نَوَّلَ العَافِينَ مَا شَاءَ القَدَرْ

نَوَّلَ العَافِينَ مَا شَاءَ القَدَرْ

وَالقَضَا مَحْتُومْ

He granted those seeking bounty whatever fate willed;

The fate of those who chose to flee was decreed

And destiny is inevitable.

By destiny's immutable force.

وَسَقَى العَاصِينَ في كَأسِ الضَّرَرْ

وَسَقَى العَاصِينَ في كَأسِ الضَّرَرْ

عَلْقَماً مَسْمُومْ

عَلْقَماً مَسْمُومْ

And made the disobedient drink from the cup of harm

And those who disobeyed were made to bleed

Poisoned colocynth.

From cups of poison without recourse.
