Sol 6.1

  1. يا أهل لست بمشتاق إلى وطني

    حتى أرى خيل فنا خسرُ بينكُم

    O people, I do not yearn for my homeland

    Until I see Fana Khusraw's cavalry among you.

  2. أضحى يهنأ في الأضحى بمنزلة

    لا العرب نالت مراقيها ولا العجم

    He now receives congratulations at Eid al-Adha on a rank

    Whose heights neither Arabs nor non-Arabs have attained.

  3. أصغر بأضحية في غير يوم وغى

    فما اضاحيك الا الخيل والبهم

    How paltry a sacrifice on a day without battle!

    For your sacrificial victims are none but horses and fearless warriors.

  4. وإنما أنت لطف الله جسمه

    لنا وفي يدك الأرزاق والقسم

    And you are but God's grace, which He embodied

    For us; and in your hand lie sustenance and allotted shares.

  5. عدلت حتى هممنا أن نجور وكم

    من شارك نعما في ضمنها نقم

    You were so just that we contemplated injustice—and how many

    Have shared in blessings concealing afflictions within them!

  6. إن المسيح وقد بانت دلالته

    لولا هداه لما ضلت به الامم

    Indeed, the Messiah—though his proof was manifest—

    Without his guidance, nations would not have gone astray through him.

  7. في كل ناحية لم ترعها امم

    الهدي منها بعيد والاذى أمم

    In every region you have not overawed are peoples;

    Guidance is far from them, and harm is near.

  8. إن البلاد ومن فيها مروعة

    بها اليك وان طلتها قرم

    Indeed, the lands and those within them are terrified;

    They yearn for you, even if you have kept them waiting.

  9. وما نبالي اذا ما كنت شاهدها

    أن غاب معتضد عنها ومعتصم

    And we do not care, so long as you are present there,

    That Mu'tadid and Mu'tasim are absent from them.

  10. عدها بنصرك أو قل سوف ادركها

    فإن قولك في أمثالهم قسم

    Promise them your aid, or say, 'I shall reach them';

    For your word concerning people like them is an oath.
