وكُمand how many فَرَحَةٍa joy منتوجةٍborn منfrom كآبةٍsorrow
وكُم فَرَحَةٍ منتوجةٍ من كآبةٍ
كَماjust as انَهلَّpoured down صَوبُrain المُزنِthe rain clouds عنfrom زَجَلِroar الرَّعْدِthe thunder
كَما انَهلَّ صَوبُ المُزنِ عن زَجَلِ الرَّعْدِ
And how many a joy is born of sorrow,
How much joy springs from melancholy,
Just as the clouds' rain pours down from thunder's roar.
As rain flows from thunder's rumbling.
Sol 6.1
