من لي بمن أرتضيه
في كلِّ ما أمضيهِ
Who can find me one whom I approve of
in everything I carry through,
مما أراه سَداداً
والحبُّ لا يقتضيه
among the things I deem right—
though love does not demand it?
فشأنه الأمر فينا
وحبُّنا يمضيه
For love’s role among us is to command,
and our love carries its command through.
سبحانه وتعالى
في كلِّما يقضيه
Glory be to Him, and exalted is He
in all that He decrees.
فكلُّ ما جاء منه
هو الذي أرتضيه
For everything that has come from Him
is precisely what I accept.
Sol 5.6
