You were enamored of noble deeds until you came to be named

Aim for virtuous deeds, until you are called

for what all souls agree upon.

What souls agree upon unanimously

كلُّ نَفسٍ لها رَجاءٌ مِن ال

كلُّ نَفسٍ لها رَجاءٌ مِن ال

لهِ إذا اصبحَت تُشيرُ إِلَيهِ

Every soul has hope from

Every soul has hopes from God

God, when it points toward him in the morning.

When morning comes, it points to Him

فلتَسدَّ الخُطوبُ إن قَدرَت عَن

ني وجُوهَ العَطاءِ من جانِبَيهِ

So let adversities, if they can, bar from

Let difficulties cease, if you can

me the avenues of bounty from both his sides.

And turn to me the faces of generosity from both its sides

فبكِلتا يَديهِ قادَني الظَّن

فبكِلتا يَديهِ قادَني الظَّن

نُ إلى واهبٍ بِكِلتا يَدَيهِ

For with both its hands, expectation led me

So with both His hands, conjecture led me

to one who gives with both his hands.

To a Giver with both His hands
