وإذا البشائرُ لم تَحِن أوقاتها

فلِحكمةٍ عندَ الإله تأخرتْ

And if tidings do not come at their times

For wisdom with God they are delayed

سيسُوقها في حينها فاصبرلها

حتى وإن ضاقتْ عليكَ وأقفَرتْ

He will bring them at their hour so wait for them

Even if they are constricted and barren for you

تجري دموع اليأسِ منكِ وربما

عند الصباحِ ترى البشائرَ أنورَتْ

The tears of despair flow from you, and perhaps

In the morning you will see the tidings illuminated

فغداً سيجري دمع عينكَ فرحةً

وترى السحائبَ بالأماني أمطرَتْ

So tomorrow your tears will flow in joy

And you will see the clouds with hopes rained

وترى ظُروفَ الأمسِ صارت بلسَماً

وهي التي أَعيَتْك حينَ تعسّرتْ

And you will see yesterday’s circumstances as balm

They wearied you when things were difficult

وتقولُ سبحانَ الذي رفعَ البلا

مِن بعد أن فُقد الرجاءُ تيسرتْ

And you will say, glory to He who lifted the affliction

After hope was lost, ease came
