אַאַזְמוּ"ר אָמַר

My revered grandfather, the Rebbe [Maharash], once said:

אַ אִידִישׁעֶר קרעֶכץ וואָס קוּמט חַס וְשָׁלוֹם בְּסִבָּה פוּן אַ נִיט גוּט גַּשְׁמִי

“Even when the sigh of a Jew is occasioned by an unfavorable material circumstance (Heaven forbid),

אִיז אוֹיך אַ תְּשׁוּבָה גְדוֹלָה

this too is a significant act of teshuvah. 

בִּפְרַט אַ קְרעֶכץ בְּסִבָּה פוּן אַ נִיט גוּט רוּחָנִי

All the more so, a sigh due to an unfavorable spiritual situation

אִיז אַוַדאַי אוּן אַוַדאַי אַ תְּשׁוּבָה מַעַלַיְתָא

is most certainly a lofty level of teshuvah.

דעֶר קְרעֶכץ שְׁלעֶפּט אַרוֹיס פוּן עוֹמֶק רַע

It drags one out of the depths of evil,

אוּן שְׁטעֶלט אַנִידעֶר אִין אַ מַעֲמָד טוֹב

and sets him up in a good place.”
