أقولُ لصحبي والهُمومُ كأنها

شَبا صارمٍ قد أرهف القينُ حدَّه

I say to my friends, while worries are like

A sharp, well-honed sword, their edge made keen,

لَدُنْ غدْوةً قلَّ النصير من الورى

فلا ناصرٌ اِلا المُهَيمنُ وحْدهُ

Since early morn, few are the helpers found;

No aid but God's alone can intervene.

ثِقوا بالذي شادَ السماءَ بأيْدهِ

ومنْ هو كافٍ في المُلِمّاتِ عبدهُ

Have faith in Him whose hands the heavens spread,

For in distress He suffices for His servants.
