"Weep that at length thou may’st be of a smiling countenance, For this lamentation hath great value with God; And the value which sorrow hath there, where else has it such? Happy the eye that thus weeps, Noble the heart that thus burns, In the end all our weeping shall be turned to smiles, The man who considers the end is a blessed servant."
Rumi
