Sol 6.1

  1. أَقامَ عَلى عَهدِ النَبِيِّ وَهَديِهِ

    حَوارِيُّهُ وَالقَولُ بِالفِعلِ يُعدَلُ

    He remained true to the Prophet's covenant and guidance—

    his devoted disciple; words are weighed against deeds.

  2. أَقامَ عَلى مِنهاجِهِ وَطَريقِهِ

    يُوالي وَلِيَّ الحَقِّ وَالحَقُّ أَعدَلُ

    He held fast to his way and his path,

    loyal to the ally of truth—and truth is most just.

  3. هُوَ الفارِسُ المَشهورُ وَالبَطَلُ الَّذي

    يَصولُ إِذا ما كانَ يَومٌ مُحَجَّلُ

    He is the renowned horseman and the hero who

    charges whenever a momentous battle-day comes.

  4. إِذا كَشَفَت عَن ساقِها الحَربُ حَشَّها

    بِأَبيَضَ سَبّاقٍ إِلى المَوتِ يَرفُلُ

    When war bares her shank, he stokes her fire

    with a gleaming sword, racing toward death as he strides proudly.

  5. وَإِنَّ اِمرَأً كانَت صَفِيَّةُ أُمُّهُ

    وَمِن أَسَدٍ في بَيتِها لَمُرَفَّلُ

    And surely a man whose mother was Safiyyah,

    and who is of Asad's noble house, is exalted indeed.

  6. لَهُ مِن رَسولِ اللَهِ قُربى قَريبَةٌ

    وَمِن نُصرَةِ الإِسلامِ مَجدٌ مُؤَثَّلُ

    He has close kinship with the Messenger of God,

    and, from supporting Islam, deeply rooted glory.

  7. فَكَم كُربَةٍ جَلّى الزُبَيرُ بِنَفسِهِ

    عَنِ المُصطَفى وَاللَهُ يُعطي فَيُجزِلُ

    How many a distress al-Zubayr himself dispelled

    from the Chosen One—and God gives, and gives abundantly.

  8. فَلا مِثلُهُ فيهِم وَلا كانَ قَبلَهُ

    وَلَيسَ يَكونُ الدَهرَ ما دامَ يَذبُلُ

    So none among them is his equal, nor was there one before him,

    nor will there ever be, as long as Yadhbul endures.

  9. ثَناؤُكَ خَيرٌ مِن فَعالِ مَعاشِرٍ

    وَفِعلُكَ يا اِبنَ الهاشِمِيَّةِ أَفضَلُ

    Praise of you is better than the deeds of many men,

    and your deeds, O son of the Hashimite woman, are better still.
