1. الصَبرُ عَمَّن تُحِبُّهُ صَبَرُ

    وَنَفعُ مَن لامَ في الهَوى ضَرَرُ

    Enduring separation from the one you love is bitter aloe;

    and the benefit of one who reproaches you for love is harm.

  2. مَن كانَ دونَ المَرامِ مُصطَبِراً

    فَلَستُ دونَ المَرامِ أَصطَبِرُ

    If anyone patiently endures short of his goal,

    I will not patiently endure short of mine.

  3. مَنفَعَةُ الصَبرِ غَيرُ عاجِلَةٍ

    وَرُبَّما حالَ دونَها الغِيَرُ

    The benefit of patience is not immediate,

    and changing fortunes may stand in its way.

  4. فَقُم بِنا نَلتَمِس مَآرِبَنا

    أَقامَ أَو لَم يُقَم بِنا القَدرُ

    So rise with us; let us seek our desires,

    whether fate stands by us or not.

  5. إِنَّ لَنا أَنفُساً تُسَوِّدُنا

    أَعانَهُنَ الزَمانُ أَو يَذَرُ

    Indeed, we have souls that make us masters,

    whether time aids them or leaves them unaided.

  6. وَاِبغِ مِنَ العَيشِ ما تُسَرُّ بِهِ

    إِن عَذَلَ الناسُ فيهِ أَو عَذَروا

    And seek from life whatever brings you joy,

    whether people blame you for it or excuse you.
