تَنَكَّب مَذهَبَ الهُمَجِ

وَعُذ بِالصَبرِ تَبتَهِجِ

Turn away from the path of the brutes

And find solace in patience, you'll rejoice

فَإِنَّ مُظلّم الأَيّا

مِ مَحجوجٌ بِلا حُجَجِ

For the oppression of days

Is without argument, lacking logic

تَسامُحُنا بِلا شُكرٍ

وَتَمَتُّعنا بِلا حَرَجِ

We forgive without thanks

And enjoy without shame

وَلُطفُ اللَهِ في إِتيا

نِها فَتحٌ مِنَ اللَجَجِ

God's kindness in bringing them

Is escape from distress

فمن ضيقٍ إلى سِعَةٍ

ومن غَمٍ إلى فرجِ

So from straitness to spaciousness

And from gloom to relief
