1. My tears do not respond to misfortunes,
And if not for that, they would gush in streams.

2. Be content with the decree of your Lord, for it is decisive,
And do not let any incident make you frown.

3. Do not blame Venus or Mars for it,
Nor blame the One who created the stars.

4. I do not say that the meteors one day
Were created as missiles for Muhammad’s mission.

5. Restrain your bitterness within you and do not get accustomed
To harsh and offensive speech.
