أنْعِمْ عَلى مَنْ تَشاءُ

فأنْتَ حَتْماً أمِيرُهْ

Bestow favor upon whom you please

You are surely their commander

واحْتَجْ لِمَنْ شِئْتَ يَوماً

فما سِواكَ أسيرُهْ

And defend whom you wish one day

For none but you are their conqueror

واسْتَغْنِ باللهِ عَمَّنْ

تَشاءُ أنتَ نَظِيرُهْ

And be self-sufficient with God without

Whom you wish, you are their peer

فالمرءُ عَبْدُ هَواهُ

يَضيرُهُ أو يُجيرُهْ

Man is slave to his passion

That harms him or grants him refuge
