1. عن الناس الاستغناء للمرء ممكن

    ولكن عن الرحمن ليس بممكن

    A person can be independent of other people,

    but cannot be independent of the All-Merciful.

  2. فانا له في حالة الفقر دائماً

    وعن كل شيءٍ ما سواه هو الغني

    For I am always in need of Him,

    while He has no need of anything besides Himself.

  3. فإياك إياك الخضوع لغيره

    ولكن له اخضع دائماً وتمسكن

    So beware, beware of submitting to anyone but Him;

    but submit to Him always, and humble yourself.

  4. فذلك للرحمن عز وانني

    جعلت إلى ربي التضرع ديدني

    For such submission to the All-Merciful is honor, and indeed I

    have made supplication to my Lord my constant practice.
