Sol 6.1

  1. وإذا هنيء الملوك فصبح

    ت من العيد أسعد التهنئاتِ

    And when kings are congratulated, may you be greeted at dawn

    with the happiest greetings of the feast.

  2. وفداك المحل فالنحر في أر

    ض منى والمهل في عرفات

    May the pilgrim released from consecration be your ransom—for sacrifice is in the land

    of Mina—and the pilgrim chanting the pilgrimage call at Arafat.

  3. وتعجلت أجر من خلع الإح

    رام عنه الاطمار في الميقات

    And may you receive in advance the reward of one whom ritual

    consecration stripped of ragged garments at the appointed station.

  4. وأجاب الإله فيك دئي

    غافر الذنب سامع الأصوات

    And may God answer [my prayer] for you—

    the Forgiver of sin, the Hearer of voices.

  5. زرته والغنى منى ويدي قد

    أتعب الناس عهدها بالصلات

    I visited him, with wealth my wish; and my hand had already

    wearied people through its familiarity with gifts.

  6. فكأني ملكت ناصية الده

    ر فصرفتها على شهواتي

    So it was as though I had seized the forelock of

    Time, and turned it to suit my desires.
