Sol 6.1

  1. دُمُوعِي أبَت إلاّ انسِكاباً لَعَلَّها

    بِمَكنُونِ حُبِّي عِندَ خِلِّيَ تَشهَدُ

    My tears would do nothing but pour forth; perhaps they

    may testify before my beloved to my hidden love.

  2. دَنَوتُ فأقصَاني فَعُدتُ فَرَدَّني

    فَلا هُوَيُدنِيني ولا أنا أبعُدُ

    I drew near, and he drove me away; I returned, and he turned me back.

    So he does not draw me near, nor do I withdraw.

  3. دُهِيتُ بِفقدَانٍ لِمَن قَد وَجَدتُهُ

    فَلا إمَدمَعُ يَرقَا ولا وَجدَ يَخمُدُ

    I was stricken by losing one whom I had found.

    So tears do not cease, nor does longing die down.

  4. دَبيبُ الهَوى بينَ الضُّلُُوع مُؤجِّجٌ

    لهَيبَ اشتياقٍ فيهِ للقَلب مَوردُ

    Love's creeping between the ribs kindles

    a blaze of longing, where the heart finds a watering place.

  5. دَعاني فَمَن ذَاقَ الهَوى ثَمّ لم يَنَل

    وصَالَ حَبيبٍ كيفَ لا يتَنَهَّدُ

    Leave me be, you two! Whoever has tasted love, then failed to gain

    union with a beloved—how could he not sigh?

  6. دَعاوَى الأسَى عِندي عَلَيكَ صَحِيحةٌ

    فَقَلبيَ خَفَّاقٌ وَجَفنِي مُسَهَّدُ

    My claims of sorrow against you are well founded:

    for my heart throbs, and my eyelid is sleepless.

  7. دَمِي بِكًَ مَسفوكٌ وَدمعِي بسَفكِهِ

    فَيَصلُحُ قَلبي فيكَ مِن حَيثُ يَفسُدُ

    My blood is shed because of you, and my tears at its shedding;

    so my heart finds healing in you at the very source of its ruin.

  8. دَفَائنُ حُبٍّ في لُحودِ جَوانحٍ

    لهابِكَ حَشرٌ كُلَّ يومٍ ومَوعِدُ

    Love's buried treasures, in the grave-niches of the ribs,

    have, through you, a resurrection and an appointed meeting each day.

  9. دُجايَ إذا واصَلتَ يَومٌ مُؤبَّدٌ

    ويَومِي إذَا أبعَدتَ لَيلٌ مُسَرمَدُ

    My darkness, when you grant me union, is everlasting day;

    and my day, when you keep me far away, is endless night.

  10. دُنُوُّكَ أقصَى ما أقحِبُّ وأشتَهي

    فإن نِلتُهُ فَهوَ النَّعيمُ المُخَلَّدُ

    Your nearness is what I love and desire most;

    and if I attain it, it is everlasting bliss.
