كن عن همومك معرضا *** وكِل الأمور إلى القضا
وابشر بخير عاجلا *** تنسى به ماقد مضـــى
فلربَّ أمرٍ مُسخـط *** لك في عواقبه رضى
ولربما ضاق المضيق *** ولربما اتسع الفضا
الله يفعل ما يشاء *** فلا تكوننًّ معترضا
الله عودك الجميل *** فقس على ماقد مضى
“Turn away from your worries,
And entrust your affairs to the Decree.
Rejoice at the good which will soon be,
You will then forget what has gone by.
Perhaps an issue which upsets you,
Holds at its end what will gladden you.
Perhaps the tight road will constrict moreso,
And perhaps the universe will expand even more.
Indeed Allah does what He wishes,
So never be one who opposes (Him).
Allah is your beautiful source of strength,
So determine things by what has elapsed…”
– Safi al-Din al-Hali (an Arab poet)
I agree so much with this. Some of the most upsetting events in my life have led to me becoming the person I am . Without a friend letting me down i would have never started writing poetry as i do now, without my mum falling ill my love of Quran may have never blossomed ( Allahu a’lam) And it is the awareness that Allah has decreed all things which aids us in our patience Al-hamdulilah.

Sorry brothers and sisters, a few corrections have been made to the translation! This is a better rendition:
