ya rab tu ata kun za qanaat ganjam
yā rab tu 'atā kun za qanā'at ganjam
'umrest ki az hirs-o-havā dar ranjam
diiñ rā na-tavāñ kard ba-duniyā saudā
har lahza ba-ḳhud sūd-o-ziyāñ mī sanjam
O God, grant me the treasure of contentment,
It is long since I suffered from passion and greed.
( Indeed ) religion ( faith ) cannot be bargained with the world,
And every moment I think about its loss and gain.
ya rab tu 'ata kun za qana'at ganjam
'umrest ki az hirs-o-hawa dar ranjam
din ra na-tawan kard ba-duniya sauda
har lahza ba-KHud sud-o-ziyan mi sanjam
O God, grant me the treasure of contentment,
It is long since I suffered from passion and greed.
( Indeed ) religion ( faith ) cannot be bargained with the world,
And every moment I think about its loss and gain.
