شَمِتَ العَدُوُّ ولم يَعُد مَا فَاتَا
And if you grieve over what is lost,
When you grieve for what is past and gone
The enemy gloats, and what is gone does not return.
The enemy rejoices, but time will not restore the vanished days.

فالبس لباسَ الصبَّر عند مُلمَّةٍ
واقنعand be content بماwith what أَعطىgave الإلهُGod وآتىand bestowed
واقنع بما أَعطى الإلهُ وآتى
So put on the garment of patience when calamity strikes,
So don when misfortune strikes the garment of patience,
And be content with what God has given and bestowed.
And be content with what God has given and brought to you.
