الخيرُ مَصْنوعٌ بصانِعِهِ

فمَتَى صنعْتَ الخيرَ أعقبكا

Good is made by its maker

So when you do good, it will come back to you

والشَّرُّ مفعولٌ بفاعِلِهِ

فمتى فعلْتَ الشر أعطبكا

And evil is done by its doer

So when you do evil, it will afflict you

تاللَّهِ ما ألهبْتَ مُصْطلِياً

إلّا لنَحْسٍ فيك ألْهَبكا

By Allah, you have not lit a torch

Except for misfortune in yourself you have ignited

فاحْرِصْ على ألّا تُسيءَ عسى

ألّا يكونَ النَّحْسُ كَوْكبكا

So be careful not to do wrong, hopefully

Misfortune will not be your star

واعْلَمْ بأنَّ اللَّه مُنتقِمٌ

فاجعَلْ تُقاةَ اللهِ مَهْرَبكا

And know that Allah takes revenge

So make fearing Allah your refuge

لا تحسبِنَّ اللَّه مُطَّرحاً

مَن بِتَّ تَضْحَكُ منه حين بكى

Do not think Allah forgets

Whoever laughed at him when he cried

أو يَسْتَقيدَ له وينْصُرَهُ

ويصيبَ بالتَكْديرِ مَشْرَبكا

Or sought help from him and he supported him

And made misfortune his drink

فأنِبْ إليهِ تُصبك رحْمَتُه

وارْهَبْ إذا ما اللَّهُ أرهبكا

So repent to Him, and His mercy will come upon you

And fear Him if He frightens you

ومتى أقالكَ فاخْشَ سَطْوَتَه

فهْوَ القديرُ إذا تطلَّبَكا

And when He spares you, fear His power

For He is capable when He takes you

لا تُطمِعَنَّك فيه رأفتُهُ

إنَّ المطامع تنصِبُ الشَّبَكا

Do not let His kindness make you covetous

Indeed, greed sets up traps
