لَو كانَ في صَخرَةٍ في البَحرِ راسيَة

صَمّاءَ مَلمومَةٍ مُلسٍ نَواحيها

If there were, within a rock anchored in the sea,

Solid, compact, and smooth upon its sides,

رِزقٌ لِعَبدٍ يَراهُ اللَهُ لانغَلَقَت

حَتّى يَؤدّى إِلَيهِ كُلُّ ما فيها

A servant's sustenance known to God, it would cleave asunder,

Until it surrendered to him all that lay within.

أَو كانَ تَحتَ طِباقِ السَبعِ مَطلَبُها

كَسَهَّلِ اللَهِ في المَرقى مَراقيها

Or were its quest beneath the seven layered heavens,

God would surely make easy the steps of its ascent,

حَتّى تُودّي الَّذي في اللَوحِ خُطَّ لَهُ

إِن هِي أَتَتهُ وَإِلّا سَوفَ يَأتيها

Until it delivers what was inscribed for him in the Tablet,

Whether it comes to him, or else he shall go to it.
