وَلَيْسَ الْعَجَبُ أَنْ يَغْلِبَ، إِنَّمَا الْعَجَبُ أَنْ يُغْلَبَ

It is not surprising that one should prevail; what is surprising is that one should be overcome.

يُغْلَبَ one should be overcome

A present verb in the subjunctive (triggered by 'that') AND in the passive: the vowels inside the word are changed so the subject undergoes the action rather than doing it, 'that one BE overcome'. Arabic marks the passive by these internal vowel changes, not by a helper word like English 'be'.
