طوبى لِعَبدٍ أكمَلَ الفَرضَا

وأَحسَنَ النِّيَّةَ والقَرضا

Blessed is the servant who completes the duty,

And intends good and fulfills the loan.

يَعرِضُ بَلواه على رَبِّهِ

ويَحذرُ الموقِفَ والعَرضا

He presents his afflictions to his Lord,

And is wary of the station and presentation.

مُستَصحِبَ العَبرَةِ مهما رَنا

إلى السَّماءِ ابتَدَرَ الأَرضا

With lessons learned, no matter how he supplicates,

To the heavens, seizing the earth.

إِن لم يَنَل صالِحَةً وادعاً

شدَّ إليها الرَّحلَ والغَرضا

If he does not attain righteousness and supplication,

He journeys to it, his saddle and purpose.

كَم ساءَ ظناً بالَّذي سَّرهُ

وحاسبَ النَّفسَ فَلَم يرضا

How evil is the suspicion of one made happy,

Who judges himself yet is not content.
