في شهوةِ البطنِ سِرٌ ليس يعلمه

إلا الذي شاهد الرزّاق رَزاقا

In the desire of the belly there is a secret only known

By those who have seen the Sustainer as the Sustainer

لولا الغذاء ولولا سِرُّ حكمته

ما لاح فرعٌ ولا عاينت أعراقا

If not for food and the mystery of its wisdom

No branch would bloom and no veins be seen

فكُل حلالاً إذا كان المحلَّل مو

جوداً بقلبك وهّاباً وخلاّقا

So eat what is lawful when the Lawgiver is

Generous in your heart, Giving, Creating
