تَسليطُ أَعدائي عَلَيَّ لِنعمَةٌ

وَلَقَد سُرِرتُ فَإِنَّهُ تَمحيصُ

The unleashing of my enemies upon me is a blessing,

And I am gladdened, for it is a purification.

قَد كُنتُ أَحسَبُ أَنَّهُ لِي نَقمَةٌ

لَو أَنَّني وَحدي بِهِ مَخصوصُ

I had thought it was a vengeance upon me,

If I alone were singled out for it.
