لا تيأسَنَّ لعُسرَةٍ فوراءَها

يُسرانِ وَعداً ليسَ فيهِ خِلافُ

Do not despair at hardship, for beyond it

are two eases—a promise in which there is no breach.

كم عُسرةٍ قلِقَ الفَتى لنُزولِها

للهِ في إعسارِها ألطافُ

How many a hardship has made a young man anxious at its coming,

yet within the straitness it brings are God's subtle mercies.
