i would like to have it in persian script with the english translation if possible.

i know this isn't a straightforward request but I would really really appreciate any help!

If no one has a better idea, maybe this would work:

"In the hour of adversity, be not without hope, for crystal rain falls from black clouds." — Nizami

Thank you!!
Hi,
I am glad to do it. but I don't remember many proverbs now, you have to do with the ones I will write right now. maybe later some other proverbs will come to me later...if you can wait...

در ناامیدی بسی امید است، پایان شب سیه سپید است

There is a lot of hope in Hopelessness, The end of the dark night is brightness. (interesting, how it rhymes in English too)


"In the hour of adversity, be not without hope, for crystal rain falls from black clouds." — Nizami

It is not the exact verse but it should do...

در اوقات سختی نا امید مباش، زیرا باران شفاف از ابرهای سیاه میبارد....
