Sol 6.1

  1. إِن كانَ مِنكَ الذَنب وَالهَجر

    فَعَلى المُحب العُذر وَالصَبر

    If the fault and estrangement come from you,

    then the lover must excuse you and be patient.

  2. لَكَ أَن تُذيب حَشاشَتي كَمداً

    وَلَكَ عَليَّ الحَمد وَالشُكرُ

    You may melt my life's essence with grief,

    and I owe you praise and thanks.

  3. قَد عَقَني قَلبي الطَروب فَما

    يَمضي عَلَيهِ لِشقوتي أَمرُ

    My rapturous heart has defied me, so no

    command holds sway over it, to my misery.

  4. فَأَذبهُ أَو عَذبهُ كَيفَ تَشا

    وَبِما تَشا فَعذابُهُ أَجرُ

    So melt it or torment it however you wish,

    and with whatever you wish, for its torment is a reward—

  5. إِلّا بِبَذل جَمال وَجهِكَ لِلنَظَر

    المُريب فَإِنَّهُ وَزر

    except by offering your face's beauty to a gaze

    that arouses suspicion, for that is a sin.

  6. لَو أَنصَفَتكَ الشَمسُ ما طَلِعَت

    إِلّا بِأذنِكَ أَيُّها البَدر

    Had the sun done you justice, it would not have risen

    except with your permission, O full moon.

  7. وَلَو أَن دَهري فيكَ أَنصَفَني

    ما إِغتالَني بِفراقك الدَهرُ

    And had my fate dealt justly with me concerning you,

    fate would not have treacherously slain me through separation from you.
