Sol 6.1

  1. سَمَّتكَ أُمُّكَ ديناراً وَقَد كَذَبَت

    لَو كُنتَهُ لَم تَكُن حَمّالَ أَدناسِ

    Your mother named you Dinar, and she lied.

    Were you one, you would not be a bearer of impurities,

  2. مُمَزَّجاً مِن دَنايا خالَطَت وَسَخاً

    مُقَسَّماً بَينَ أَنواعٍ وَأَجناسِ

    blended from base traits mingled with filth,

    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.

    Alas! A friend has grown desolate after companionship.

  4. فَعُذ بِرَبِّكَ مِن وَسواسِ مُشبِهَةٍ

    خَنساءَ تَرميكَ مِن جِنٍّ بِخُنّاسِ

    So seek refuge with your Lord from the whispers of one resembling

    a snub-nosed gazelle, who hurls at you a lurking whisperer from among the jinn.

  5. يا والِيَ المِصرِ وَالإِقليمِ هَل حُفِظَت

    صَنائِعٌ لَكَ أَم كُلُّ اِمرِئٍ ناسي

    O governor of the city and province, have they been remembered—

    your favors—or is everyone forgetful?

  6. أَودِعتَ ضِغناً فَلا تَجحَدهُ مَودِعَهُ

    إِنَّ الأَمانَةَ لَم تُرفَع مِنَ الناسِ

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

    Indeed, trustworthiness has not been taken away from humankind.
