1. I endured deprivation when pleasures went away
And I made my soul get used to patience so it persisted
١. صَبَرتُ عَنِ اللَذاتِ لَمّا تَوَلَّتِ
وَأَلزَمتُ نَفسي صَبرَها فَاِستَمَرَّتِ
2. A man is only where he puts himself
If it aspires it yearns, otherwise it settles
٢. وَما المَرءُ إِلّا حَيثُ يَجعَلُ نَفسَهُ
فَإِن طَمِعَت تاقَت وَإِلّا تَسَلَّتِ
