which You hast followed in Your Book with Your oath
10
قَاطِعًا لِاهْتِمَامِنَا بِالرِّزْقِ الَّـذِيْ تَكَفَّلْتَ بِهِ
qāṭi`an lihtimāminā birrizqil ladhī takaffalta bih

waḥasman lil-ishtighāli bimā ḍamintal kifāyata lah

faqulta waqawlukal ḥaqqul aṣdaq
For You hast said - and Your word is the most truthful truth
13
وَأَقْسَمْتَ وَقَسَمُكَ الْاَبَرُّ الْاَوْفَى
wa-aqsamta waqasamukal abarrul awfā
and You hast sworn - and Your oath is the most kept and fulfilled
14
وَفِيْ السَّمَاءِ رِزْقُكُمْ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ
wafis samā-i rizqukum wamā tū`adūn
"In the heaven are your provision and everything you are promised" [51:22]!
15
ثُمَّ قُلْتَ فَوَرَبِّ السَّمَاءِ وَالْاَرْضِ إِنَّهُ لَحَقٌّ مِثْلَ مَا أَنَّكُمْ تَنْطِقُوْنَ
thumma qulta fawarabbis samā-i wal-ar-ḍi innahu laḥaqqun mithla mā annakum tanṭiqūn
And then You hast said, "So by the Lord of heaven and earth, it is as surely true as that you have speech" [51:23]!
