Do not let negligence carry you away as you wait
Don't let impatience make you act rashly
too long in deliberation, nor let haste set its hopes on you.
Nor let procrastination make you hesitate too long.

فَقَد يَزيدُ السُؤالُ المَرءَ تَجرِبَةً

For questioning may increase a person's experience,
Often questioning increases one's experience
and whoever asks finds comfort in the news.
And one who asks is relieved by answers.
