Fiú má chailleann tú gach aon ní

Even if you lose all you have

Foghlaim brí an rúin sin
Learn that secret which God revealed
A nocht Dia sa Chórán:
In the Holy Koran
Má dhéanann Sé sona nó míshona thú,
Whether it makes you happy or miserable
Má chuireann Sé uaigneas ort nó má thugann dóchas duit,
Whether it brings sadness or hope
Nó má chuireann arraing anama ort
Or anguish of the spirit
Bí foighneach: tá grásta óna Lámh
Be patient: grace flows from His Hand
Ag teacht chugat ina shlaoda
In great abundance.
An té a chuireann suas go foighneach leis an bpian
He who patiently endures the pain
A thagann ó Dhia
That comes from God
Is deimhneach go bhfuil neart - is fírinne -  an chreidimh
The strength - and the truth -  of faith
Ar an mbealach chuige.
Will shower upon him.
Is iontach an dea-scéala a fhaigheann an té atá foighneach,
Wonderful news awaits
Ríméad atá i ndán dó
The one who is patient.
Is den riachtanas é an grásta a aithint
How vital it is to recognise grace
Fiú nuair a lascann fíoch neimhe thú,
Even when lashed by heaven's fury.
Smaoinigh go suaimhneach Air i gcónaí,
Always think of Him serenely
Agus i gcónaí i gcónaí, is cuma cad a thiteann amach,
And whatever happens
Cloígh Leis le do chroí agus le d'anam.
Cleave to Him with all your heart and soul.

Sultan Valad 1240 – 1312
