Sol 6.1

  1. تَعالوا بِنا نَطوي الحَديثَ الَّذي جَرى

    وَلا سَمِعَ الواشي بِذاكَ وَلا دَرى

    Come, let us fold away the talk that passed,

    and may the talebearer neither hear of it nor know.

  2. تَعالوا بِنا حَتّى نَعودَ إِلى الرِضى

    وَحَتّى كَأَنَّ العَهدَ لَن يَتَغَيَّرا

    Come, let us return to harmony,

    until it is as though our bond will never change.

  3. وَلا تَذكُروا ذاكَ الَّذي كانَ بَينَنا

    عَلى أَنَّهُ ما كانَ ذَنبٌ فَيُذكَرا

    And do not mention what passed between us,

    though there was no offense to speak of.

  4. نَسَبتُم لَنا الغَدرَ الَّذي كانَ مِنكُمُ

    فَلا آخَذَ الرَحمَنُ مَن كانَ أَعذَرا

    You ascribed to us the treachery that was yours;

    so may the All-Merciful not punish whoever had the better excuse.

  5. لَقَد طالَ شَرحُ القالِ وَالقيلِ بَينَنا

    وَما طالَ ذاكَ الشَرحُ إِلّا لِيَقصُرا

    Long have we gone over what was said between us,

    yet that explanation grew long only to grow brief.

  6. مَتى يَجمَعُ الرَحمَنُ شَملي بِقُربِكُم

    وَيَصفو لَنا مِن عَيشِنا ما تَكَدَّرا

    When will the All-Merciful make me whole again through nearness to you,

    and what has grown clouded in our life turn clear for us?

  7. سَأَذكُرُ إِحساناً تَقَدَّمَ مِنكُمُ

    وَأَترُكُ إِكراماً لَهُ ما تَأَخَّرا

    I shall remember your earlier kindness,

    and, in its honor, set aside what came later.

  8. مِنَ اليَومِ تاريخُ المَحَبَّةِ بَينَنا

    عَفا اللَهُ عَن ذاكَ العِتابِ الَّذي جَرى

    From today we date the love between us;

    may God forgive that reproach that passed.

  9. فَكَم لَيلَةٍ بِتنا وَكَم باتَ بَينَنا

    مِنَ الأُنسِ ما يُنسى بِهِ طَيِّبُ الكَرى

    For many a night we spent together, and much lingered between us

    of companionship that made us forget the sweetness of sleep—

  10. أَحاديثُ أَحلى في النُفوسِ مِنَ المُنى

    وَأَلطَفُ مِن مَرِّ النَسيمِ إِذا سَرى

    conversations sweeter to the soul than wishes,

    and gentler than the passing of the breeze as it drifts by night.
