M3:2924 — ای بسا کارا که اول صعب گشت / بعد از آن بگشاده شد سختی گذشت

This beyt comes in a section where the Prophets (انبیا) are responding to those who have become despondent. The Prophets are urging them not to lose hope, reminding them of God's boundless grace and mercy. The couplet serves as a general principle, a universal truth: that initial hardship is not indicative of a permanent state. It encourages perseverance and faith, suggesting that what seems 'hard to bear' (صعب گشت) will ultimately 'open wide' (بگشاده شد) and its 'hardship passed' (سختی گذشت). This reinforces the Sufi emphasis on patience (صبر) and trust (توکل) in the divine process, even when the path is unclear or fraught with difficulty. It's a message of encouragement, telling the disheartened that their current struggles are temporary and will eventually give way to ease.
