لَيسَ يَرجو اللَهَ إِلّا خائِفٌ

مَن رَجا خافَ وَمَن خافَ رَجا

None hopes in God except one who fears

Whoever hopes, fears, and whoever fears, hopes

قَلَّما يَنجو امرُؤٌ مِن فِتنَةٍ

عَجَباً مِمَّن نَجى كَيفَ نَجا

Seldom does a man escape from ordeal

How strange is he who escaped—how did he escape?

تَرغَبُ النَفسُ إِذا رَغَّبتَها

وَإِذا زَجَّيتَ بِالشَيءِ زَجا

The soul inclines wherever you incline it

And flows easily into whatever channel you direct it
