Sol 6.1

  1. شَقيِقُكَ غُيِّبَ فِي لَحدِهِ

    وَتَطْلُعُ يَا بَدرُ مِنْ بَعدِهِ

    Your brother has been hidden in his grave,

    Yet you rise, O full moon, after him!

  2. فَهَل لاَ خَسِفْتَ فَكَانَ الخُسُو

    فُ لِباسَ السَوَادِ عَلَى فقدِهِ

    Then why were you not eclipsed, so that the eclipse

    Might be a robe of black in mourning for his loss?

  3. لِحُبِ بَكَى إذ قَضَى نَحبَهُ

    حَبِيبٌ حَوَى الحُسنَ في بُردِهِ

    For love he wept when death claimed

    A beloved who held beauty within his mantle.

  4. وَقَالَ وَقَدْ ذَابَ مِنْ حُزنِهِ

    وَمِما يُكَابِدُ مِنْ وَجدِهِ

    And he said, melting away from his grief

    And from the anguished longing he endured,

  5. بَدِيهَا يُخَاطِبُ بَدرَ الدُّجَا

    وقَدْ طَلَعَ البَدْرُ فِي سَعدِهِ

    Speaking impromptu to the full moon of night,

    As the full moon rose auspiciously:

  6. شَقِيقُكَ غُيِّبَ فِي لَحدِهِ

    وَتَطلُعُ يا بَدرُ مِنْ بَعدِهِ

    Your brother has been hidden in his grave,

    Yet you rise, O full moon, after him!

  7. فَهَلْ لاَ خَسِفتَ فَكَانَ الخُسُو

    فُ لِباسَ السَوادِ عَلَى فَقْدِهِ

    Then why were you not eclipsed, so that the eclipse

    Might be a robe of black in mourning for his loss?

  8. فَجَاءَ الخُسُوفُ لِبَدرِ الدُّجا

    فَكَانَ الخُسُوفُ عَلَى وَعدِهِ

    Then the eclipse came upon the full moon of night,

    So the eclipse was true to its promise.

  9. فَخَرَّ المُتَيَّمُ مِنْ وَقتِهِ

    وَأنهَلَهُ المَوتُ مِنْ وِردِه

    Then the love-stricken man fell that very instant,

    And Death gave him a draught from its watering place.

  10. وَهَامَ مِنَ الوَجدِ أصحابُهُ

    وَكُلٌ جَرَى الدَّمعُ فِي خَدّه

    And his companions wandered distraught with grief,

    And tears flowed down each one's cheek.
