وحسبك أن الروم رامت فشاهت

وحسبك أن الروم رامت فشاهت

سعادة ملك تاه في أمرها العقلُ

سعادة ملك تاه في أمرها العقلُ

And it is enough for you that the Romans tried and were disgraced—

It suffices you that Rome has harbored ambitions and perished,

A king's good fortune, at which reason was bewildered.

The fortune of a king got lost in its reasoning,

فإنك مهما رمت أمرا بلغته

فإنك مهما رمت أمرا بلغته

فابعده دانٍ وأصعبه سهلُ

فابعده دانٍ وأصعبه سهلُ

For whatever undertaking you seek, you attain it;

For however much you strive for a matter and attain it,

So its farthest reach is near, and its hardest part is easy.

Remove it from being close, for the most difficult is easy.
