ولا حول إلّا في حلول مصائبِ
So there is no prudence save through the coming of experience,
No wisdom but in tested ways,
And no strength save through the onset of calamities.
No power but in calamities.

They shot their shafts at me, struck me dead, then missed.
Its missiles against me were thrown, so I missed them;
So how wondrous: shafts that miss yet strike true!
Yet wonder at mistakes that turn to successes!
