Sol 6.1

  1. حل وَجدي فَما لهُ مِن براح

    فَاترُكوني مِن العذول اللاحي

    My ardor has taken hold and will not depart.

    So spare me the scolding reproacher.

  2. حكم الشَوق في القوى فَلِهَذا

    حمرة الكَأس أَسكَرَت كُل صاح

    Longing has ruled the faculties; for this reason,

    the cup's redness has intoxicated every sober person.

  3. حيرة تذهل العُقول وَوَجد

    يَزرع السُقم في القُلوب الصِحاح

    A bewilderment that dazes minds, and an ardor

    that sows sickness in healthy hearts.

  4. حدث الكَون عَن حَبيبي فَأَضحى

    كُل عُضو مضمخاً بِجراح

    The universe spoke of my beloved, and so

    every limb became smeared with wounds.

  5. حارَ فكري بسيد قرشي

    فاقَ عيسى وَصاحب الأَلواح

    My mind was bewildered by a lord of Quraysh,

    who surpassed Jesus and the bearer of the Tablets.

  6. حادي الركب إِن وصلت إِلَيه

    وَلذاك الحمى وَتِلكَ البطاح

    O caravan-driver, if you come to him,

    and to that sanctuary and those broad valleys,

  7. حامل العيس لا عدمت سَلامي

    لِنَبي الهُدى واصل النَجاح

    Load the pale camels—may you never be bereft—with my greetings

    to the Prophet of guidance, the attainer of success.

  8. حجب اللَه عَنهُ كُل شَقي

    وَبِذي وَكل شاكي السِلاح

    God kept every wretch away from him,

    and every foul-mouthed man, and every man fully armed.

  9. حَسدته عَلى النُبوة قَوم

    وَتَعاموا عَن نوره الوَضاح

    Some people envied him for his prophethood,

    and feigned blindness to his radiant light.

  10. حارَبوه تَجاهلاً كَيفَ تخفى

    طَلعة الشَمس أَو ضِياء الصَباح

    They fought him, feigning ignorance. How can it be hidden—

    the sun's rising or the morning's radiance?
