| صَدِيقٌ لَيْسَ يَنْفَعُ يَوْمَ بُؤْسٍ * قَرِيبٌ مِنْ عَدْوٍّ فِي القِيَاسِ وَمَا يَبْقَى الصَّدِيقُ بِكُلِّ عَصْرٍ * وَلاَ الإِخْوَانُ إِلاَّ لِلتَّآسِي عَبَرْتُ الدَّهْرَ مُلْتَمِسَاً بِجُهْدِي * أَخَا ثِقَةٍ فَأَلْهَانِي التِمَاسِي تَنَكَّرَتِ البِلاَدُ وَمَنْ عَلَيْهَا * كَأَنَّ أُنَاسَهَا لَيْسُوا بِنَاسِ
A friend who does not benefit at the time of hardships, Is close to an enemy on the scales, The friend does not remain, during all times, Nor does the brother, except for consolation. I searched the days, with all my strengths for a brother to trust, but my search was fruitless, The lands and those who live them were barren, As though its people were not people [I wanted them to be] | |

| بِقَدْرِ الكَدِّ تُكْتَسَبُ المَعَالِي * وَمَنْ طَلَبَ العُلاَ سَهِرَ اللَّيالِي وَمَنْ رَامَ العُلاَ مِنْ غَيْرِ كَدٍّ * أَضَاعَ العُمْرَ فِي طَلَبِ المُحَالِ تَرُومُ العِزَّ ثُمَّ تَنَامُ لَيْلاً * يَغُوصُ البَحْر مَنْ طَلَبِ اللآلِي | |

| إِذَا الْمَرْءُ أَفْشَى سِرِّهُ بِلِسَانِهِ * وَلاَمَ عَلَيْهِ غَيْرَهُ فَهُوَ أَحْمَقُ إِذَا ضَاقَ صَدْرُ المَرْءِ عَنْ سِرِّ نَفْسِهِ * فَصَدْرُ الَّذِي يُسْتَودْعُ السِّرَّ أَضْيَقُ
If a man spreads his secret with his own tongue and blames another... then he is a fool. If his own breast is too narrow to conceal his own secret, Then the breast of the one in whom he places it is even narrower. | |

| Part from the days where you used to do as you wish And restrain your soul when the decree of Allah is ordained And don't despair over the events of the past For none of the events of the dunya were ever meant to remain And be a man who is firm upon his affairs And whose character is that of pardoning and nobility And there is no sadness or happiness that is continuous Just as there is there is no comfort or pain If you are a person who is satisfied with what he has Then you and the owner of all possessions are equal And upon he who's open valley death descends upon Then there is no earth or sky to protect you from it And the earth of Allah is vast but When the ordainment of Allah descends even the open valley congests.

| Imaam Shafi'ee Rahimahullah
وَلَمّا قَسا قَلبي وَضاقَـت مَذاهِبـي When My Heart Was Hardened & My Courses Constrained
جَعَلتُ الرَّجا مِنّي لِعَفـوِكَ سُلمـا I Made My Hope A Stairway To Your Forgiveness
تَعاظَمَنـي ذَنبـي فَلَمّـا قَرَنُـتـهُ My Sin Burdened Me Heavily, But When I Measured It
بِعَفوِكَ رَبّي كَانَ عَفـوُكَ أَعظَمـا By Your Forgiveness Lord, Your Forgiveness Was Greater | |

| و من الشَقاوة أن تحبَ و من تحبُ يحبُ غيرك أو أن تريد الخير للأن سان و هو يريد ضيرك
"And from misery is that you love, and (the one) who you love, loves other than you, or that you want good for a person, and he wants to hurt you". | |

| شكوت إلى وكيع سوء حفظي** فأرشدني إلى ترك المعاصي وقــال إن علم الله نـــــــورٌ ** ونور الله لا يعطى لعاصي
Shakawtu Ilaa Wakee` Soo'a Hifdhee -- Fa-arshadanee Ilaa Tark al-Ma`aasee Wa Qaala Inna `Ilma Allaahi Noorun -- Wa Nooru Allaahi La Yu`taa Li `Aasee
“I complained to Wakee` about my bad memory, and he taught me that I should keep away from sin. He said that knowledge of Allaah is light, and the light of Allaah is not given to the sinner.” | |

| ولما قسا قلبي وضاقت مذاهبي *** جعلت الرجا مني لعفوك سلما تعاظمني ذنبي فلما قرنته *** بعفوك ربي كان عفوك أعظما فما زلت ذا عفو عن الذنب لم تزل *** تجود وتعفو منة وتكرمــا | |

| الدهر يومان ذا أمن وذا خطر *** والعيش عيشان ذا صفو وذا كدر أما ترى البحر تعلو فوقه جيف *** وتستقر بأقـصى قـاعه الدرر وفي السماء نجوم لا عداد لها *** وليس يكسف الا الشمس والقمر | |

He increases in stupidity and I increase in patience, like aloes wood* increased in scent by burning.” | |

| الحض على الترحال
ما في المقام لذي عقلٍ وذي أدبٍ----------من راحة فدع الأوطان واغترب
سافر تجد عوضاً عمن تفارقه----------وانصب فإن لذيذ العيش في النصب
إني رأيت وقوف الماء يفسده----------إن ساح طاب وإن لم يجر لم يطب
والأسد لولا فراق الأرض ما افترست----------والسهم لولا فراق القوس لم يصب
والشمس لو وقفت في الفلك دائمة ً----------لملها الناس من عجم ومن عرب
والتبر كالترب ملقي في أماكنه----------والعود في أرضه نوع من الخطب
فإن تغرب هذا عز مطلبه----------وإن تغرب ذلك عز كالذهب
There is no peace of mind for the one with intellect and sophistication in remaining stationary - so leave homelands and and go to foreign fields,
Travel! You will find a replacement for what you have left. Crash out! The sweetness of life is in crashing out,
I have seen that standing water stagnates, if it flows it nourishes, and if it doesn't run, it doesn't nourish,
If the lion doesn't leave his den he can't hunt, and if the arrow doesn't leave the bow it won't strike,
If the sun stood still in its course then people, Arab and non-Arab, would become bored,
Gold dust is as the earth thrown in its places, and oud is a type of firewood in its ground,
If one travels this, his ambition is honoured. If one travels this, he is honoured like gold | |

| لمن نعطي رأينا
ولا تعطين الرأي من لايريده
فلا أنت محمود ولا الرأي نافعه
To the one we give our opinions
And do not give your opinion to one who does not want it For you are not praiseworthy and the opinion will not benefit him | |

| فضل السكوت
وجدت سـكوتي متجرا فلزمتــه *** إذا لم أجد ربحا فلست بخاسر
وما الصمت إلا في الرجال متاجر *** وتاجره يعلو على كل تاجــر
Virtue of Silence
I found my silence to be a transaction so I adhered to it If I don’t find a profit, then I am not a loser And silence in men is not but a transaction And its trader is elevated above every other trader | |

| أبواب الملوك
إن الملوك بـلاء حيثما خـلـوا *** فلا يكن لك في ابوابهم ظــل
ماذا تؤمل من قوم إذا غضبـوا *** جاروا عليك وإن أرضيتهم ملوا
فاستعن بالله عن ابوابهم كرمـا *** إن الوقوف على أبوابهــم ذل
Doors of the Kings
Truly the Kings are a tribulation wherever they withdraw to So don’t let there be a shade for you at their doors What can be hoped from a people that if they are angry they oppress you and if you please them they become bored? So seek help with Allaah most kindly from their doors Truly standing at their doors is a humiliation | |

| لسانك لا تذكر به عورة امرئ *** فكلّـك عورات وللناس ألسـن
وعينك إن أبدت إليك معايباً *** فدعها وقل : يا عين للناس أعينُ
Let not your tongue mention the shame of another For you yourself are covered in shame and all men have tongues. If your eye falls upon the sins of your brother Shield them and say: "O my eye! All men have eyes!" | |

| المثل الأعلى
إن الفقيـه هو الفقيـه بفعلـه *** ليس الفقيه بنطقه ومقالـه وكذا الرئيس هو الرئيس بخلقه *** ليس الرئيس بقومه ورجاله وكذا الغني هو الغني بحالــه *** ليس الغني بملكه وبمالــه
The Highest Example
Truly the Faqih is a Faqih because of his actions Not because of his articulated speech or saying And likewise a leader is a leader because of his nature Not because of his nation or his men And likewise a rich man is a rich man due to his state And not due to his possessions or wealth | |

| من ذا الذي قد نال راحة سره * في عسره إن كان أو في يسره فأخو التجارة خـائف مترقب * مما يلاقي من خسارة أمره وأخو الوزارة حـائر متفـكر * مما يقاسي من نوائب دهره وكذلك السلطـان في أحكامه * رهن الهموم على جلالة قدره ولقد حسدت الطير في أوكاره * فوجدت أكثر ما يصاد بوكره تالله لو عـاش الفتى من دهره * ألفا من الأعوام مالك أمره متلـذذا فيهـا بكل مليـحة * متنعما فيها بنعمى عصره لا يعتريـه السقـم فيها مرة * أبدا ولا تطرا الهموم بفكره وصفت له الأيـام حتى إنـه * لا تنطق الأصوات عند مقره ما كان ذلك كلـه ممـا يفي * بمبيت أول ليلة في قبره
Who has found true peace of mind In better, or perhaps in worse? The businessman is worn with fear Of loss in his commerce The statesman lives in fretful dread Of times and tides adverse The potentate, for all his power In thrall to angst and fears For after every glad report Comes news that rocks his piers I’d envy the birds, but the nest, I found Is oft where the kill occurs By Allah, if a man had to live, in control Of his life, for a thousand years Indulging in every beauty’s delight In a bliss that for life endures With never an illness obstructing his way And he never a worry incurs And tranquility reigns, and his days are serene And no noise ever reaches his ears— None of that would avail him the first night spent In the grave, when he ends his year | |
