Sol 6.1

  1. سَمَّتكَ أُمُّكَ ديناراً وَقَد كَذَبَت

    لَو كُنتَهُ لَم تَكُن حَمّالَ أَدناسِ

    Your mother named you Dinar, and indeed she lied.

    Had you been one, you would not have been a bearer of defilements,

  2. مُمَزَّجاً مِن دَنايا خالَطَت وَسَخاً

    مُقَسَّماً بَينَ أَنواعٍ وَأَجناسِ

    Compounded of base deeds that mingled with grime,

    Divided among kinds and classes.

  3. زُرتُ القُبورَ فَما آنَسَت مِن شَبَحٍ

    هَيهاتَ أَوحَشَ خِلٌّ بَعدَ إيناسِ

    I visited the graves, but perceived no figure.

    How far away! A friend has grown desolate after companionship.

  4. فَعُذ بِرَبِّكَ مِن وَسواسِ مُشبِهَةٍ

    خَنساءَ تَرميكَ مِن جِنٍّ بِخُنّاسِ

    So seek refuge in your Lord from the whispering of one resembling

    Khansa, who assails you with a skulking one of the jinn.

  5. يا والِيَ المِصرِ وَالإِقليمِ هَل حُفِظَت

    صَنائِعٌ لَكَ أَم كُلُّ اِمرِئٍ ناسي

    O governor of the city and the province, are they remembered—

    Your favors—or is every man forgetful?

  6. أَودِعتَ ضِغناً فَلا تَجحَدهُ مَودِعَهُ

    إِنَّ الأَمانَةَ لَم تُرفَع مِنَ الناسِ

    You were entrusted with a grudge; do not deny it to its depositor.

    Indeed, trust has not been taken away from people.
