أَغنِ عَنِ المَخلوقِ بِالخالِقِ

أَغنِ عَنِ المَخلوقِ بِالخالِقِ

وَاغنِ عَنِ الكاذِبِ بِالصادِقِ

وَاغنِ عَنِ الكاذِبِ بِالصادِقِ

Find sufficiency in the Creator, not in the created.

Sing of the Creator instead of the created

Find sufficiency in the Creator, leaving the created aside,

And find sufficiency in the truthful one, not in the liar.

And sing of the Truthful instead of the liar

And in the Truthful One, leaving the false behind,

وَاَستَرزِقِ الرَحمنَ مِن فَضلِهِ

وَاَستَرزِقِ الرَحمنَ مِن فَضلِهِ

فَلَيسَ غَير اللَهِ مِن رازِقِ

فَلَيسَ غَير اللَهِ مِن رازِقِ

And ask the Most Merciful for sustenance from His bounty.

And seek your provision from the Most Merciful

Seek your sustenance from the Most Merciful, out of His bounty,

For there is no provider other than God.

For none but Allah provides sustenance

For there is no provider other than God.

مَن ظَنَّ أَن الرِزقَ في كَفِّهِ

مَن ظَنَّ أَن الرِزقَ في كَفِّهِ

فَلَيسَ بِالرَحمَنِ بِالواثِقِ

فَلَيسَ بِالرَحمَنِ بِالواثِقِ

Whoever thinks that sustenance is in his own hand

He who thinks provision is in his hands

Whoever believes that provision lies within his own grasp

does not trust in the Most Merciful.

Does not have firm faith in the Most Merciful

Has not placed his trust in the Most Merciful;

أَو ظَنَّ أَنَّ الناسَ يُغنونَهُ

أَو ظَنَّ أَنَّ الناسَ يُغنونَهُ

زَلَّت بِهِ النَعلانِ مِن حالِقِ

زَلَّت بِهِ النَعلانِ مِن حالِقِ

Or whoever thinks that people can make him self-sufficient—

Or thinks people will make him wealthy

And whoever thinks that people can grant him sufficiency

his two sandals slip, carrying him down from a lofty peak.

His slippers will slip off the cobbler

Has let his feet slip from a towering height.
