Sol 6.1

  1. يا ناحِلَ الأجزاءِ من طولِ الضَّنى

    ومتيمَّ الأحشاءِ من حرِّ الهَوى

    O one whose limbs are wasted by long sickness,

    And whose inmost heart is enslaved by passion’s heat,

  2. وموكلاً بالحزنِ آنسَ طرفَهُ

    أنسُ الدُّموعِ بهِ وأوحشَهُ الكَرَى

    And who is given over to sorrow—his eye was comforted

    By the companionship of tears, while sleep left it desolate.

  3. ظفِرَ الغليلُ بقلبهِ فأذابهُ

    حُزناً وألبسَ جسمَهُ ثوبَ البلى

    Burning longing seized his heart and melted it

    With grief, and clothed his body in the robe of decay.

  4. وليذهَبنَّ زفيرهُ بعزائهِ

    بالشوقِ حتَّى لا يُحسّ ولا يرَى

    And his sighing will surely carry away his fortitude

    Through longing, until he neither feels nor sees.
