وَمَولىً رَفَدتُ النُصحَ حَتّى يَرُدَّهُ

عَلَيَّ وَحَتّى يَعذِرَ الرَأيَ عاذِرُه

I have given sincere advice to my patron

Until he rejects it and finds fault with my view

إِذا كانَ لا يُرضى بِرَأيِكَ صَدرُهُ

وَلا أَنتَ إِن لَم يَرضَ رَأيَكَ قاسِرُه

If he is not pleased with your opinion in his chest

And you are not broken if he rejects your view

فَصَبرٌ جَميلٌ إِنَّ في اليَأسِ راحَةً

إِذا الغَيثُ لَم يُمطِر بِلادَكَ ماطِرُه

So beautiful patience - in despair there is comfort

When rain does not fall on your land from its rain clouds
