I kept company with Amr for a time, then said to him:
For long years we were companions, then I said:
Join your people, O Amr son of Suhan.
"Go join your people, 'Amr son of Suhân!"
فإنfor if صبرتَyou are patient فإنّthen surely الصبرَpatience مكرمةٌa noble virtue
فإن صبرتَ فإنّ الصبرَ مكرمةٌ
وإنand if جزَعتَyou give way to grief فقدthen already كانhas happened الذيwhat كاناhappened
وإن جزَعتَ فقد كان الذي كانا
For if you are patient, then surely patience is a noble virtue;
If you are patient, patience is a virtue,
And if you give way to grief, what has happened has already happened.
And if you grieve, what happened had to be.
