لا تَحزُنَنَّكَ حاجاتي أَبا عُمَرِ

فَأَنتَ مِنهُنَّ بَينَ الشُكرِ وَالعِذَرِ

Do not let my needs make you sad, O father Omar

For between gratitude and excuse, you are ahead

ما راجَ مِنها فَإِنَّ اللَهَ يَسَّرَهُ

وَما تَأَخَّرَ مَحمولٌ عَلى القَدَرِ

Whatever came of them, God made easy

And whatever was delayed is fate's decree
