تَعودُ الأمانِيُّ بعْدَ انْصِرافٍ

تَعودُ الأمانِيُّ بعْدَ انْصِرافٍ

ويعْتَدِلُ الشّيءُ بعْدَ انْحِرافِ

ويعْتَدِلُ الشّيءُ بعْدَ انْحِرافِ

Hopes return after departing,

Wishes return after their departure

And things come right after going awry.

And things straighten after their skewing

فإنْ كان دهْرُكَ يوْماً جَنى

فإنْ كان دهْرُكَ يوْماً جَنى

فقَدْ جاءَ ذا عجَلٍ واعْتِرافِ

فقَدْ جاءَ ذا عجَلٍ واعْتِرافِ

For if your fortune once did you wrong,

If your time once was harsh

Then it has come in haste, confessing.

Relief has now come hastening
