يا رُبَّ رِزقٍ قَد أَتى مِن سَبَب

يا رُبَّ رِزقٍ قَد أَتى مِن سَبَب

لَو سَلَّمَ العَبدُ إِلَيهِ الطَلَب

O Lord of provision that came from a cause

had the servant entrusted his pursuit to it.

If only the servant surrendered to it his request

وَرُبَّ مَن قَد جاءَهُ رِزقُهُ

وَرُبَّ مَن قَد جاءَهُ رِزقُهُ

مِن حَيثُ لايَرجو وَلايَحتَسِب

مِن حَيثُ لايَرجو وَلايَحتَسِب

And many a person has received his sustenance

And the Lord of he whose provision came to him

from where he neither hopes for it nor expects it.

From where he does not hope nor account

ما أَنفَعَ العَقلَ لِأَصحابِهِ

ما أَنفَعَ العَقلَ لِأَصحابِهِ

نَتيجَةُ العَقلِ تَمامُ الأَدَب

نَتيجَةُ العَقلِ تَمامُ الأَدَب

How beneficial reason is to those who possess it!

How useful is reason for its owners

The result of reason is perfect conduct.

The outcome of reason is perfection of manner

Indeed, I consider deluded the one deceived by

Indeed I see the deluded one whom time deluded

time, despite how often it changes.

Due to the frequency of its overturning

ما يَستَقيمُ الأَمرُ إِلّا التَوى

ما يَستَقيمُ الأَمرُ إِلّا التَوى

وَلا يَجيءُ الشَيءُ إِلّا ذَهَب

وَلا يَجيءُ الشَيءُ إِلّا ذَهَب

No affair goes straight but it turns crooked,

The matter will not go straight except with repentance

and nothing comes but it passes away.

And nothing comes except it goes

وَالدَهرُ لا تَفنى أَعاجيبُهُ

وَالدَهرُ لا تَفنى أَعاجيبُهُ

في كُلِّ ما فَكَّرتَ فيهِ عَجَب

في كُلِّ ما فَكَّرتَ فيهِ عَجَب

And time's wonders never cease;

And time, its wonders do not cease

in everything you ponder, there is a wonder.

In all that you pondered, it is wonder
