Why do rhymes not alight

لا فض فوك

1. Why do rhymes not alight
And bow from the neck's bloom

١. وَلِمَ القَوَافِي لا تَحُطُّ رِحَالَها
وتَخرّ مِنْ زَهْوٍ إِلَى الأعْنَاقِ

2. If a pearl comes to you, circling her neck
A gem and the beauty of noble manners

٢. إنْ تَأتِكُمْ صَدَرَتْ يُطَوِّقُ جِيدَهَا
دُرٌّ، وحُسْنُ مَكارمِ الأَخْلاقِ

3. O poetry, do you complain while Salih is between us
He quenches your rhymes, what a great cupbearer

٣. يَا شِعْرُ هَلْ تَشكُو وَصَالِحُ بَيْنَنا!
يَرْوِي قَوَافِيكَ فَنِعْمَ السَّاقِي

4. Tell Solomon the Wise and his troops
That our Salih has dived into the depths

٤. بَلِّغْ سُليّمانَ الْحَكِيم، وجُنْدَهُ
أنْ غَاصَ صَالِحُنَا إِلَى الأعماقِ

5. He came with every precious hidden
In his chest, overwhelming horizons

٥. فَأَتَى بِكُلِّ نَفِيسةٍ مَكْنونَةٍ
في صَدْرِهِ، فَطَغَتْ عَلَى الآفَاقِ

6. O poet, do I see you composing a balm
Or is it lyrics and the softness of the gentle

٦. يَا شَاعِرَاً أَتُرَاكَ تَنْظِمُ بَلْسَمَاً
أَمْ ذِيْ تَرَانِيمٌ وَرَقْيُ الرَّاقِي!

7. Or is it your amulets, I do not think so
Except to protect poetry from extinction

٧. أَمْ ذِيْ تَمَائِمُكُمْ فَلَسْتُ أَخَالُهَا
إِلاّ لِصَوْنِ الشِّعْرِ مِنْ إِمْلاقِ

8. You have gifted the gathering with your pearls
So you have deserved thanks as your right

٨. أَتْحَفْتُمُ جَمْعَ الْحُضُورِ بِدُرِّكُمْ
فَظَفِرْتُمُ بِالشُّكْرِ باسْتِحْقَاقِ

9. O well of Saba, O lion's den
O banner that persisted on shining

٩. يَا بِئْرَ سَبُعٍ، يَا عَرِينَ أشَاوِسٍ
يَا رَايَةً دَأَبَتْ عَلَى الإِشْرَاقِ

10. Are you not the cradle of Al-Khalil, his well
Its cool water still flows

١٠. أَفَلَسْتُمُ مَهْدَ الْخَلِيلِ، فَبِئْرُهُ
لا زَالَ يُؤْتَي مَاؤُهُ الرَّقْرَاقِ

11. Beauty has made the disobedient fall in your land
And singing is yours, the passion of lovers

١١. فَالْحُسْنُ قَدْ أَلْقَى العَصَاةَ بِأَرْضِكُمْ
وَالغِيدُ عِنْدَكُمُ، هَوَى العُشَّاقِ

12. And poetry smells of wine when it flows
From the valley of your poet on the leaves

١٢. وَالشِّعْرُ يَعْبقُ بِالرَّحِيقِ إِذَا جَرَى
مِنْ وَادِ شَاعِرِكُمْ عَلَى الأوْرَاقِ

13. Bestow your generous gifts! For poetry is in agony
No longer as sweet as yesterday

١٣. أَجْزِلْ عَطَاءَكَ ‍‍! فَالقَرِيضُ بِمِحْنَةٍ
مَا عَادَ مِثْلَ الأَمْسِ عَذْبَ مَذَاقِ

14. When people set out for it who cared
Only for it or for spilled blood

١٤. حِيَن انْبَرَى لِلْشِّعْرِ قَوْمٌ مَا رَعَوا
إِلاًّ لَهُ، أَوْ لِلدَمِ الْمِهْرَاقِ(1)

15. Arise O son of kin and incline addressing
Healing the wounds of poetry with first aid

١٥. قُمْ يَا ابْنَ رَهَطٍ وَانْثَنِي مُتَصَدِّيَاً
دَاوِيْ جِرَاحَ الشِّعْرِ بِالتِرْيَاقِ

16. Show them that poetry is feelings
And virtues, and the skill of the proficient

١٦. وَأَرِيهُمُ أَنَّ القَرِيضَ مَشَاعِرٌ
وَمَكَارِمٌ، وَمَهَارَةُ الْحُذَّاقِ

17. No eloquence of yours is wasted or a pulpit closed for you
O delight of ears and sights

١٧. لا فُضَّ فُوكَ، وَلا انْطَوَى لَكَ مِنْبَرٌ
يَا مُتْعَةَ الآذَانِ، وَالأحْدَاقِ
