فإنfor if صبرتَyou are patient فإنّthen indeed الصبرَpatience مكرمةٌa noble virtue
فإن صبرتَ فإنّ الصبرَ مكرمةٌ
وإنand if جزَعتَyou give way to grief فقدthen already كانhappened الذيthat which كاناhappened
وإن جزَعتَ فقد كان الذي كانا
For if you endure, endurance is an honor;
For if you are patient, patience is a noble virtue;
and if you lose heart, what has happened has happened.”
And if you give way to grief, what has happened has already happened.
