يا من يؤمل بالتمني راحة
من طول همّ مؤلم وعناء
O you who hope to find relief through wishful thinking
from prolonged anxiety, weariness, and suffering—
خل التمني فهو هم شاغل
ومن الدواء مهيج للداء
abandon wishful thinking: it is itself an engrossing care,
and a remedy that only aggravates the disease.
Sol 5.6
