Sol 6.1

  1. هَذا عَزيزُ بَني الجَلادِ قَد فَتَكَت

    بِهِ المَنايا بِيَومٍ غَيرِ مَحسوبِ

    This beloved of Banu al-Jallad has been struck down

    by death on an unforeseen day.

  2. عَن أَربَعٍ وَثَلاثينَ اِنقَضَت أَسَفاً

    أَيامَهُ لَم يَفُز مِنها بِمَرغوبِ

    At thirty-four, alas, they came to an end—

    his days, from which he had gained nothing he desired.

  3. وَغادرَ الأَهلَ بَعد العُرسِ نائِحُهُ

    لِفَجعةٍ قلَّ فيها صَبرُ أَيُّوبِ

    And after the wedding he left his family mourning him,

    at a calamity before which even Job's patience would falter.

  4. وقد شَجا أَكبُداً أَرِّخ بِحُرقَتِها

    مِن بَعدِ يَعقوبَ قاست حُزنَ يَعقوبِ

    And he has grieved hearts—mark the date by their burning:

    After Yaqub, they endured the grief of Jacob.
