Sol 6.1

  1. ذخرتُ مديحي في النبي محمَّد

    ليوم به أهلُ الكبائرِ تُجبذُ

    I have stored up my praise of the Prophet Muhammad

    For a day when those guilty of grave sins are dragged away.

  2. ذُنوبي التي اثقلت ظَهري بحملِها

    تخفُّ إذا ما كانَ لي منهُ مُنقذُ

    My sins, whose burden has weighed down my back,

    Grow light if, through him, I have a deliverer.

  3. ذكرتُ بحمد اللَه فيه مدائحي

    فإني بتذكاري لها أتلَذَّذُ

    I recalled, praise be to God, my poems in his praise,

    For I delight in remembering them.

  4. ذروني فإني منه بالخير واثقٌ

    وحسبي قولٌ منه في الحشر يُنقذُ

    Leave me be, for I am confident of goodness from him;

    And a word from him at the Gathering suffices to save me.

  5. ذر الخوفَ يا قلبي فثمَّ شَفاعةُ

    ويمحي بها الزَّيف الذي لك جهبَذُ

    Abandon fear, my heart, for there is intercession,

    And through it an expert assayer effaces the counterfeit coin you possess.

  6. ذهُولي عن العمر الذي مَرَّ ضائعا

    أعاد فُؤادي وهو خوفاً مُجَذَّذُ

    My heedlessness of the lifetime that passed in vain

    Has brought my heart back, torn to pieces with fear.

  7. ذهابُ حياتي أودَع القلب حسرةً

    فليس له من بعدها مُتَلذَّذُ

    My life's passing has lodged regret in my heart,

    So afterward it has nothing left to delight in.

  8. دمار حياة المرءِ بعد حياته

    مباحٌ لأن الدهرَ يُعطي ويأخذُ

    The destruction of a man's life after he has lived it

    Is permitted, for time gives and takes away.

  9. نَللتُ ولكنِّي عَززتُ بمدحِ من

    به من ذُنوبي في غَدٍ أتعَوَّذُ

    [I was abased], yet I gained honor by praising the one

    In whom I seek refuge from my sins on the morrow.

  10. ذَمَمتُ قَريضاً لا يكونُ بمدحه

    يِنَظَّمُ فيه لؤلؤٌ وزَبرجَدُ

    I have condemned verse that does not, in his praise,

    Have pearls and peridot strung within it.
