If the turning of the sky did not go our way for two days, the state of time does not stay the same forever; do not grieve.
دور گردون گر دو روزی بر مراد ما نرفت / دایما یکسان نباشد حال دوران غم مخور
Devr-i gerdûn ger dü rûzî ber murâd-ı mâ nereft / Dâimâ yeksân nebâşed hâl-i devrân gam mahor.
Hafez, Divan, ghazal 255, couplet 4 (Ganjoor numbering); 14th century.
Hafez says two days.
Two days.
Even hardship that lasts for years
is two days in his tongue.
He is not really consoling.
He is making an observation:
The sky turns.
What turns does not stay in the same place.
This holds on good days too.
What gladdens you does not stay either.
Whoever knows this
neither collapses much
nor swells much.
