1. كَم قَد تَجَرّعتُ من غَيظ وَمن حَزَن

    إِذا تَجَدّد حُزن هَوّنَ الماضي

    How much rage and sorrow I have swallowed!

    Whenever a new sorrow arose, it made the past seem lighter.

  2. وَكَم غَضِبتُ فَما بِاليُتم غَضَبي

    حَتّى رَجَعتُ بِقَلب ساخِط راضِ

    And how often I grew angry, yet you paid no heed to my anger,

    Until I returned with a heart resentful yet content.
