Sol 6.1

  1. قتلوك باسم محمد وقتلتهم يافيلسوف العصر باسم محمد

    قتلوك في ظلم الحسين ومن يمت بثباته في رأيه يستشهد

    They killed you in Muhammad's name, and you killed them, O philosopher of the age, in Muhammad's name.

    They killed you with the injustice inflicted on Husayn; whoever dies steadfast in his conviction dies a martyr.

  2. وقتلتهم وهم يزيد ورهطه قتلى يساورهم عذاب المعتدي

    وأعدت ذكرى كربلاء بكوبر وبنو أمية أوغروا صدر الغد

    And you killed them—they are Yazid and his band—slain men assailed by the aggressor's torment.

    And you revived Karbala's memory at Kober; the sons of Umayya inflamed tomorrow's breast.

  3. حملوك فوق ذرى السحاب مخافة أم ذاك شأنك في العلو المصعد

    ونزلت ليس الىالتراب وانما في حضن موج الواهب المتجدد

    They bore you above the cloud-tops—out of fear, or is that your station in soaring heights?

    And you descended not to the dust, but into the embrace of the ever-renewing giver's waves.

  4. ياماشيا ثبت الجنان كأنما نوديت من ذي الوعد لا المتوعد

    يامن عرفت الله معرفة النهي وشققت صفو تهجد وتعبد

    O you who walk steadfast of heart, as though summoned by the one who promises, not the one who threatens.

    O you who knew God through reason, and pierced the serenity of night prayer and worship.

  5. أقسمت يامحمود أنك ملحد بقرار مختل العقيدة ملحد

    جلادك استأنى فلما جئته مستبسلا في هيكل متشدد

    I swore, O Mahmoud, that you were an 'atheist' by decree of an atheist of deranged faith.

    Your executioner took his time; then, when you came to him, fearless in an unyielding frame,

  6. روعته فتلاحقت أنفاسه كالواجف المتخوف المتردد

    قاضيك ما وعظته سنك فانتهى لخسيسة من فكره المتبلد

    you terrified him, and his breaths came fast, like one trembling, fearful and hesitant.

    Your judge took no warning from your age, and resorted to a vile deed born of his dulled mind.

  7. ولقد عجبت لقاتل لما يزل يهوى الطريق به يروح ويقتدي

    ان القصاص دم يسيل على دم ويد تقطع في المقابل من يد

    And I marveled at a killer who still loves the path he travels and follows.

    Indeed, retribution is blood flowing upon blood, and one hand cut off by another in return.

  8. ان تقتلوه فذاك عدل شريعة عن صادق في وحيه عن أحمد

    جاروا على الاسلام باسم شريعة من وضع ذي قرنين مأجور اليد

    If you kill him, that is the justice of a law from one truthful in his revelation—from Ahmad.

    They wronged Islam in the name of a law devised by a two-horned man with a mercenary hand.

  9. هم سخروه لغاية مشبوهة وهل الهدى اكراه من لم يهتد

    الا بهديهم المريب وسطوة وثب القضاة بها غلاظ الأكبد

    They harnessed it to a dubious purpose; is guidance coercing one who has found no guidance

    except through their suspect guidance and the force with which hard-hearted judges pounced?

  10. لا يسفه الاسلام الا مشرك ولأنت أنبل مؤمن وموحد

    أبدا هو الاسلام دين محبة وسماحة وتراحم وتودد

    Only a polytheist disparages Islam; you are indeed the noblest believer and monotheist.

    Forever, Islam is a religion of love, tolerance, mutual compassion and affection.

  11. ياللرجال من البعيد مقربا أسفا ويالك من قريب مبعد

    الأسد تثبت في اللقاء ضراوة أما الهروب فغاية المستأسد

    O men! How the distant one is brought near by sorrow; alas for you, so near yet sent far away!

    Lions stand firm and fierce in battle; as for flight, it is the would-be lion's goal.

  12. ولقد ثبت وجاء يوم هروبهم وتهددوا في المأمن المتهدد

    And indeed you stood firm; the day of their flight came, and they made threats in a refuge itself under threat.
