Sol 6.1

  1. يُفَلِّلُ بالعزْمِ الصًّوارمَ والقَنا

    ويهزمُ بالرأي الكَميَّ المُقَنَّعا

    With resolve he blunts sharp swords and spears,

    And with judgment he defeats the helmeted warrior.

  2. ويغدو نسيماً ساجياً في ودادهِ

    فان هِجْتَه كان الوشيكَ السَّرعرعا

    And in his affection he becomes a tranquil breeze,

    But if you rouse him, he is swift and vigorous.

  3. تكونُ سجاياهُ ذُعافاً بسخْطهِ

    وعند النِّدامِ البابليَّ المُشَعْشَعا

    His qualities become deadly poison in his wrath,

    And among drinking companions, watered Babylonian wine.

  4. وما زالَ يسعى والنِّجارُظَهيرهُ

    لنيل العُلى حتى حوى المجد أجمعا

    And he kept striving, his lineage his support,

    To attain lofty honor, until he won all glory.

  5. تركتُ عليه شْرَّداً من قلائدي

    تُعيدُ جبان الحيِّ ندْباً مُشَيَّعا

    I left upon him far-ranging verses from my necklaces,

    That turn the tribe's coward into a valiant, stouthearted man.

  6. اذا نصعتْ ألفاظُها في ممَدَّحٍ

    غدتْ في عليِّ الخير أبهى وأنصعا

    When their words shine brightly in a man's praise,

    They grow more splendid and purer in praise of Ali the Good.

  7. لنا هِزَّةٌ من ذكْرها طَرَبيَّةٌ

    تُعلِّمُني كوني مُعيداً مُرَجِّعا

    Their recital gives us a joyous thrill,

    Teaching me that I am one who repeats and chants.

  8. هو المرءُ اِما أسلم الحيُّ جارَهُ

    حماهُ واِما أنْهدَ القومُ دعْدَعا

    He is the man who, if the tribe abandons its neighbor,

    Protects him; and if the people rise to battle, he scatters them.

  9. فلا زالَ صدر الشرق والغرب سالماً

    أخا عِزَّةٍ ما خَبَّ سارٍ وأوضعا

    So may the foremost man of East and West ever remain safe,

    Possessed of might, as long as a night traveler trots and speeds on.
