إِغنَ عَنِ المَخلوقِ بِالخالِقِ

إِغنَ عَنِ المَخلوقِ بِالخالِقِ

تَسُدُّ عَلى الكاذِبِ وَالصادِقِ

تَسُدُّ عَلى الكاذِبِ وَالصادِقِ

Find sufficiency in the Creator, not in creatures.

Turn away from the creation to the Creator

You will prevail over liar and truth-teller alike.

Both truths and lies are closed to the liar

وَاِستَرزِقِ الرَحمَنَ 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 Merciful out of His bounty

For there is no provider other than God.

For none but Allah provides the provision

مَن ظَنَّ أَنَّ الناسَ يغنونَهُ

مَن ظَنَّ أَنَّ الناسَ يغنونَهُ

فَلَيسَ بِالرَحمَنِ بِالرائِقِ

Whoever thinks that people can make him self-sufficient

Whoever thinks people will suffice him

Is not pleasing to the Most Merciful.

Has no consciousness of the Merciful, the Observant

Or thinks his money is from his own earning

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

Slips have both his sandals from the cobbler
