1. أَصبَحتُ بَينَ الهُمومِ وَالهِمَم

    هُمومَ عَجزٍ وَهِمَّةَ الكَرَم

    I find myself between cares and aspirations:

    the cares of helplessness and the aspiration to generosity.

  2. طوبى لِمَن نالَ قَدرَ هِمَّتِه

    أَو نالَ عِزَّ القَنوعِ بِالقَسَم

    Blessed is whoever attains the measure of his aspiration,

    or gains the dignity of contentment with his allotted share.
