قُل لِمَن قالَ إِنَّ باري البَرايا

لَيسُنَّ في خَلقِهِ مُريدٌ سِواهُ

Tell those who claim the Maker of all things

Has no intentions save what He brings,

مَن تُرى إِن أَرادَ بِالعَبدِ سوءاً

راحَ في العَبدِ كارِهاً ما قَضاهُ

Who do you think when wanting to do ill

To a servant goes against his will?

اِتَّقوا اللَهِ ذاكَ أَمرٌ مُحالٌ

أَن يَرى ساخِطَ رِضاهُ رِضاهُ

Fear God, for this is surely untrue,

That He'd be displeased with what He wills to do.

وَإِذا لَم يَكُن فَقَد ثَبَتَ الفِعلُ

لِعَبدٍ وَمانَ في مُدَّعاهُ

And if not so, the act remains intact

For the servant, though his claim was false in fact.
