وَإِنّيand indeed I إِذاif اِستَغرَبتُI found strange يَوماًa day مِنَof الأَسىsorrow
وَإِنّي إِذا اِستَغرَبتُ يَوماً مِنَ الأَسى
فَماthen what لِيَwith me ماnot اِستَغرَبتُI found strange عاماًa year مِنَof الفَرَحjoy
فَما لِيَ ما اِستَغرَبتُ عاماً مِنَ الفَرَح
And if I find a day of sorrow strange,
then why did I not find a year of joy strange?
وَإِنّيand indeed I قَدindeed اِستَأثَرتُI took sole possession بِالعَيشِof life ماwhile صَفاit was untroubled
وَإِنّي قَد اِستَأثَرتُ بِالعَيشِ ما صَفا
وَإِنّيand indeed I قَدindeed اِستَمتَعتُI took pleasure بِالدَهرِin Time ماwhile صَلَحit was favorable
وَإِنّي قَد اِستَمتَعتُ بِالدَهرِ ما صَلَح
And I have indeed claimed life for myself while it was untroubled,
And I have indeed enjoyed Time while it was kind.
فَلاso do not تُشمِتَنَّever make gloat الدَهرَTime بِالدَمعِwith tears إِنif جَرىthey flow
فَلا تُشمِتَنَّ الدَهرَ بِالدَمعِ إِن جَرى
فَيَعلَمَso it would learn أَنَّthat الهَمَّgrief فيin القَلبِthe heart قَدindeed جَرَحhas wounded
فَيَعلَمَ أَنَّ الهَمَّ في القَلبِ قَد جَرَح
So never let tears, if they flow, make Time gloat,
lest it learn that grief has left a wound in the heart.
