1. Do not despair when you are afflicted with hardship,
For troubles do not stay in one place.
١. لا تجزعنَّ إذا بليت بشدة
إن الشدائد لا يدوم مقامها
2. How often has the youth slept despite their occurrence,
They did not arise until their days had passed.
٢. كم شدة نام الفتى لورودها
ما هب حت أدبرت أيامها
3. So be patient with the turns of time, for they
Will pass, and their coldness and peace remain.
٣. فاصبر على نوب الزمان فإنها
تمضي ويبقى بردها وسلامها
