اِصبِر لِكُلِّ مُصيبَةٍ وَتَجَلَّدِ

وَاِعلَم بِأَنَّ المَرءَ غَيرُ مُخَلَّدِ

Be patient through every calamity, and stand firm;

And know that no human being lives forever.

أَوَما تَرى أَنَّ المَصائِبَ جَمَّةٌ

وَتَرى المَنِيَّةَ لِلعِبادِ بِمَرصَدِ

Do you not see how many calamities there are,

And see death lying in wait for humankind?

مَن لَم يُصِب مِمَّن تَرى بِمُصيبَةٍ

هَذا سَبيلٌ لَستَ فيهِ بِأَوحَدِ

Who among all those you see has not been struck by calamity?

This is a path on which you are not alone.

وَإِذا ذَكَرتَ مُحَمَّداً وَمَصابَهُ

فَاِذكُر مُصابَكَ بِالنَبِيِّ مُحَمَّدِ

And when you remember Muhammad and what befell him,

Remember your own bereavement for the Prophet Muhammad.
