Claude 2

  1. أيا ملكاً أفنى العداة حسامه

    ومنتجعاً أقنى العفاة ابتسامه

    O king who destroys his enemies with his sword

    And pleases the virtuous with his smile

  2. لقاؤك يوماً في الزمان سعادةٌ

    فكيف بثاوٍ في حماك حمامه

    Meeting you one day is happiness

    So being with you often is like a hot bath

  3. وعبدك شاكٍ دينه وهو شاكرٌ

    نداك الذي يغني الغمام غمامه

    Your servant complains of his religion yet is thankful

    For your voice that makes the clouds thunder

  4. ولي فرسٌ أصماه سهمٌ فردّه

    أثافيّ ربعٍ بالثلاث قيامه

    I have a horse that was struck by an arrow and startled

    A three year old reddish horse with a saddle and reins

  5. تعمر فيه بالجراحة ساحة

    وعطّل منه سرجه ولجامه

    In it is a battlefield full of wounds

    Its saddle and reins are disabled

  6. أتينا لما عوّدتنا من مكارمٍ

    يلوذ بها الراجي فيشفى غرامه

    We came for the virtues you taught us

    That the hopeful can seek refuge and cure his love sickness

  7. فرحماك غوثٌ لا يغيب نصيره

    ونعماك غيثٌ لا يغبّ انسجامه

    So have mercy on us, you are help that does not disappear for your allies

    And your blessings are rain that does not cease to fall gently
