رجواكَ في اللهِ لا تُخْطَأْ مراميهِ

أَنــَّى يُــسَدِّدُ، إِنْ لَبَّى مُنـاديـهِ

I implore you in God, do not miss his aims

How can he guide, if his caller turns away?

هو السَّميعُ قريبٌ عندَ سائلِهِ

فَاغْنَمْ بما شاءَ، أو ما كُنتَ داعيهِ

He is All-Hearing, close to the one who prays to Him

So enjoy what He willed, or what you prayed for

هو المهيمِنُ، مُلـْكُ الكَـونِ قَبْضَتُهُ

يا نِعْــمَ سَائِلُــهُ فضلاً وراجيهِ

He has full control, King of the universe in His grasp

What a great giver to the one who asks and hopes of Him

دعوتَ في هجعاتِ الليلِ محتسِبًا

إنعـــــــامَ فضلٍ تَهَامَى من أياديهِ

You called in the night vigil praying with pure intention

For the bestowal of His endless grace from His hands

لا بابَ تَطْرُقُهُ، لا دارَ تدخُلُها

فأَينما أنتَ، فَاهْنَأْ في نواحيهِ

No door you knock but He is there, no house you enter

So wherever you are, rejoice in His surroundings

هو الزَّمانُ هو الأَنحاءُ أَجمعُها

هو الوجودُ الذي تسمو مبانيهِ

He is time itself, and all directions belong to Him

He is existence, transcending the highest perceptions

إنْ يخفقِ القلبُ بالنَّجوى يساعِفُهُ

بما هـو الخيرُ في أَصْفى تَجَلِّيهِ

If the heart whispers to Him, He rewards it doubly

With what is good, in the clearest of His manifestations

كفاكَ منهُ أماناً عَزَّ مطلبُهُ

فما الأَمانُ سوى ما كانَ يُضفيهِ

His protection is enough, seek only what uplifts you

For security is only found in what He confers

وما السَّعَادَةُ إِلاَّ أَنْ يجودَ بها

كنفثةِ الرُّوحِ ندَّتْ من معانيهِ

Happiness is but what He bestows generously

As breaths of the soul, inspired by His essence

وما المعزَّةُ إلاَّ أنْ يطيبَ لها

عهدٌ معَ اللهِ بالإِحْسَانِ يُبقِيهِ

Comfort is to have a pact with God of benevolence

A covenant of kindness and care He maintains

فَكُنْ مَعَ اللهِ لا تلوي إِلى أَحَدٍ

يراكَ في حاجةٍ مِمَّا يُسَلِّيهِ!

So be with God, incline toward no one else

Who sees you needy, offering false relief

ما أقبحَ الذُّلَّ في بابٍ يُسَامُ بِه

عِرضُ الشَّريفِ وقد سحَّتْ مآقيهِ

How ugly is humiliation at the doors of those

Who strip the noble of dignity, despite their means

فَوِلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ اللهِ تُكْرِمُهُ

كما تَوَلاَّكَ بالإِكرامِ مُنْشِيِهِ

Turn your face to God, and He will honor you

As He has honored you with grace since the beginning

وصُنْهُ عن ذِلَّةٍ في حاجةٍ قُضِيَتْ

لو أَنَّها الخيرُ من إحسانِ حاميهِ

Protect it from disgrace in any fulfilled need

Even if it appears good, from a guardian's care

أغناكَ ربُّكَ عنْ عبدٍ يُضَلِّلُهُ

مالٌ وجاهٌ ومُلكٌ باتَ يُغريهِ

Your Lord has enriched you beyond any servant

Tempted by wealth and status, fallen to greed

هو الفقيرُ إلى مولاهُ لو طَرَقَتْ

طوارقٌ حينَها لا شيءَ يَفديهِ!

He is in need of his Master - were hardships to befall

Nothing would ransom him! His state is dire indeed

وَاسْلَمْ بنفسِكَ تنجو من مصائدِها

فما لِعَبْدٍ سِوى الرَّحمنِ مُنْجِيهِ

So surrender yourself and escape the traps

For no servant has, but the Merciful, his savior
