ثِقْ بِالّذي يولي المِنَنْ

وَاِقصُدْه دَوماً وَاِسأَلَنْ

Trust in Him who grants favors,

Always seek Him and implore Him.

وَإِلَيهِ سَلِّم وَاِركُنَنْ

لا تَجلِسَنَّ بِبابِ مَنْ

Surrender to Him and rely on Him,

Do not sit at the door of one,

يَأبى عَلَيكَ دُخولَ دارِهْ

لا تَغتَرِرْ فيها لَديهْ

Who refuses you entry to his house.

Do not be fooled by his presence,

تُبدي الخضوعَ لدى يديهْ

مُتَوكّلاً جَهلاً عَلَيهْ

Showing submission at his hands,

Helplessly ignorant of him,

وَتَقول حاجاتي إِلَيهْ

يَعوقُها إِنْ لَم أُدارِهْ

Saying my needs are with him,

If I don't flatter him.

أيَعوقُها يا ذا البَها

لو شاءَ ربُّك قُربَها

How could he hinder them, O wise one,

If your Lord willed, He would bring them near.

وَاللّهُ يَقضي صَعبَها

فَاِتركْ وَجانِب ربَّها

God fulfills the difficult ones,

So leave it and turn to its Lord,

تُقضى وَربُّ الدّارِ كارِهْ

It will be fulfilled though the house's Lord dislikes it.
