1. وَإِذا طَلَبتَ مِنَ الحَوائِجِ حاجَةً

    فادعُ الإِلَهَ وَأَحسِنِ الأَعمالا

    And when you seek to have a need fulfilled,

    Then call upon God and do good deeds.

  2. فَليُعطيَنَّكَ ما أَرادَ بِقُدرَةٍ

    فَهوَ اللَطيفُ لِما أَرادَ فِعالا

    He will surely grant you what He wills, by His power;

    For He is subtle in whatever He wills to do.

  3. إِنَّ العِبادَ وَشَأنَهُم وَأُمورَهُم

    بِيَدِ الإِلَهِ يُقَلِّبُ الأَحوالا

    Indeed, people, their condition, and their affairs

    Are in God's hand; He changes circumstances.

  4. فَدَعِ العِبادَ وَلا تَكُن بِطلابِهم

    لَهِجاً تَضَعضَعُ لِلعبادِ سُؤالا

    So leave people be, and do not seek them out

    Obsessively, abasing yourself before people as you beg.
