يا غادِياً في حِرْصِهِ رائِحاً

لَرَفْضُكَ الحِرْصَ هو الخيرُ لَكْ

O you who go in pursuit of desire, rushing

Your rejection of desire is goodness for you

لم تَدْرِ أنَّ الله سُبحانَهُ

هو الَّذي بِفِضلِهِ استَقْبَلكْ

You do not know that Allah the Glorious

Is He who by His favor welcomed you

رآكَ مُضطَرّاً بِلا قُوَّةٍ

فمنَّ بالقُوَّةِ واختارَ لَكْ

He saw you helpless, without any strength

So He blessed you with strength and chose for you

فَفوِّضِ الأمْرَ لِتَدْبِيرهِ

مُرتَضِياً مِنهْ بما حُقَّ لَكْ

So entrust the matter to His arrangement

Content with what He decreed as right for you

وكُنْ كما كُنْتَ لَهُ أوّلاً

يَكُنْ لَكَ الآنَ كما كانَ لَكْ

And be as you were with Him at first

So He may be with you now as He was with you
