رُبَّ أَمرٍ تَتَّقيهِ

رُبَّ أَمرٍ تَتَّقيهِ

جَرَّ أَمراً تَرتَجيهِ

جَرَّ أَمراً تَرتَجيهِ

Many a thing you guard against

Many a matter you seek to avoid

Has brought about something you hope for.

Has brought about that which you desire

خَفِيَ المَحبوبُ مِنهُ

خَفِيَ المَحبوبُ مِنهُ

وَبَدا المَكروهُ فيهِ

وَبَدا المَكروهُ فيهِ

What was welcome in it lay hidden,

The beloved is concealed within it

And what was unwelcome appeared within it.

While the loathed has appeared therein

فَاِترُكِ الدَهرَ وَسَلِّم

فَاِترُكِ الدَهرَ وَسَلِّم

هُ إِلى عَدلٍ يَليهِ

هُ إِلى عَدلٍ يَليهِ

So leave time alone, and entrust

So leave this world and surrender

It to a just one who governs it.

To the justice that comes after it
