Oh patience, do not entrust me to your restless desires, for I have come to your refuge with patience.
This profound couplet is a beautiful conversation with the self. The speaker is addressing 'Sabr' (Patience), pleading with it not to let his inherent restlessness (betabiyan) drift away. Because he has finally found shelter and solace within the discipline of patience, he asks it to hold him steady. It’s a reminder that true emotional stability isn't found externally, but through the quiet strength of endurance.
