Sol 6.1

  1. إني إلى طلعتِهِ شيِّقُ

    واللفظُ عنْ أوصافِهِ ضيِّقُ

    Indeed, I yearn for his countenance;

    and words are too narrow to encompass his qualities.

  2. فَهْوَ مِنَ البيتِ الرفيعِ الذي

    ما قيلَ عنْ إحسانِهِ صدَّقوا

    For he is of that exalted house whose

    members have borne out all that is said of its beneficence.

  3. هذا حسامٌ بيدِ اللهِ قدْ

    تاهَ على الغربِ بهِ المشرقُ

    This is a sword in God's hand; indeed,

    through him the East has vaunted itself over the West.

  4. قلوبُ كلِّ الناسِ في أسرهم

    قيَّدَها جودُهُم المطلَقُ

    The hearts of all people are their captives;

    their unbounded bounty has bound them.

  5. فإن أتى الدهر بفتقٍ يَقُلْ

    جدهمُ العالي أنا أرتقُ

    And if Time brings a tear, then speaks

    their exalted fortune: "I shall mend it."
