Sol 6.1

  1. أَلا مَن لِعَينٍ لاتَرى صائِباً وَلا

    وادِيَ الطَرفاءِ إِلّا إِستَهَلَّتِ

    Ah, who will help an eye that never sees Ṣāʾib or

    the valley of al-Ṭarfāʾ without weeping

  2. بِماءٍ لَو أَنَّ المُزنَ جادَت بِمِثلِهِ

    رَضينا بِما جادَت بِهِ مَن تَوَلَّتِ

    tears such that, were the rain clouds to pour their like,

    we would be content with what she who turned away bestowed?

  3. وَلِلعَينِ فَيضاتٌ إِذا ماذَكَرتُها

    وَلِلصدرِ بَلبالٌ إِذا العَينُ كَلَّتِ

    And the eye overflows whenever I remember her,

    and the breast is in turmoil when the eye grows weary.
