lā yasʾamu l-ʾinsānu min duʿāʾi l-khayri wa-ʾin massahu sh-sharru fa-yaʾūsun qanūṭun
Man does not weary of asking for good (things), but if ill touches him, he gives up all hope (and) is lost in despair.
— Abdullah Yusufali
Man is never wearied of supplicating for good, and should any ill befall him, he becomes hopeless and despondent.
