ولقد علمتُ بأن رزقي يأتيني

ولقد علمتُ بأن رزقي يأتيني

وسيان فيه تحركي وسكونِ

وسيان فيه تحركي وسكونِ

And indeed, I have learned that my sustenance comes to me,

I knew that my sustenance would come to me

And in this, my movement and my stillness are alike.

Whether I move or stay still does not matter

وعلمتُ أن تحركي مع خالقي

وعلمتُ أن تحركي مع خالقي

للرزق جهلٌ ثم ذاك جنون

للرزق جهلٌ ثم ذاك جنون

And I have learned that my striving alongside my Creator

And I knew that moving with my Creator

For sustenance is ignorance—and furthermore, madness.

Seeking sustenance is ignorance, even madness

وسألت ربي أن يوفقني لما

وسألت ربي أن يوفقني لما

يرضيه مني لن تخيب ظنونِ

يرضيه مني لن تخيب ظنونِ

And I asked my Lord to grant me success in what

I asked my Lord to help me do

Pleases Him from me; my hopes will not be disappointed.

What pleases Him, hopes will not be unfulfilled

وعليّ يظهر فضله لا عدله

وعليّ يظهر فضله لا عدله

ويكمل الفن الجميل فنونِ

ويكمل الفن الجميل فنونِ

And upon me His grace, not His justice, is manifest,

And on me appears His grace, not justice

And the beautiful art brings my arts to perfection.

And completes this beautiful art of arts
