فقد المواسي في الشدائد والرخا
How many an expert has chronicled in the registers
How many an expert in ledgers found ease,
the loss of a supporter in hardship and ease!
Yet lost all solace in adversity.

محن تسيخ لها الجبال وما سخا
The one I placed my hopes in proved faithless when there came
Betrayed by the one whose hopes he inscribed,
trials that make mountains sink—and he showed no generosity.
When trials arrived that sapped mountains, unyielding.
