Sol 6.1

  1. شَربنا في غُروبِ الشّمْسِ شَمْساً

    لها وَصْفٌ يَجِلُّ عنِ الصِّفاتِ

    At sunset we drank a sun,

    whose nature transcends all description.

  2. عَجِبْتُ لِعَاصِرِيها كيفَ ماتوا

    وقَدْ صَنَعُوا لنا ماءَ الحَياةِ

    I marveled at those who pressed it—how could they die,

    when they had made for us the water of life?
