إِنْ ضِقتَ ذَرعاً فَاِصطَبِرْ

إِنْ ضِقتَ ذَرعاً فَاِصطَبِرْ

فَالصّبرُ فيهِ يُنْجَحُ

فَالصّبرُ فيهِ يُنْجَحُ

If you feel overwhelmed, then be patient.

If you are straitened, then show patience,

وَالضّيقُ عِندي نِعمَةٌ

وَالضّيقُ عِندي نِعمَةٌ

بِها اللَّبيبُ يَفرَحُ

بِها اللَّبيبُ يَفرَحُ

And hardship, to me, is a blessing.

And adversity for me is a blessing,

In it the wise person rejoices.

Through which the wise rejoice,

لَو سُدَّ بابٌ فَاِنشرحْ

لَو سُدَّ بابٌ فَاِنشرحْ

فَأَلفُ بابٍ يُفتحُ

فَأَلفُ بابٍ يُفتحُ

If a door is closed, then take heart.

If a door is closed, then be of good cheer,

For a thousand doors will be opened.

For a thousand doors will open.
