1. Gentle your pace, o you who angered him
The days will show patience, you shall see him
١. رُويدَكَ يا مَن أغضبتْهُ هناتُهُ
تربَّصْ به الأيّامَ سوفَ تَراهُ
2. In his aims, he is but like one who extends
His palms to water, to wet his mouth
٢. فما هُوَ فيما رامَ إلا كباسطٍ
إلى الماءِ كفّيْهِ ليبلغَ فاهُ
