Sol 6.1

  1. أَعِدِ الرِسالَةَ ثانِيَه

    وَخُذِ الجَوابَ عَلانِيَه

    Repeat the message once again,

    and receive the answer openly.

  2. فَعَسى بِتَكرارِ الحَدي

    ثِ عَلَيَّ أَنسى ما بِيَه

    So perhaps, with the talk repeated

    to me, I may forget what ails me.

  3. وَعَساكَ تُطفِئُ مِن غَلي

    لِ الشَوقِ ناراً حامِيَه

    And perhaps you may quench, born of the burning thirst

    of longing, a blazing fire.

  4. فَإِذا رَجَعتَ مُسَلِّماً

    فَاِبدَأ بِرَدِّ سَلامِيَه

    Then, when you return with greetings,

    begin by returning my greeting.

  5. وَقُلِ السَلامُ عَلَيكُمُ

    أَهلَ القُصورِ العالِيَه

    And say: Peace be upon you,

    people of the lofty palaces.

  6. وَأَعِد بِحُسنِ تَلَطُّفٍ

    وَكما عَلِمتَ جَوابِيَه

    And repeat, with gracious tact,

    my reply, just as you have learned it:

  7. يا آخِذي بَل تارِكي

    في لَوعَةٍ هِيَ ماهِيَه

    O my captor—no, you who leave me

    in anguish—and what anguish!

  8. ما بالُ كُتبِكَ عِندَ

    غَيري دائِماً مُتَوالِيَه

    Why do your letters to

    others always come one after another?

  9. وَإِذا كَتَبتَ عَساكَ تَذ

    كُرُني وَلو في الحاشِيَه

    And when you write, perhaps you might remember

    me, if only in the margin.

  10. لا تَنسَ ما بَيني وَبَي

    نَكَ مِن عُهودٍ باقِيَه

    Do not forget what lies between me and

    you: pledges that still endure.

  11. بِاللَهِ مَن هَذا الَّذي

    تُعطيهِ مِنكَ مَكانِيَه

    By God, who is this one

    to whom you give my place with you?

  12. حاشاكَ تَرضى أَن أَبي

    تَ وَأَنتَ عَنّي ناحِيَه

    Far be it from you to accept that I pass the night

    while you remain far away from me.
