Indeed, in poetry there is wisdom

I came across these consoling lines of poetry on a brother's status, so I thought I'd share :
The poet (Abu Yahya Zakariyyah As-Sawfi) writes:
‏ستلقى ما رجوتَ و ما ودِدتا
وليس يضيعُ من عملٍ بذلتا
You will realise your hopes and accomplish your goals
and the efforts you have put in will not go to waste
ولا تقنطْ وتتركَ قرعَ بابٍ
سيُفتحُ بابُه إنْ ما عجِلتا
Do not lose hope and stop knocking on the door
the door will be opened as long as you are not hasty
فكم ضاقتْ بك الأهوالُ ذَرعًا
ومفرجُها قريبٌ لو صبرتَا
How much difficulty you have endured
while the relief was near - had you been patient
وكم يرسو بقلبك حُبُّ أمرٍ
وبعد العسرِ يسرٌ إن وَثقِتا
And how much the love of a matter has taken over your heart
surely after difficulty there is ease if you truly believe
