Sol 6.1

  1. قرب الحبيب وقد تباعد وصله

    وعدا به أهلي علي وأهله

    The beloved drew near, yet union with him grew distant.

    And my kin and his turned against me because of him.

  2. وكلفت فيه ضنى وغبت عن السوى

    وجداً وأزعجني الرقيب وعذله

    And I grew enamored of him, wasting away, and lost awareness of all else,

    Through longing; the watcher and his reproach distressed me.

  3. وأردت أن أقضي جوي وصبابة

    لولا مواعيد الغزال ومطله

    And I wished to die of anguish and yearning,

    Were it not for the gazelle's promises and his stalling.

  4. علقت يدي معنى بحب غرامه

    وتعلقت فامتد بعد حبله

    My hand clung, in spirit, to passionate love for him,

    And held on, yet his cord stretched farther away.

  5. شغلي التذلل في سلوك طريقه

    والصد عني والتدلل شغله

    My occupation is self-abasement as I follow his path;

    And shunning me and playing coy are his occupation.

  6. علم الورى حالي به وبليتي

    وبدا لذي الدنيا جفاه وفعله

    Humankind has learned my state with him and my affliction,

    And his coldness and conduct became plain to the man of this world.

  7. متواضعاً لمحبه لكنه

    في الحب لا يرضيه إلا قتله

    Humble toward his lover, yet he—

    In love, nothing satisfies him but killing his lover.

  8. أين الشفا من دائه لمتيم

    دنف كئيب ضاع منه عقله

    Where is healing from his malady for one enslaved by love,

    Wasted and sorrowful, bereft of reason?

  9. ومن النوى لهفاً عليه ولوعةً

    محيت مراسمه وغير شكله

    And through separation, in anguish and burning longing for him,

    His features were effaced and his appearance changed.

  10. وله تخافق طير قلب مولع

    جرحته من كل الجوانب نبله

    And for him flutters the bird of an enamored heart,

    His arrows have wounded it from every side.

  11. أشكو له منه وأشكوه الجوى

    فلقد غزت صحرا فؤادي خيله

    I complain to him of him, and complain to him of my burning grief;

    For indeed, his horses have invaded the desert of my heart.

  12. اللَه من ألم تعاظم جرمه

    حكماً ومن أمل تعذر نيله

    God! What pain, whose magnitude has grown immense

    In its sway—and what hope, impossible to attain!

  13. حكم الزمان على الكريم بأنه

    يطوي الجناح وليس يبصر ظله

    Time has decreed against the noble man that he

    Fold his wing and not behold its shadow.

  14. وأثاب وغد القوم غاية قصده

    فعلاً وأوصله لذلك جهله

    And rewarded the people's scoundrel with his ultimate aim,

    Indeed—and his ignorance brought him to it.

  15. عفواً عن الزمن الخؤون فإنه

    أبدا إمام النذل يضرب طبله

    Pardon treacherous time, for it

    Is forever the scoundrel's leader, beating his drum.

  16. والجأ أخي إذا المهمة أسدلت

    أردانها والخطب أسحب ذيله

    And seek refuge, my brother, when grave trouble lets down

    Its sleeves, and calamity lets its train drag,

  17. بعريض جاه محمد مولى الورى

    من أغمر الأكوان طرا فضله

    Through the vast prestige of Muhammad, master of humankind,

    Whose bounty has flooded all the worlds.

  18. علم النبيين الكرام وسيد الر

    رسل العظام ومن تسامى طوله

    The banner of the noble prophets and master of the

    Great messengers, and he whose stature soars high.

  19. وهو الغياث إذا تجاسر ظالم

    وبغى بعدوته فحسبك عدله

    And he is succor when a tyrant grows bold,

    And oppresses in his aggression—his justice is enough for you.

  20. فرع من النور القديم واصل كل

    ل الكائنات وقد تفرد أصله

    A branch of the primordial light, and the source of all

    Beings; his root is unique.

  21. صلى عليه اللَه ما عم الرضى

    بوجوده وأعز فيه أهله

    May God bless him as long as contentment spreads

    Through his presence, and He honors his family through him.
