تعزّى فؤادي ما على الدهر معتبا

تعزّى فؤادي ما على الدهر معتبا

وان تك قد قاسيت منه مصائبا

وان تك قد قاسيت منه مصائبا

Take solace, my heart; time is not to be reproached,

My heart finds solace though I blame fate naught,

And even if you have endured calamities from it.

Though I have suffered at its hands disasters fraught.
