Sol 6.1

  1. سَأَلتُ قُرَيشاً فَقَد خَبَّروا

    وَكُلُّ قُرَيشٍ بِكُم عالِمُ

    I asked Quraysh, and they indeed told me;

    And all Quraysh knows about you.

  2. فَقالَت قُرَيشٌ وَلَم يَكذِبوا

    وَقَولُ قُرَيشٍ لَكُم لازِمُ

    So Quraysh said—and they did not lie—

    And Quraysh's word is binding upon you:

  3. عَبيدٌ قُيونٌ إِذا حُصِّلوا

    أَبوكُم لَدى كيرِهِ جاثِمُ

    Slaves and smiths, when closely examined;

    Your father crouches beside his bellows.

  4. فَسائِل هِشاماً إِذا جِئتَهُ

    وَخِرقَةُ عَيبٌ لَكُم دائِمُ

    So ask Hisham when you come to him;

    And Khirqah is a perpetual blemish upon you.

  5. أَطَبخُ الإِهالَةِ أَم حَقنُها

    فَأَنفُكَ مِن ريحِها وارِمُ

    Is it cooking the fat, or storing it in a skin?

    For your nose is swollen from its smell.

  6. وَجَمرَةُ عارٌ لَكُم ثابِتٌ

    فَقَلبُكَ مِن ذِكرِها واجِمُ

    And Jamrah is an enduring disgrace to you;

    So your heart falls silent in dismay at her mention.
