تَأسَّ ولا تَأْسَ مِنْ عَضَّةٍ
فَكَمْ لَكَ في مِثْلِها مَوْعِظَهْ
Take solace, and do not grieve over a bite;
for in its like there is many a lesson for you.
صُروفُ الزّمانِ إذَا أَسْرَعَتْ
إلى يَقِظٍ عَدَّها مُوقِظَهْ
When the vicissitudes of time hasten
toward one who is wakeful, he deems them an awakening.
Sol 6.1
