لَوْ كَانَ يَدْرِي الْفَتَى مَكْنُونَ مَا خَبَّأَتْ

لَوْ كَانَ يَدْرِي الْفَتَى مَكْنُونَ مَا خَبَّأَتْ

لَهُ الْمَقَادِيرُ لَمْ يَرْكَنْ إِلَى الْحَذَرِ

لَهُ الْمَقَادِيرُ لَمْ يَرْكَنْ إِلَى الْحَذَرِ

If the young man knew the secrets of what was concealed

If only the youth knew what fate has hidden for him

for him by the fates, he would not rely on caution.

He would not have leaned towards caution

وَلَوْ دَرَى أَنَّ مَا يَلْقَاهُ مِنْ عَنَتٍ

وَلَوْ دَرَى أَنَّ مَا يَلْقَاهُ مِنْ عَنَتٍ

مِنْ خَيْبَةِ الرَّأْيِ لَمْ يَعْتُبْ عَلَى الْقَدَرِ

مِنْ خَيْبَةِ الرَّأْيِ لَمْ يَعْتُبْ عَلَى الْقَدَرِ

And if he knew that the hardship he encounters

And if he knew that the distress he faces

comes from a failure of judgment, he would not blame fate.

Is from the failure of his own judgement, he would not blame fate
