وَمِن عادَةِ الأَيّامِ أَنَّ خُطوبَها

وَمِن عادَةِ الأَيّامِ أَنَّ خُطوبَها

إِذا سَرَّ مِنها جانِبٌ ساءَ جانِبُ

إِذا سَرَّ مِنها جانِبٌ ساءَ جانِبُ

And it is the way of days that, in their vicissitudes,

Among the habits of the days is that

when one side brings joy, another brings sorrow.

When one side is pleased, the other is saddened
