74.Then He commanded us that He might test our obedience
وَنَهَانَا لِيَبْتَلِيَ شُكْرَنَا فَخَالَفْنَا عَنْ طَرِيْقِ أمْرِهِ
wa nahaanaa leeab-taleea shuk-ranaa fakhaalaf-naa a'n t'areeqi am-rih

وَرَكِبْنا مُتُونَ زَجْرهِ ِ
wa rakib-naa mutoona zaj-rih
76.and mounted the backs of His warnings.
فَلَم يَبْتَدِرْنابِعُقُوبَتِه وَلَمْ يُعَاجِلْنَا بِنِقْمَتِهِ
falam yab-tadir-naa biu'qoobatih wa lam yua'ajil-naa binaqimatih

bal taan-naanaa birah'-matihee takar-rumaawa antaz'ara muraajaa'tanaa biraa-fatihee h'il-maa
78.No, He went slowly with us through His mercy, in generosity, and awaited our return through His clemency, in mildness.
وَالْحَمْدُ للهِ الَّذِي دَلَّنَاعَلَى التَّوْبَةِ
wal-h'am-du lil-laahil-lad'ee dal-lanaa a'laat-taw-bati

الَّتِي لَمْ نُفِدْهَا إلاّ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ،

falaw lam naa'-tadid min faz''-liheee
81.Had we nothing to count as His bounty
إلاّ بِهَالَقَدْ حَسُنَ بَلاؤُهُ عِنْدَنَا،

فَالْهَالِكُ مِنَّا مَنْ هَلَكَ عَلَيْهِ
fal-haaliku min-naa man halaka a'lay-h
92.So the perisher among us is he who perishes in spite of Him
وَ السَّعِيدُ مِنَّا مَنْرَغِبَ إلَيْهِ
was-sae'edu min-naa mar-raghiba ilay-h
93.and the felicitous among us he who beseeches Him.
وَ الْحَمْد للهِ بِكُلِّ مَا حَمِدَهُ بِهِ
wal-h'am-du lil-lahee bikul-li maa h'amidahoo bihee
