ثق بالإِلهِ فإنَّهُ
للواثقين به قريب
Trust in God, for He
is near to those who trust in Him.
ودَع العبيدَ فمُنتَهى
إحسانهم ظَنٌّ يَخِيب
And leave the servants be, for the utmost
of their kindness is an expectation that fails.
إن تنج من مكروههم
لم تنج من لمز المغيب
If you escape their harm,
you do not escape disparagement in your absence.
لاَحَ الصَّوابُ وإنما
أسفي على الرأي المعيب
The right course has become clear, and only
the flawed judgment is what I regret.
Sol 6.1
