توكل على الرحمن الامر كله

توكل على الرحمن الامر كله

توكل ذي عقل نحا منهج الادب

توكل ذي عقل نحا منهج الادب

In every matter, put your trust in the All-Merciful,

Trust in the Most Merciful with all your affairs

With the trust of a wise person who follows the path of proper conduct.

Trust, O wise one, follows the path of proper conduct

فلا تقعدن حلس البطالة غافلا

فلا تقعدن حلس البطالة غافلا

ولا ترغبن في العجز يوما عن الطلب

ولا ترغبن في العجز يوما عن الطلب

So do not sit heedless, clinging to idleness,

Do not sit idly in laziness, unaware

Nor ever wish to be incapable of striving.

And do not desire helplessness, ever seeking sustenance

الم تر ان الله قال لمريم

الم تر ان الله قال لمريم

كما القلم القدسي في لوحه كتب

كما القلم القدسي في لوحه كتب

Have you not seen that God said to Mary,

Have you not seen that Allah said to Mary

As the sacred Pen wrote upon its tablet,

As the holy pen wrote on its tablet

مذ انفردت لله في ظل نخلة

مذ انفردت لله في ظل نخلة

وهزي اليك الجذع يساقط الرطب

وهزي اليك الجذع يساقط الرطب

When she withdrew alone for God in the shade of a palm tree:

Since you secluded yourself for Allah in the shade of a palm tree

"And shake the trunk toward yourself; it will shed ripe dates."

And shook the trunk so that the ripe dates would fall

ولو شاء ان تجنيه من غير هزها

ولو شاء ان تجنيه من غير هزها

ومن غير اعمال الوسائل والتعب

ومن غير اعمال الوسائل والتعب

And had He willed that she gather them without shaking it,

Had He willed that you harvest it without shaking

And without employing means or toil,

And without applying means and effort

لمال اليها الجذع حتى بحجرها

لمال اليها الجذع حتى بحجرها

جنته ولكن كل شيء له سبب

جنته ولكن كل شيء له سبب

The trunk would have bent toward her, so that in her lap

He would have inclined the trunk to you with its fruit

She could gather them—but everything has a cause.

So you could harvest it, but everything has a cause
