أَرادَ الشَرّ مِثل الخَير رَبّي

فَذَلِكَ لِلشَقيِّ وَذا لِحزبِه

My Lord wished evil as well as good,

So that is for the wretched and for his party.

وَحاشى أَن يَكون مراد عَبدٍ

ضَعيفٍ غالِباً لِمُراد رَبِّه

Far be it that the wish of a weak servant

Should overcome the wish of his Lord.

تَعالى الحَقُّ إنّ الحَقّ بادٍ

إِذا نَظَر الحَليم بَعَين لبِّه

Exalted is the Truth! The Truth endures

When the forebearing beholds with the eye of his heart.
