لِي هِمَّةٌ لا تَشْتَكِي إنْ نالها
ضُرٌّ إلَى أَحَدٍ سِوَى الرَّحْمَنِ
I have a proud spirit that, if harm befalls it, makes no complaint
to anyone but the All-Merciful,
الموْتُ دُونَ خُضُوعِها في مَطْلَبٍ
يُرْجَى عَلَى طَمَعٍ منَ الإنْسانِ
the One to whom complaint is made—without abasing itself in pursuit of something
desired, out of craving, from a human being.
فَتَحَمُّلُ الأثْقالِ اَيْسَرُ مُؤْنَةً
مِنْ حَمْلِ أعبا مِنَّةِ الإحْسانِ
For bearing heavy loads is less burdensome
than bearing the weight of a benefactor’s favor.
