He who bears high hopes is doomed to disappointment when events turn out otherwise.

خاب من التوفيق لما احتمل

1. He who bears high hopes is doomed to disappointment when events turn out otherwise.
Bent upon having his way, he makes a stubborn effort to reach his goal.

١. خابَ من التَّوفيق لَمَّا احتَمَل
مُحالِفاً إدلاجَهُ والعَمَل

2. Like a camel driven by its mother's yearning for home, he hurries homeward.
Yet no laden camel ever reached its journey's end if the path misled.

٢. هوَى إلى البَيتِ هوَت أُمُّهُ
لسُمعَةٍ أَنضى عَلَيها الجَمَل

٣. يَشقى بهِ الحامِلُ لكنّهُ
أَشقى مِنَ الحامِلِ مَن قَد حَمَل

٤. لَم تَبلُغِ البَيتَ خُطا بالِغٍ
أَخلَفَهُ فيهِ بُلوغُ الأَمَل
