حتّام في لَيل الهُمو

م زِناد فكرك تَنقدح

In the night of worries

The flint of your thoughts sparks

قَلب تَقرح بِالأَسى

وَدُموع عَين تَتَسفح

A heart ulcerated with sorrow

And tears of eyes overflowing

ارفق بِنَفسك وَاِعتَصم

بِحِمى المُهيمن تَنشَرح

Be gentle with yourself and hold fast

To the protection of the Guardian, and you will relax

وَاضرع لَهُ إِن ضاق عَن

كَ خِناق حالك تَنفسح

And supplicate to Him if the noose of

Your condition tightens, and it will loosen

ما أَم ساحة جودِهِ

ذو محنة إِلّا مَنَح

What afflicted person came to the space of His generosity

Except He granted?

أَو جاءَهُ ذو المُعضِلا

ت بِمغلق إِلّا فَتح

Or who came to Him with complex matters

Except He untied?

فَدَع السوى وَاِنهَج عَلى

نَهج السويّ المتضح

So leave aberrance and take

The path of moderation illuminated

وَاسمَع مَقالة ناصح

إِن كُنت مِمَن يَنتَصح

And listen to the advice of an advisor

If you are one who takes advice

ما تَمَّ إِلّا ما يُري

د فَدَع مُرادك وَاِطرَح

Nothing happens except what He wills

So leave your desire and let go

وَاِترُك وَساوسك الَّتي

شغلت فُؤادك تَستَرح

And leave your whispers that

Preoccupied your heart, so it may rest
