Ḥizb al-Shakwā

حزب الشكوى

Clause 91 of 99 · The closing

وَلَا تَجْعَلْنِي مِمَّنْ ضَلَّ وَغَوَى وَلَا مِمَّنْ قُسِمَ لَهُ نَصِيبٌ مِنَ الشَّقَاءِ وَلَا مِمَّنِ اشْتَغَلَ بِمَا يَعْنِي وَلَا مِمَّنْ ضَلَّ سَعْيُهُ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَهُمْ يَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُمْ يُحْسِنُونَ صُنْعًا

Do not make me one of those who strayed and erred, nor one allotted a share of wretchedness, nor one busied with what [does not] concern him, nor one whose effort is lost in the life of this world while they think they are doing well.

Wa-lā tajʿalnī mimman ḍalla wa-ghawā wa-lā mimman qusima lahu naṣībun mina sh-shaqāʾi wa-lā mimmani shtaghala bi-mā yaʿnī wa-lā mimman ḍalla saʿyuhu fī l-ḥayāti d-dunyā wa-hum yaḥsabūna annahum yuḥsinūna ṣunʿā

    The print has «بما يعني» (with what concerns him); the sense and the saying «leave what does not concern you» suggest that «لا» has dropped out. We keep the print and bracket «does not» in the English.

    The last words are Qurʾān 18:104.
