حبيبٌ لو أنّ الأرضَ تخبرُ بالذى
بها منه شوقاً للورى حسدوا الأرضَا
My beloved—if the earth could tell of what lies
within her: longing for him—humankind would envy the earth.
ولو أنّ جناتِ النبيين خُيِّرتْ
به وبهم قسْما لقالتْ بِه أَرْضَى
And if the Gardens of Bliss were offered a choice
between him and humankind—I swear—they would say, “Be content with him.”
ومن تَاهَت الدنيا على أهلها به
كعيسى نبىِّ اللَّهِ تُشْفَى به المرضَى
And the one through whom the world strutted proudly before its own people,
like Jesus, God’s prophet: through him the sick are healed.
Sol 5.6
