Sol 6.1

  1. هَلُمُّوا فَعِنْدي لِلمَحَبَّةِ وَالهَوَى

    سِقَامُ غَرَامٍ لَسْتُ أُحْسِنُ طِبَّهُ

    Come, for in love and passion I suffer

    A sickness of longing I do not know how to cure.

  2. هِبُوا لِيَ جَفْناً يَمْلِكُ العَقْلُ دَمْعَهُ

    وَإِلاَّ فقَلْباً يَحْكُمُ الصَّبْرُ لُبَّهُ

    Grant me an eyelid whose tears reason controls,

    Or else a heart whose core patience governs.

  3. هَوَتْ قَدَمي فِي الحُبِّ عَنْ غَيْرِ خِبْرَةٍ

    فَأَلْفَيْتَهُ حُلْوَ التَّجَرُّعِ عَذْبَهُ

    My foot plunged into love without experience,

    And I found it sweet to swallow, delightful in savor.

  4. هُوَ الشَّهْدُ مَمْزُوجاً بِسُمِّ وَعَلْقَمٍ

    أُؤَمَّلُ عَتْبَاهُ وَأَحْذَرُ عَتْبَهُ

    It is honey mingled with poison and bitter colocynth;

    I hope for its restored favor and fear its reproach.

  5. هَوَيْتُ حَبِيباً لَسْتُ أَهْلاً لِحُبِّهِ

    وَأَنَّي لِمِثْلِي أَنْ يَكُونَ مُحِبَّهُ

    I loved a beloved I am unworthy to love,

    And how could one like me be his lover?

  6. هَلاَلُ فُؤَادِي كُلَّمَا ذُقتُ غَفْوَةً

    وَصُبْحُ عَيَانِي كُلَّمَا أَتَنَبَّهُ

    He is my heart's crescent whenever I taste slumber,

    And the dawn of my vision whenever I awaken.

  7. هَمَمْتُ بِإِدْرَاكٍ فَقَصَّرتُ هَيَبةً

    وَعَجْزِي عَنِ الإِدْرَاكِ أَوْلَى وَأَشْبَهُ

    I sought understanding, but fell short out of awe;

    And my inability to understand is more fitting and more apt.

  8. هَفَا بِكَ قَلْبٌ أَنْتَ أَوْرَيْتَ زَنْدَهُ

    وَنَالكَ طَرْفٌ أَنْتَ أَهْمَلْتَ سَحْبَهُ

    A heart fluttered for you—you kindled its fire-stick;

    And a gaze reached you—you let its rain clouds loose.

  9. هَنِيِئاً لِهَذِي النَّفْسِ إِنْ كُنْتَ حِبّهَا

    وَطُوبَى لِهَذا القَلْبِ إِنْ كُنْتَ حِبَّهُ

    Joy to this soul, if you are its beloved,

    And bliss to this heart, if you are its beloved.
