Perhaps destiny, when I dismissed my ambitions,

عسى المقادير إذ طلقت أطماعي

1. Perhaps destiny, when I dismissed my ambitions,
Will replace them with a youth who cares for my pains,

١. عَسى المَقاديرُ إِذ طَلَّقتُ أَطماعي
مُبَدِّلاتي فَتى تَعنيهِ أَوجاعي

2. One who, if I started a task, would stop me from it,
And take over from me, becoming himself the doer,

٢. مَن إِن سَعَيتُ رَأى سَعيي فَأَقعَدَني
وَقامَ عَنّي وَبي حَتّى هُوَ الساعي

3. I entrust my needs to the vastness of patience,
If a need is met by feet that stumble and slip.

٣. أَنوطُ حاجي بِرَحبِ البالِ واسِعِهِ
إِن يُنطَ حاجٌ بِواني الخَطوِ مِصلاعِ
