ضاقت بي الدنيا ونت يارب تعلم
The world has become narrow for me, and You, Lord, know
كم لي في الدنيا هواجيس وحلام
Kam lī fī ad-dunyā hawājīs wa aḥlām
How many worries and dreams I have in this world
وكل ماشديت حزمي قرب الهم يلتم
Wa kullamā shaddadtu ḥazmī qaruba al-hamm yaltamm
And every time I tighten my resolve, sorrow gathers near
وحلام في ليلي تراودني برتتبت مقدم
Wa aḥlām fī laylī turāwidunī bi-tartīb muqaddam
And dreams in my night haunt me, arranged in advance
أمشي وصدري من عنا الوقت مُفعم
I walk, and my chest is filled with the weariness of time
والصبر في جوفي مثل جمرةٍ لم
Wa aṣ-ṣabr fī jawfī mithlu jamratin lam
And patience within me is like an unextinguished ember
لكن أقول يا نفس بالله تلملم
Lākin aqūl yā nafs bi-Allāh talamlam
But I say, 'O soul, by God, compose yourself'
ما بعد ليل الهم إلا فجر يتبسم
For after the night of sorrow, there is only a smiling dawn
ربٍي كريمٍ عالمٍ بالحالي أكرم
My Lord is Generous, All-Knowing of my state, Most Gracious
يفرج هموم القلب لو ضاق وتألم
Yufarrij humūm al-qalb law ḍāqa wa ta'allam
He relieves the heart's worries, even if it is distressed and in pain
Lines explained
“وكل ماشديت حزمي قرب الهم يلتم”
Wa kullamā shaddadtu ḥazmī qaruba al-hamm yaltamm
And every time I tighten my resolve, sorrow gathers near
The phrase 'tighten my resolve' (شديت حزمي) is an idiom meaning to prepare oneself for a challenge or to be determined. The line expresses a paradox where determination is met with more sorrow.
“والصبر في جوفي مثل جمرةٍ لم”
Wa aṣ-ṣabr fī jawfī mithlu jamratin lam
And patience within me is like an unextinguished ember
Patience being 'like an unextinguished ember' (جمرةٍ لم) vividly portrays enduring pain or difficulty. It suggests that patience is a burning, persistent force within, not yet consumed or extinguished.
“ما بعد ليل الهم إلا فجر يتبسم”
For after the night of sorrow, there is only a smiling dawn
This line offers a powerful message of hope, stating that just as night gives way to day, sorrow will eventually be replaced by joy or relief. 'Smiling dawn' (فجر يتبسم) personifies the coming of a better time.
