إِن حالَفَ قَلبيَ الأَسى لا حَرَجا

إِن حالَفَ قَلبيَ الأَسى لا حَرَجا

ما الملقي رَحلَه كَمَن قَد دَرَجا

ما الملقي رَحلَه كَمَن قَد دَرَجا

If sorrow has allied itself with my heart, there is no blame.

One who sets down his pack is not like one who has passed on.

هَل أَثبَتَ في مَكانِهِ مِنهُ تَرى

هَل أَثبَتَ في مَكانِهِ مِنهُ تَرى

إِن ضاق بِهِ مَقامُهُ ما اِنزَعَجا

إِن ضاق بِهِ مَقامُهُ ما اِنزَعَجا

Do you see anyone more firmly fixed in his place than he?

Should his dwelling grow cramped around him, he would not stir.
