Sol 6.1

  1. تَوَكَّل عَلى اللَّهِ العَظيمِ جَلالُهُ

    وَسَلِّم إِلَيهِ الأَمرَ تَسلَمْ وَتغنَمِ

    Trust in God, whose majesty is immense,

    And entrust the matter to Him; you will be safe and prosper.

  2. وَلا تشهدِ الأَسبابَ وَاِترُك شُهودَها

    فَمَن شاهَدَ الأسبابَ لا شكَّ يَندَمِ

    And do not behold causes; abandon beholding them,

    For whoever beholds causes will surely regret it.

  3. وَمَن شاهَدَ الأسبابَ إيفَ بَصيرةً

    تَرى غَير مَوجودٍ وَغَيرَ مُسلّمِ

    And whoever beholds causes has his insight impaired,

    Seeing what neither exists nor is established,

  4. كَطرفٍ مَؤوفٍ قَد يَرى غَيرَ كائِنٍ

    وَما لَيسَ مَوجوداً لمَحضِ تَوهُّمِ

    Like an afflicted eye that may see what is not there,

    And what does not exist, through sheer delusion.

  5. وَشاهِد أَخا الإِدراكِ مُوجِدَها الّذي

    تَقَدَّسَ تَعلمْ صِدقَ قَولي وَتَفهَمِ

    And behold, O brother of discernment, their Maker, who

    Is all-holy; you will know the truth of my words and understand.

  6. أَلَم تَكُنِ الأَسبابُ مَخلوقَةً لَهُ

    وَهَل خالِقٌ غَيرُ العَليمِ المُعَظَّمِ

    Were not the causes created by Him?

    And is there a creator besides the All-Knowing, the Exalted?

  7. تَفَرّدَ أَفعالاً وَوَصفاً كَذاتِهِ

    فَلا مثلَ مَوجود بِوَهمٍ وَمزعَمِ

    He is unique in deeds and attributes, as in His essence;

    So no equal exists, even in imagination or supposition.

  8. حَكيم بِما قَد شاءَ يَقضي بِحُكمِهِ

    بِمَنعٍ وَإِعطاءٍ وَبُؤسٍ وَأَنعُمِ

    Wise in what He has willed, He rules by His decree,

    Through withholding and giving, hardship and blessings.

  9. وَلَيسَ بِمَسؤولٍ وَهَل سائِل لَهُ

    تَعالى أَلَيسَ اللَّهُ رَبّي بِأَحكَمِ

    And He is not answerable—is there anyone to question Him?

    Exalted is He! Is not God, my Lord, the wisest?

  10. وَكُن يا خَدينَ العَقلِ في الدَّهرِ راضِياً

    بِما فيكَ شاءَ اللَّه رَبّي وَسلّمِ

    And be, O companion of reason, content at all times

    With what God, my Lord, has willed concerning you—and submit.

  11. فَإِن مَسَّكَ المَولَى بِخَيرٍ لَه اِشكُرَنْ

    وَإِن كانَ في ضُرٍّ فَلا تَتَبرَّمِ

    So if the Master touches you with good, be sure to thank Him;

    And if it is affliction, do not complain.

  12. فَكَم أَعقَبَ البأساءَ سرّاءُ يا فتى

    وَكَم جاءَ بَعدَ البُؤس نُعمى لِمعدمِ

    For how often has joy followed adversity, young man!

    And how often has prosperity come after misery to one in want!

  13. وَكَم جاءَ بَعدَ الصّبرِ نِعم لِصابِرٍ

    وَكَم جاءَ بَعدَ العُسرِ يُسرٌ بِمَغنَمِ

    And how often have blessings come after patience to one who endures!

    And how often has ease come after hardship, bringing gain!

  14. وَما زالَ لُطفُ اللَّهِ جَلَّ جَلالَهُ

    تحفُّ بِه في كلّ وَقتٍ وموسمِ

    And God's kindness—exalted be His majesty—has never ceased

    To surround him at every time and season.

  15. وَصَلّى إِلهُ العَرشِ ربّي مُسلِّماً

    عَلى خَيرِ رُسْلِ اللَّهِ طهَ المفخَّمِ

    And may the God of the Throne, my Lord, send blessings and peace

    Upon the best of God's messengers, Taha the exalted,

  16. وَآلٍ وَأَصحابٍ مَدى الدَّهرِ وَالدُّنى

    وَما أَبدَتِ الأَطيارُ حُسنَ تَرنُّمِ

    And his family and companions, for all time and all worlds,

    And as long as birds reveal the beauty of their song.
