Sol 6.1

  1. إِذا ماتَ اِبنُها صَرَخَت بِجَهلٍ

    وَماذا تَستَفيدُ مِنَ الصُراخِ

    When her son dies, she screams in ignorance;

    and what does she gain from screaming?

  2. سَتَتبَعُهُ كَعَطفِ الفاءِ لَيسَت

    بِمَهلٍ أَو كَثُمَّ عَلى التَراخي

    She will follow him like the conjunction “fa,” with no

    delay—or like “thumma,” after an interval.
