Sol 6.1

  1. شَهِدَ الحُطَيأَةُ يَومَ يَلقى رَبَّهُ

    أَنَّ الوَليدَ أَحَقُّ بِالعُذرِ

    Al-Hutay’ah bears witness, on the day he meets his Lord,

    that al-Walid is more entitled to be excused.

  2. خَلَعوا عِنانَكَ إِذ جَرَيتَ وَلَو

    تَرَكوا عِنانَكَ لَم تَزَل تَجري

    They took away your reins as you ran; had

    they left your reins alone, you would have kept running.

  3. وَرَأَوا شَمائِلَ ماجِدٍ أُنُفٍ

    يُعطي عَلى المَيسورِ وَالعُسرِ

    And they saw the traits of a proud, noble man,

    who gives in prosperity and hardship.

  4. فَنُزِعتَ مَكذوباً عَلَيكَ وَلَم

    تَنزِع إِلى طَمَعٍ وَلا فَقرِ

    So you were removed, with lies told against you, though you never

    inclined toward greed or poverty.

  5. شَهِدَ الحُطَيئَةُ حينَ يَلقى رَبَّهُ

    أَنَّ الوَليدَ أَحَقُّ بِالعُذرِ

    Al-Hutay’ah bears witness, when he meets his Lord,

    that al-Walid is more entitled to be excused.

  6. نادى وَقَد كَمُلَت صَلاتُهُمُ

    أَأَزيدُكُم ثَمِلاً وَما يَدري

    He called out, when their prayer was complete,

    “Shall I give you more?”—drunk and unaware—

  7. لِيَزيدَهُم خَيراً وَلَو قَبِلوا

    لَقَرَنتَ بَينَ الشَفعِ وَالوِترِ

    to give them more good; and had they accepted,

    you would surely have joined the even and the odd.

  8. فَأَبَوا أَبا وَهَبٍ وَلَو فَعَلوا

    زادَت صَلاتُهُمُ عَلى العَشرِ

    But they refused, O Abu Wahb; and had they done so,

    their prayer would have exceeded ten.

  9. كَفّوا عِنانَكَ إِذ جَرَيتَ وَلَو

    خَلَّوا عِنانَكَ لَم تَزَل تَجري

    They held back your reins as you ran; had

    they let your reins loose, you would have kept running.
