خُذي قلبي إليك فقلِّبيه

Take my heart to you, then turn it over;
Take my heart into yours and turn it about,
You will see no place for patience in it.
You will see no place in it for patience.
وهلand is there? للصبرِfor patience منزلةًa place بقلبيin my heart
وهل للصبرِ منزلةً بقلبي
بأسهمهاwith their arrows النوائبُcalamities تدَّريهstalk it
بأسهمها النوائبُ تدَّريه
And is there a place for patience in my heart,
And what place has patience in my heart
While calamities stalk it with their arrows?
When misfortunes pierce it with their arrows?
