تفاءل وانسَ همّكَ يا رفيقي

ففي الآمالِ مُتّسعٌ لنبقى

Be optimistic, my friend, and forget your worries

For in hope there is ample room for us to remain

خُلِقنا كي نرى الدّنيا جمالاً

ولم نُخلقْ لكي نأسى ونشقى

We were created to see the world’s beauty

And we were not created to grieve and suffer

فربّكَ حينَ يأذنُ بالعطايا

سيُرسِلها إليكَ تُساقُ سَوقا

For when your Lord decrees gifts

He will send them to you in droves

فكم مِن ظامئٍ عانى زماناً

أتاهُ الغيثُ مِن ربي ليُسقى

How many a thirsty soul suffered for so long

Until the rain from my Lord came to quench him

وكم حجبَ الأسى أحلامَ قلبٍ

فصارَت صورةُ الأحلامِ أنقى

And how much sorrow obscured the dreams of a heart

Yet the image of dreams became even purer

لَئِن أفنَيْتَ عُمركَ في عناءٍ

فثِق أنّ الهناء بما تبقّى ️

If you spent your life in toil and hardship

Trust that happiness awaits in what remains
