الدَهرُ حالانِ هَمٌّ بَعدَهُ فَرَجٌ

وَفَرجَةٌ بَعدَها هَمٌّ بِتَعذيبِ

Time has two states, worry then relief

And relief is followed by worry in torment

فَإِنَّ حَمدكَ مَن لَم تَبلُهُ صَلَفٌ

وَإِنَّ ذَمَّكَ بَعدَ الحَمد تَكذيبُ

For praising You is by one not touched by affliction

And blaming You after praise is denial
