Sol 6

  1. خَفَّ القَطِينُ وأَخَلفُوا أَربي

    واعتادَني مِن ذِكرِهِم وصَبَي

    The people broke camp and left my desire unfulfilled.

    And remembering them brought my longing back.

  2. واحتَلَّ أَهلي بِالخَورَنقِ وال

    حِيرةِ واحتَلُّوا بِذي خُشُبِ

    My family settled at al-Khawarnaq and al-

    Hira, while they settled at Dhu Khushub.

  3. ظَعنُوا وأُتبعُهُم عُذافِرَةص

    حَرفاً أَمُوناً سَهوَةَ الَخَبَبِ

    They departed, and I follow them on a powerful she-camel,

    lean, dependable, and easy in her trot.

  4. أجداً إذا رَفَعَ الأَمواتَ مَرَّ بِها

    وتَكمَّشَت كمَسرول سَبَبِ

    Earnestly—when the dead were raised, he passed by her;

    and she drew herself together like a cord in trousers.

  5. أَقضي بِها أَرَبي وتُبلِغُني

    قابُوسَ أَهلَ الُملكِ والَحَسبِ

    On her I fulfill my need, and she carries me

    to Qabus, of kingship and noble descent.

  6. وبِها فِدىً لَكَ ما عَلا قَدَمي

    قابُوسُ مِن جَسَدي نَعَم وأَبي

    And by her, all of my body above my feet is ransom for you,

    Qabus—yes, and my father too.

  7. بِالنَّصرِ نِلتَ الُملكَ قَد عَلِمَ ال

    أَقوامُ لَم تَغدِر ولَم تَخَبِ

    Through victory you gained the kingdom; the

    peoples know you have never betrayed or failed.

  8. يَوماً بِأَصدَقَ مِنكَ قَد عَلِمُوا

    بَأساً وأَسرَعَ في الطَّلَبِ

    Never have they known anyone truer than you,

    braver or swifter in pursuit.
