وَمَولىً رَفَدتُ النُصحَ حَتّى يَرُدَّهُ

وَمَولىً رَفَدتُ النُصحَ حَتّى يَرُدَّهُ

عَلَيَّ وَحَتّى يَعذِرَ الرَأيَ عاذِرُه

عَلَيَّ وَحَتّى يَعذِرَ الرَأيَ عاذِرُه

And to a kinsman I gave counsel until he turned it

I have given sincere advice to my patron

Back upon me, and until its defender justified the counsel.

Until he rejects it and finds fault with my view

إِذا كانَ لا يُرضى بِرَأيِكَ صَدرُهُ

إِذا كانَ لا يُرضى بِرَأيِكَ صَدرُهُ

وَلا أَنتَ إِن لَم يَرضَ رَأيَكَ قاسِرُه

وَلا أَنتَ إِن لَم يَرضَ رَأيَكَ قاسِرُه

If his heart is not satisfied with your counsel,

If he is not pleased with your opinion in his chest

And you cannot force him if he will not accept your counsel,

And you are not broken if he rejects your view

فَصَبرٌ جَميلٌ إِنَّ في اليَأسِ راحَةً

فَصَبرٌ جَميلٌ إِنَّ في اليَأسِ راحَةً

إِذا الغَيثُ لَم يُمطِر بِلادَكَ ماطِرُه

إِذا الغَيثُ لَم يُمطِر بِلادَكَ ماطِرُه

Then gracious patience—for in giving up hope there is relief,

So beautiful patience - in despair there is comfort

If the rain-bearing cloud does not shower your land.

When rain does not fall on your land from its rain clouds
