أسلمتُ وجهي للذي

فطرَ الخلائقَ مِن عَدَمْ

I submit my face to He who

Created all creatures from nonexistence

سبحانَ ربِّكَ إنَّه

لو قال كُنْ للشيءِ تَمّْ

Glory be to your Lord, indeed He

If He says "Be" to a thing, it becomes

فالحمدُ للهِ الذي

في حُكمِه الفصلُ الأتَمّْ

So praise be to Allah who

In His judgement is the most perfect

مَن كان لا يَرضَى به

فلَهُ المهانةُ والنَّدَمْ

He who is not pleased with Him

For him is disgrace and regret

لو كنتَ تعلمُ مهربًا

مِن حُكمِه فانظُرْه ثَمّْ

If you knew an escape

From His judgement then look for it

فاصبِرْ لربِّكَ إنَّه

سيجودُ بالخيرِ الأعَمّْ

So be patient for your Lord, indeed He

Will bring the greatest good

ويَذِلُّ كلُّ منافقٍ

قد خاض في مدحٍ وذَمّْ

And humiliate every hypocrite

Who indulged in praise and blame

واعلَمْ بأنَّ الأمرَ حيـ

ـثُ أرادَ ربُّكَ واستَتَمّْ

And know that the matter is alive

Wherever your Lord willed and completed

ما كان ربُّكَ غافلًا

أو كان يَتركُ مَن ظَلَمْ

Your Lord was not unaware

Or leaving one who wronged

لكنَّه قَدَرٌ جرَى

ومضَى بما خَطَّ القَلَمْ

But it was a decree that flowed

And passed with what the pen wrote

ليَمِيزَ ربُّكَ مَن غوَى

ومَنِ استقامَ ومَن ألمّْ

So your Lord may distinguish who strayed

And who was steadfast and who faltered

في الدَّهرِ آياتٌ مضتْ

وتَجِيءُ آياتٌ وكَمْ!!

In life are signs that have passed

And signs that come and go!!

لا يَعبُرُ الفُسَّاقُ منـ

ـها غيرَ ترديدٍ وطَمّْ

The sinners do not learn from them

Except repetition and nonsense
