1. لعلَّ صُروفَ النفسِ صحَّ عليلُها

    وزالت مَساويها وزاحت همُومُها

    Perhaps, amid the soul’s vicissitudes, its ailing self has recovered,

    And its faults have vanished and its worries have receded,

  2. وعلَّ ليالي البُؤس كفَّ ظلامُها

    وأَشرقَ فيها بدرُها ونُجومُها

    And perhaps the darkness of the nights of misery has ceased,

    And their full moon and stars have shone within them.
