أَإِن فاتَ ما كُنتَ أَمَّلتَهُ

جَزِعتَ وَماذا يَرُدُّ الجَزَع

If what you hoped for has passed you by

Do not grieve, for what can grief achieve?

فَفَوِّض إِلى اللَهِ كُلَّ الأُمورِ

فَلَيسَ يَكونُ سِوى ما صَنَع

Entrust all matters unto God

For only what He wills will be

وَلا يَخدَعَنَّكَ صَرفُ الزَمان

فَإِنَّ الزَمانَ كَثيرُ الخُدَع

And let not the turning of time deceive you

For time is full of many tricks
