Sol 6.1

  1. سِويلمُ ما قَوْلٌ ببيتِكَ يُفْتَرَى

    بألسنةٍ تبغي الفسادَ فَتكذِبُ

    Suwaylim, what talk is being fabricated in your house

    By tongues that seek corruption and so lie?

  2. أَلابْنِ أُبيٍّ رَأيهُ ما وَراءَهُ

    لِذي نُهْيَةٍ رأيٌ ولا عنه مَذْهَبُ

    Is Ibn Ubayy’s opinion such that beyond it

    No man of reason has a view, and from it there is no escape?

  3. حَقودٌ رَمَى بالشُّؤْمِ كلَّ مُنافقٍ

    فيا لكَ من شَرٍّ على النّاسِ يُجلَبُ

    A spiteful man, he cast ill fortune upon every hypocrite—

    And oh, what evil is brought upon the people!

  4. أحَسَّ رَسولُ اللهِ ما كان منهمُ

    وَجاءَ بَرِيدُ الله بالحقِّ يدأبُ

    God’s Messenger sensed what they had done,

    And God’s courier came with the truth, striving tirelessly.

  5. فقال لعمَّارٍ أرى القومَ أوقدوا

    لأنفُسِهمْ نَاراً بِعَيْني تَلهَّبُ

    So he said to Ammar, “I see the people have kindled

    For themselves a fire, blazing before my eyes.

  6. ألا قُمْ فَأدْرِكْهُم ولمَّا يُصِبْهُمُ

    عَذابٌ غَليظٌ ما لهم منه مَهْرَبُ

    Now rise and reach them, before they are struck

    By a grievous torment from which they have no escape.”

  7. فلمّا أتاهم أنكروا ثم أقبلوا

    بأقوالٍ فُجَّارٍ عن الحقِّ تَرغبُ

    When he came to them, they denied it, then came forward

    With evildoers’ words that turned away from the truth.

  8. فقالَ رسولُ اللهِ بل قُلتمُ الذي

    عَلِمتُ وما يخفَى عَليَّ المُغيَّبُ

    God’s Messenger said, “No, you said what

    I have learned, and the unseen is not hidden from me.”

  9. فقالوا على غَيْظِ النُّفوسِ وَحِقدِها

    ألا إنّما كُنَّا نَخوضُ ونَلعبُ

    They said, despite their souls’ rage and rancor,

    “Indeed, we were only talking idly and playing.”

  10. وعادوا خَزَايا نادِمينَ وإنّهم

    إلى الشَّرِّ إلا أن يَتوبوا لأَقْرَبُ

    They returned disgraced and remorseful; indeed, they

    Are closer to evil, unless they repent.
