Sol 6.1

  1. لِمَعْنَايَ قَلْبِي نَحْوَكُمْ أَبَداً يَصْبُو

    وَعِنْدِي لَكُمْ وَجْدٌ جَمِيعِي لَهْ نَهْبُ

    For my inward essence, my heart forever yearns toward you.

    And within me is longing for you, to which my whole being is prey.

  2. وَمَا زَالَ سَلْبِ فَيكُمُ وَاجِباً لَكُمْ

    وَفِي حُبِّكُمْ يَا سَادَتي يَجِبُ السَّلْبُ

    And being despoiled for your sake has always been your due;

    And in love of you, O my masters, despoiling is required.

  3. غَدَا وَصْفُكُمْ لِلْحُسْنِ ذَاتاً فَشَمْسُكُمْ

    بكُمْ مِنْكُمُ فِيْكُمْ لَهَا الشَّرْقُ والغَرْبُ

    Your description has become beauty's very essence; so your sun—

    Through you, from you, in you—has the East and the West.

  4. تُحَرِّكُهَا الأَشْوَاقُ نَحْوَ جَمَالِكُمْ

    فَتَمْنَعُهَا تِلْكَ المَهَابَةُ والحُجْبُ

    Longings stir it toward your beauty,

    Then that majesty and the veils restrain it.

  5. فَلاَهِى يَغْشَاهَا سُكُونٌ وَلاَ تَرىَ

    سَبِيلاً لِذَاحَاَرتْ فَدَاَرتْ فَلاَ تَنْبُو

    So no stillness envelops it, nor does it see

    A path; thus it grew bewildered and revolved, never straying.

  6. تَدُورُ عَلَى بُعْدٍ مِنَ المَرْكَزِ الَّذِي

    بِهِ أَنْتُمُ إِذْ كَانَ شَخْصَكُمْ القُطْبُ

    It revolves at a distance from the center where

    You are, since your very person was the pole.

  7. فَلَوْ قِيْسَتْ الأَبْعَادُ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ

    تَسَاوَتْ فَلاَ بُعْدٌ يُرَامُ وَلاَ قُرْبُ

    So if the distances were measured from every side,

    They would be equal, so neither distance nor nearness is sought.
