Sol 6.1

  1. لِبَنِي مُهَنّا بَعدَ مَصرَعِ فارسٍ

    مُهَجٌ أَسالَ دِماءَها سَهمُ القَضا

    The sons of Muhanna, after Faris’s death, have

    hearts whose blood the arrow of fate has spilled.

  2. ركنٌ بكَتهُ بَنُو الجَريديني وَقَد

    أَمسى بِعاصفةِ المَنونِ مَقوَّضَا

    A pillar the sons of al-Jaridini mourned, now

    laid low by the tempest of death.

  3. وَلَقَد مَضى نَحوَ النَعيم فَنالَ ما

    غَرَسَتهُ أَيدي بَره فيما مَضى

    And indeed he passed on toward bliss and attained what

    the hands of his benevolence had planted in days gone by.

  4. وَلذا نَسيمُ العَرشِ كُلّ صَبيحةٍ

    أَرِّخ يَهُبُّ عَلى ثَراهُ بِالرِضَى

    And so the breeze of the Throne, each morning—

    mark the date—blows upon his grave’s soil with favor.
