Conceal your cares with composure, and be steadfast.
Conceal your worries with composure and be patient,
Indeed, the noble person endures calamities.
Surely the honorable is patient with events,
كالشَّمعِlike a candle يُظهرُdisplays نورَهhis light مُتجَمِّلاًappearing composed
كالشَّمعِ يُظهرُ نورَه مُتجَمِّلاً
خوفَfor fear of الشَّماتِgloating وفيهand within him نارٌa fire تُسعَرُis kindled
خوفَ الشَّماتِ وفيه نارٌ تُسعَرُ
Like a candle, he displays his light with outward composure,
Like a candle showing its light with composure,
for fear of others' gloating, while a fire is kindled within him.
Fearing gloating though in it a fire rages.
