تقول بنيّ الجائعون أما ترى
من الجوع شكوانا لكلّ فريق
She says, “My sons are hungry—do you not see
how hunger makes us voice our complaint to every faction?”
وقد كنتُ ذا نظمٍ وسعي ببرّنا
فلم جئت من هذا وذا بدقيق
You were once a poet, striving to care for us—
why, then, did you come from this man and that bearing flour?
عليكَ بأبواب الإمام محمد
تجد فرجاً منها لكلّ مضيق
Betake yourself to the doors of Imam Muhammad:
there you will find relief for everyone in straits.
وما هي إلا بيت مالٍ لطالب
ونصرة آمال ونجح طريق
They are nothing but a public treasury for the seeker,
the support of hopes and the success of a quest.
Sol 5.6
