لِلخَيرِ مَنزِلَتانِ عِندَ مَعاشِرٍ

وَلَهُ عَلى رَأيٍ ثَلاثُ مَنازِلِ

Goodness has two dwellings with every group of people,

And three perspectives based on one's opinion.

وَاللَهُ يَغفِرُ في الحِسابِ لِنِسوَةٍ

جاهَدنَ إِذ فُقِدَ الحَيا بِمَغازِلِ

God forgives women in accounting,

When life was lost in battles they persevered.

فَكَسبنَ مِنها ما يَقومُ بِأَنفُسٍ

وَالصَبرُ يَبدُنُ في الزَمانِ الهازِلِ

They gained from it what would redeem their souls,

Patience shines through during times of decline.

أَتَصَدَّقَت بِالخَيطِ ثُمَّ هَوَت إِلى ال

حَمراءِ فَاِعتَصَمَت بِخَيطِ الغازِلِ

She gave charity with a thread, then clung to the

Red one, so she held on to the weaver's thread.

وَأَنالَتِ المِسكينَ أُكلَةَ جائِعٍ

فَغَدَت كَرَوضى في المَقامِ الآزِلِ

She enabled the hungry poor to eat a meal,

Thus she became like a meadow in an eternal abode.

إِنَّ البَعوضَةَ مِن تُقىً مَوزونَةٌ

بِالفيلِ عِندَ مَليكِها وَالبازِلِ

The mosquito, though tiny, has a known weight

To its Lord and the one who determines all things.

وَتَصونُ حَبَّةُ خَردَلٍ قَدَمَ الفَتى

عَن زِلَّةٍ وَاليَومُ حِلفُ زَلازِلِ

A mustard seed guards the youth’s feet

From stumbling, though today quakes with tremors.

خَف دَعوَةَ المَظلومِ فَهيَ سَريعَةٌ

طَلَعَت فَجاءَت بِالعَذابِ النازِلِ

Fear the prayer of the wronged one, for it is swift,

It rose up bringing punishment from above.

عُزِلَ الأَميرُ عَنِ البِلادِ وَما لَهُ

إِلّا دُعاءُ ضَعيفِها مِن عازِلِ

The prince is dismissed from the country, though he has

Nothing left except the prayer of the weak he abandoned.
