Sol 6.1

  1. أَكثَرتَ فيمَن أَهوى مَلامَك

    فَمَجَّ سَمعي فيهِ كَلامَك

    You have overdone your reproaches about the one I love;

    so my ears have spat out your words about him.

  2. وَيا خَيالَ الحَبيبِ عُدني

    أَو لا فَعِدني لَيلاً لِمامَك

    And O phantom of the beloved, visit me,

    or, if not, promise me your fleeting visit at night.

  3. قالَ وَأَنّى تَرى خَيالاً

    في اللَيلِ مِمَّن نَفى مَنامَك

    He said, “And how can you see a phantom

    at night, of one who has banished your sleep?”

  4. مَنَعتَني مِنكَ كُلَّ شَيءٍ

    يَهواهُ قَلبي حَتّى سَلامَك

    You have denied me everything of yours

    that my heart desires—even your greeting.

  5. ما يَحسُدُ البانُ إِذ تَثَنّى

    قَوامَ شَيءٍ إِلّا قَوامَك

    When it sways, the bān tree envies no

    figure but yours.

  6. يوسُفُ لَو لَم يَكُن نَبِيّاً

    لَكانَ في حُسنِهِ غُلامَك

    Joseph, had he not been a prophet,

    would, in beauty, have been your servant.

  7. أَهوى البُكا إِذ أَراكَ وَجداً

    إِذ كُنتُ مِنهُ أَرى اِبتِسامَك

    I love to weep with longing when I see you,

    for through it I used to see your smile.
