حسنتُ ظني بربي

فاعقب الظنَّ خيرا

I held good thoughts of my Lord

So these good thoughts brought much good

أعطاني الظنَّ فيه

يخراً كثيراً ومميرا

These good thoughts granted me

Great and abundant blessings

به تعوَّدتُ شرعا

من ردِّه الكور حورا

Through Him I grew accustomed to virtue

To see misfortune turned to joy

فأسرع الخيرُ نحوي

سيرا حثيثا فسيرا

So goodness rushed swiftly toward me

Traveling fast, faster and fastest
