ومن خاف أن الهم يملك نفسه

ومن خاف أن الهم يملك نفسه

فأولى به ترك العلا والجسائم

فأولى به ترك العلا والجسائم

Whoever fears that care will master his soul

And whoever fears that worry will take possession of his soul,

Were better off forsaking glory and mighty deeds.

Would do better to forsake glory and great undertakings.
