Ilzam bab rabbik
الزم باب ربك
Arabic text
الْزَمْ بَابَ رَبِّكْ وَاتْرُكْ كُلَّ دُونْ
وَاسْأَلْهُ السَّلَامَةْ مِنْ دَارِ الْفُتُونْ
لَا يَضِيْقُ صَدْرُكْ فَالْحَادِثْ يَهُونْ
اللّهُ الْمُقَدِّرْ والْعَالَمْ شُؤُونْ
لَا يَكْثُرُ هَمُّكْ مَا قُدِّرْ يَكُونْ
فِكرَكْ وَاخْتِيَارَكْ دَعْهُمَا وَرَاكْ
والتَّدْبِيرَ أَيْضًا وَاشْهَدْ مَنْ بَرَاكْ
مَوْلَاكَ الْمُهَيْمِنْ إِنَّــــــهُ يَــــــــــــــــرَاكْ
فَوِّضْ لُهْ أُمُورَكْ وَاحْسِنْ فِي الظُّنُونْ
لَا يَكْثُرُ هَمُّكْ مَا قُدِّرْ يَكُونْ
لَوْ وَلِمْ وَكَيْفَ قَوْلُ ذِي الْحَمَقْ
يَعْتَرِضْ عَلَى اللّهِ الَّــذِي خَـــلَقْ
وَقَضَى وَقَدَّرْ كُلَّ شَيْ بِحَقْ
يَا قَلبِي تَنَبَّهْ وَاتْرُكِ المُجُونْ
لَا يَكْثُرُ هَمُّكْ مَا قُدِّرْ يَكُونْ
قَدْ ضَمِنْ تَعَالَى بِالرِّزْقِ القَوَامْ
فِي الْكِتَابِ الْمُنْزَلْ نُــورًا لِلْأَنَــــامْ
فَالرِّضَا فَرِيْضَةْ وَالسَّخَطْ حَرَامْ
وَالقُنُوعْ رَاحَةْ وَالطَّمَعْ جُنُونْ
لَا يَكْثُرُ هَمُّكْ مَا قُدِّرْ يَكُونْ
أَنْتَ وَالْخَلَائِقْ كُلُّهُمْ عَبِيدْ
وَالْإِلَـٰهُ فِينَا يَفْعَلْ مَا يُرِيدْ
هَمُّكْ وَاغْتِمَامُكْ وَيْحَكْ مَا يُفِيدْ
الْقَضَاء تَقَدَّمْ فَاغْنَمِ السُّكُونْ
لَا يَكْثُرُ هَمُّكْ مَا قُدِّرْ يَكُونْ
الَّذِي لِغَيْرِكْ لَا يَصِلْ إِلَيكْ
وَالَّذِي قُسِمْ لَكْ حَاصِلٌ لَدَيْكْ
فَاشْتَغِلْ بِرَبِّكْ وَالَّذِي عَلَيْكْ
فِي فَرْضِ الْحَقِيْقَةْ وَالشَّرْعِ الْمَصُونْ
لَا يَكْثُرُ هَمُّكْ مَا قُدِّرْ يَكُونْ
شَرْعِ الْمُصْطَفَى الهَادِي الْبَشِيرْ
خَتْمِ الْأَنْبِيَاء البَدْرِ المُنِيرْ
صَلَّى اللّهُ عَلَيهِ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرْ
مَا رِيْحُ الصَّبَا مَالَتْ بِالْغُصُونْ
لَا يَكْثُرُ هَمُّكْ مَا قُدِّرْ يَكُونْ

English translation
Hold fast to the door of your Lord and leave all else
and ask Him for safety from the abode of tribulations
do not feel constricted agony will eventually pass
Allah is The Decreer and this world is but His decree
do not worry too much that which is destined, will come to pass
your thoughts and your choice leave them behind you
and planning as well and look at who brought you in this world
it is your Lord, the Protector for verily He Sees you
leave your affairs in His care and have a good opinion of your Lord
do not worry too much that which is destined, will come to pass
‘if’ and ‘why’ and ‘how’ are the questions, a fool asks
for he criticises Allah, He, who has created (everything)
and has Judged, and Decreed everything by His Infinite Justice
O my heart! take heed and leave this madness
do not worry too much that which is destined, will come to pass
Allāh has given assurance for the sustenance (of creation)
as said in His revealed book, a light for the worlds
it is obligatory to be pleased with Him and forbidden to be displeased with His decree
contentment is comfort and greed is madness
do not worry too much that which is destined, will come to pass
you and the entire creation are His slaves
and the Lord Almighty does as He pleases
your worry and trepidation (woe unto you!) is of no use
destiny has been preordained so, avail the blessing of calmness
do not worry too much that which is destined, will come to pass
that which is for others will never be yours
and that which is in your destiny will surely be yours
busy yourself in serving your Lord and in matters that you are responsible
in fulfilling the obligatory actions and dutifully following the sacred law
do not worry too much that which is destined, will come to pass
the way of the Chosen One the guide and the giver of glad tidings
the seal of prophets the dazzling shining full moon
blessings of Allāh the Lord, the All-Powerful be upon him
as long as the morning breeze sways the branches
do not worry too much that which is destined, will come to pass
