1. إذا قيَّضَ اللهُ أمراً دنَت

    عليكَ مسافَة أطرافِهِ

    When God ordains a matter, there draws near

    to you the distance to its farthest reaches.

  2. وإن يقضِ بالعُسرِ في مطلَبٍ

    فَمنْ لكَ يَوماً بإسعافِهِ

    And if He decrees hardship in a pursuit,

    who, then, can ever help you attain it?
