قَناعَةُ المَرءِ بِما عِندَهُ

قَناعَةُ المَرءِ بِما عِندَهُ

مَملَكَةٌ ما مِثلُها مَملَكَه

مَملَكَةٌ ما مِثلُها مَملَكَه

A person's contentment with what he has

A man's contentment with what he possesses

is a kingdom that no other kingdom can match.

Is a kingdom with no equal

فَاِرضوا بِما جاءَ عَفواً وَلا

فَاِرضوا بِما جاءَ عَفواً وَلا

تُلقوا بِأَيديكُم إِلى التَهلُكَه

تُلقوا بِأَيديكُم إِلى التَهلُكَه

So be content with what comes without effort, and do not

So be satisfied with what comes freely

cast yourselves by your own hands into destruction.

And cast not yourselves into ruin
