And surrender to Him, and rely on Him.

Surrender to Him and rely on Him,

Never sit at the door of one

لا تَغتَرِرْ فيها لَديهْ

ignorantly relying on him,

Helplessly ignorant of him,

وَتَقول حاجاتي إِلَيهْ

and saying, ‘My needs depend on him;

Saying my needs are with him,

he obstructs them unless I placate him.’

If I don't flatter him.

أيَعوقُها يا ذا البَها

أيَعوقُها يا ذا البَها

لو شاءَ ربُّك قُربَها

لو شاءَ ربُّك قُربَها

Can he obstruct them, O splendid one,

How could he hinder them, O wise one,

if your Lord willed them within reach?

If your Lord willed, He would bring them near.

وَاللّهُ يَقضي صَعبَها

وَاللّهُ يَقضي صَعبَها

فَاِتركْ وَجانِب ربَّها

فَاِتركْ وَجانِب ربَّها

And God fulfills the difficult ones among them;

God fulfills the difficult ones,

so leave, and shun that house’s master.

So leave it and turn to its Lord,

تُقضى وَربُّ الدّارِ كارِهْ

تُقضى وَربُّ الدّارِ كارِهْ

They will be fulfilled, though the house’s master is unwilling.

It will be fulfilled though the house's Lord dislikes it.
