ألومُ قلبي على ضعفه

I blame my heart for its weakness

وأعاتبه على كثرةِ خطئي

I blame it for my many mistakes

وأقول له: إلى متى الغفلة؟

I say to it: how long will this heedlessness last?

ثم أرفعُ قلبي إلى الله

Then I raise my heart to Allah

وأرجو من الله أن يرحمني ويصلحني

Abū Farwah al-Zāhid reported:

A man appeared to him in a dream and said: “Do you not know that those who rely on Allah are the ones at ease?” He asked: “From what?” The man said: “From the worries of this world and the difficulty of accounting tomorrow.” Abū Farwah said: “By Allah, after that I no longer cared whether sustenance was delayed or hastened; whoever relies on Him, He suffices him and brings him good. Allah said: ﴿And whoever relies upon Allah, He is sufficient for him. Indeed, Allah will accomplish His purpose.﴾ [At-Talaq: 3]”

وَهَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَشْكُوَ الْهُمُومَ لِصَاحِبِي

I was about to complain of my worries to my companion,

فَذَكَرْتُ أَنَّكَ مِنْ وَرِيدِي أَقْرَبُ

then I remembered that You are closer to me than my jugular vein.

عَبْدٌ أَنَا وَالْحُزْنُ يَعْصِرُ خَافِقِي

I am a servant, and sorrow squeezes my heart,

ضَمِّدْ جِرَاحِي إِنَّنِي لَكَ أَهْرُبُ (الله)
