اللَهُ هَوَّنَ عِندَكَ الدُنيا

وَبَغَّضَها إِلَيكا

God made this world contemptible to you

And made you hate it

فَأَبَيتَ إِلّا أَن تُصَّغِّ

رَ كُلَّ شَيءٍ في يَدَيكا

But you insisted on grasping

Everything in your hands

ما هانَتِ الدُنيا عَلى

أَحَدٍ كَما هانَت عَلَيكا

The world was not belittled to anyone

As much as it was belittled to you
