تكفلت يا رزاق بالرزق مطلتا

بغير حساب بين كثر وقلة

You have pledged, O Provider, to grant sustenance [unconditionally],

Without reckoning, whether abundant or scant.

فما الجد في الأرزاق إلا توكل

وإلا فما في الرزق تبديل قسمة

So striving for sustenance is nothing but reliance on You;

Otherwise, no allotted share of sustenance can be changed.

ضمنت به للخلق حسب احتياجهم

على سبل الأسباب كل لوجهة

You have guaranteed it to Your creatures according to their need,

Along the paths of means, each toward its own course.

وهيأت أسباب الحصول بأوجه

ميسرة حسب افتراق المعيشة

And You have prepared the means of obtaining it in ways

Made easy, according to differences in livelihood.

ولم تجعل الأسباب علة رزقهم

ولكنه تدبير لطف وحكمة

And You have not made these means the cause of their sustenance;

Rather, it is an arrangement of kindness and wisdom.

الهي يقيني في ضمانك عمدتي

وفضلك خير الرازقين ذخيرتي

My God, my certainty in Your guarantee is my mainstay,

And Your bounty, O best of providers, is my reserve.

وحسبي من رزقي بأنك كافل

به قبل بسط الكف مني بدعوتي

And for my sustenance, it is enough that You stand surety

For it, before I stretch out my palm in supplication.

وفرض سؤال العبد واللّه فاعل

لما اختاره من يسر عبد وعسرة

And the servant's asking is a duty, while God brings about

What He has chosen of ease and hardship for a servant.

ومرزوق هذا الكون يطلب رزقه

إليك ويستوفي ضمان الربوبة

And each creature sustained in this universe seeks its provision,

Turning to You, and receives in full what divine lordship guarantees.

وما حيلة المضطر في الرزق غير ما

فتحت به من دعوة ووسيلة

And what recourse has the distressed for sustenance, other than what

You have opened up through supplication and a means of approach?

فما رازق النعاب أدعوك بائساً

بفيض اسمك الرزاق وسع معيشتي

So, Provider of the raven chick, I do not call upon You in misery;

Through the outpouring of Your name, the Provider, expand my livelihood.
