ما إِن سَأَلتُ اللَهَ في

ما إِن سَأَلتُ اللَهَ في

فضلٍ فَدَلَّ عَلى سِواكَ

فضلٍ فَدَلَّ عَلى سِواكَ

Not once did I ask God concerning

the favor meant for me but He directed me to you alone.

ماذا تَقولُ لِمُرسَلٍ

ماذا تَقولُ لِمُرسَلٍ

مِنهُ صَدوقٍ إِن أَتاكَ

مِنهُ صَدوقٍ إِن أَتاكَ

What will you say to His messenger—

a truthful one from Him—if he comes to you?

وَاِعلَم بِأَنَّكَ ما فَعَل

وَاِعلَم بِأَنَّكَ ما فَعَل

تَ فَقَد رَآهُ كَما رَآكَ

تَ فَقَد رَآهُ كَما رَآكَ

And know that whatever you have done,

He has indeed seen it, just as He has seen you.

ما لِلزَمانِ مُقاوِمٌ

ما لِلزَمانِ مُقاوِمٌ

إِلّا الكَريمُ وَأَنتَ ذاكَ

إِلّا الكَريمُ وَأَنتَ ذاكَ

No one can withstand Time

except the noble man—and you are he.
