كُلُّ ناعٍ فَسَيُنعى

كُلُّ باكٍ فَسَيُبكى

Every complainer will be complained of

Every herald of death shall himself be heralded,

Every weeping one will weep

Every weeper shall himself be wept for.

كُلُّ مَذخورٍ سَيَفنى

كُلُّ مَذكورٍ سَيُنسى

Every feared one will perish

Every hoarded treasure is destined to perish,

Every mentioned one will be forgotten

Every remembered name shall be forgotten.

لَيسَ غَيرَ اللَهِ يَبقى

مَن عَلا فَاللَهُ أَعلى

None but Allah remains

There is nothing but God that eternally remains,

Whoever exalts, Allah is higher

And whoever rises high, God is higher still.

إِنَّ شَيئاً قَد كُفينا

هُ لَهُ نَسعى وَنَشقى

Indeed, we have been sufficiently forewarned

Verily, the very matter that has been guaranteed to us,

To Him we strive and writhe

Is that for which we toil and suffer in vain.

إِنَّ لِلشَرِّ وَلِلخَيـ

ـرِ لَسيما لَيسَ تَخفى

Indeed, for evil and for good

Indeed, both for evil and for good,

There are signs - nothing is concealed

There are distinct marks that cannot remain hidden.

كُلُّ مُستَخفٍ بِسِرٍّ

فَمِنَ اللَهِ بِمَرأى

Whoever takes a secret lightly

Every soul seeking to conceal a secret,

Is in Allah's view

Stands fully exposed in the sight of God.

لا تَرى شَيئاً عَلى اللَـ

ـهِ مِنَ الأَشياءِ يَخفى

You will not see anything

You shall find not a single thing,

In creation concealed from Allah

That is veiled from the knowledge of God.
