1. Whoever precedes harm with patience
Attains the merit of praise and reward
١. مَن سَبَقَ السَلوَةَ بِالصَبرِ
فازَ بَفَضلِ الحَمدِ وَالأَجرِ
2. It is strange, the fright of one in dread
Waking amid blame and burden
٢. يا عَجَباً مِن هَلِعٍ جازِعٍ
يُصبِحُ بَينَ الذَمِّ وَالوِزرِ
3. The misfortune of a man in his faith
Is greater than the disasters of fate
٣. مُصيبَةُ الإِنسانِ في دينِهِ
أَعظَمُ مِن جائِحَةِ الدَهرِ
