1. كُلُّ يَومٍ يَأتي بِرِزقٍ جَديدِ

    مِن مَليكٍ لَنا غَنِيٍّ حَميدِ

    Every day brings fresh provision

    From our Sovereign, self-sufficient and praiseworthy.

  2. قادِرٌ قاهِرٌ قَوِيٌّ لَطيفٍ

    ظاهِرٍ باطِنٍ قَريبٍ بَعيدِ

    Powerful, all-subduing, mighty, gentle;

    Manifest, hidden, near, far.

  3. حَجَبَتهُ الغُيوبُ عَن كُلِّ عَينٍ

    وَهوَ فينا أَنيسُ كُلِّ وَحيدِ

    The unseen has veiled Him from every eye,

    And among us He is the companion of every lonely one.

  4. حَسبُنا اللَهُ رَبُّنا هُوَ مَولىً

    خَيرُ مَولىً وَنَحنُ شَرُّ عَبيدِ

    God, our Lord, suffices us; He is a master—

    The best of masters, and we the worst of servants.

  5. خَلَقَ الخَلقَ لِلفَناءِ فَهُم بَي

    نَ شَقِيٍّ مِنهُم وَبَينَ سَعيدِ

    He created all creatures to perish; so they are divided between

    The wretched among them and the happy.

  6. لَيتَ شِعري وَكَيفَ حالُكَ يا نَف

    سُ غَداً بَينَ سائِقٍ وَشَهيدِ

    If only I knew—how will you fare, O soul,

    Tomorrow, between a driver and a witness?

  7. كُلُّنا صائِرٌ إِلى المَلِكِ الدَي

    يانِ رَبِّ الأَربابِ يَومَ الوَعيدِ

    All of us are bound for the King, the Judge,

    Lord of lords, on the Day of threatened punishment.

  8. وَالمَنايا تَأتي عَلى كُلِّ شَيءٍ

    وَالبَلى مُرصَدٌ لِكُلِّ جَديدِ

    And death overtakes everything,

    And decay lies in wait for all that is new.
