Sol 6.1

  1. سلام كما حيتك عاطرة النشر

    وإلا كما هب النسيم مع الفجر

    Peace, as the sweetly scented one greeted you,

    Or else, as the breeze blew with the dawn.

  2. سلام على من حل في قلب شاغب

    سلام يصم الأفق طيبا من الزهر

    Peace upon the one who dwelt in a restless heart,

    Peace that deafens the horizon with fragrance from the blossoms.

  3. سلام لمن شطت به عنك داره

    وأنت له قلب وسمع مدى الدهر

    Peace to him whose home has carried him far from you,

    And you are his heart and hearing for all time.

  4. في وصف حبيبه

    كبير الصدر

    In describing his beloved.

    Broad of chest.

  5. فلم لا تصحبونا في الركب

    وابشر فقد جئت المقام بلا فخر

    So why do you not accompany us in the caravan?

    And rejoice, for you have reached the station, without boasting.

  6. تذكر في المنازل كلها

    فما القلب من فقد الأحبة في حضر

    Remember, in all the dwellings,

    For the heart, through losing loved ones, is not at home.

  7. حقا إن بعدي عنكم

    لذئب جري لكنني تبت من كبر

    Truly, my distance from you

    Is surely a bold wolf; yet I have repented of pride.

  8. أحادي الشوق يحدو قلوبكم

    ويسدي بكم إذا وصلوا الحب بالكدر

    Does longing's camel-driver urge your hearts onward,

    And bestow favors through you when they mingle love with bitterness?

  9. نحن نحو الشغب شوقا وما إليكم

    مراد ولا قصد سوى ساكن الدبر

    We turn toward tumult in longing, and toward you we have no

    Desire or aim except the dweller at the rear.

  10. فليتني لم أفرق شعاب أحبة

    أدب كرام الجمر

    If only I had not separated the mountain paths of loved ones.

    The courtesy of the noble ones of the embers.

  11. تحية من يفديك من كل حادث

    وفيت الردى بالنفس والأهل والوفر

    A greeting from one who would ransom you from every calamity.

    I paid death its due with my life, family, and wealth.

  12. على أنني أدري بأني مقصر

    ولكنني أرسلتها بيدي عذر

    Though I know that I fall short,

    Yet I sent it with an excuse in my hand.

  13. ألا يا كتاني قبل ترب نعالهم

    بحق علا مني على قدم البدر

    Ah, Kattani, kiss the dust of their sandals,

    By a right that rose from me upon the full moon's foot.

  14. وأسدي سلاما للحبيب محمد

    سيد الدنا والأخرى بلا نكر

    And I offer peace to the beloved Muhammad,

    Master of this world and the next, beyond denial,

  15. وآله والأصحاب طرا بلا عد

    وأحبابه جمعا مقيما بلا حصر

    And to his family and companions, one and all, beyond counting,

    And his loved ones, an abiding host without limit.

  16. واقبل طويلا من قصير

    بليد جهيل في حكيم في ذا الشعر

    And accept something long from one who is short,

    Dull and ignorant concerning a sage in this poetry.

  17. وناظمة عبد الإله محمد

    سني أبي عبد الكبير فيا فخر

    And the versifier is God's servant, Muhammad.

    Illustrious is my father, ʿAbd al-Kabir—what glory!

  18. وادع له بالخير والنجا

    وعفوا من المولى العلي من ذا الذكر

    And pray for goodness and deliverance for him,

    And pardon from the Most High Lord through this remembrance.

  19. فيا رب بالهادي البشير محمد

    نبي نبي فضيل كامل على القدر

    So, O Lord, by the guide and bearer of glad tidings, Muhammad,

    A prophet, a prophet, virtuous and perfect in rank,

  20. أجرنا من النيران واغفر ذنوبنا

    وشفعه فينا فهو خير الذي ندري

    Shelter us from the fires, and forgive our sins,

    And accept his intercession for us, for he is the best we know.

  21. عليه سلام اله ما أظلم الدجى

    وما لاح من مدى الدهر

    God's peace be upon him as long as the night grows dark,

    And as long as anything gleams throughout time.

  22. عسى جاهك المقبول يشكف غمنا

    بجاهك يا مختار

    May your accepted standing lift our grief,

    By your standing, O chosen one.
