وَلا بُدَّ مِن شَكوى إِلى ذي مُروءَةٍ

وَلا بُدَّ مِن شَكوى إِلى ذي مُروءَةٍ

يُواسيكَ أَو يُسليكَ أَو يَتَوَجَّعُ

يُواسيكَ أَو يُسليكَ أَو يَتَوَجَّعُ

There is no avoiding pouring out one’s grief to someone of noble character—

And you must confide your troubles to someone of noble character,

one who consoles you, or distracts you from sorrow, or shares your pain.

who comforts you, or eases your sorrow, or shares your pain.
