Claude 2

  1. ياعَينِ جودي بِالدُموعِ السُجول

    وَاِبكي عَلى صَخرٍ بِدَمعٍ هَمول

    O eye, be generous with flowing tears

    And weep for a rock with pouring tears

  2. لا تَخذُليني عِندَ جَدِّ البُكا

    فَلَيسَ ذا ياعَينِ وَقتَ الخَذول

    Do not fail me when grief makes me weep

    For this, O eye, is no time for weakness

  3. اِبكي أَبا حَسّانَ وَاِستَعبِري

    عَلى الجَميلِ المُستَضافِ المَخيل

    Weep for Abu Hassân and let flow

    For the beautiful guest who camps

  4. نِعمَ أَخو الشَتوَةِ حَلَّت بِهِ

    أَرامِلُ الحَيِّ غَداةَ البَليل

    How good a brother of valor he was

    Widows of the tribe came to him at dawn

  5. يَأتينَهُ مُستَعصِماتٍ بِهِ

    يُعلِنَّ في الدارِ بِدَعوى الأَليل

    Announcing their claim to him in the house

    And how good a neighbor he was in times

  6. وَنِعمَ جارُ القَومِ في أَزمَةٍ

    إِذا اِلتَجا الناسُ بِجارٍ ذَليل

    Of crisis, when people resorted to a weak neighbor

    His face showed his kindness

  7. دَلَّ عَلى مَعروفِهِ وَجهُهُ

    بورِكَ فيهِ هادِياً مِن دَليل

    Blessed was he, a gentle guide

    He did not restrict his grace to himself

  8. لا يَقصِرُ الفَضلَ عَلى نَفسِهِ

    بَل عِندَهُ مَن نابَهُ في فُضول

    But was generous to those who sought his bounty

    People knew him to be

  9. قَد عَرَفَ الناسُ لَهُ أَنَّهُ

    بِالمَنزِلِ الأَتلَعِ غَيرُ الضَئيل

    In the highest abode, no paltry man

    His gifts were plentiful, and his hospitality

  10. عَطاؤُهُ جَزلٌ وَصَولاتُهُ

    صَولاتُ قَرمٍ لِقُرومٍ صَؤول

    The hospitality of a generous man to generous men

    His opinion was wise, and his words

  11. وَرَأيُهُ حُكمٌ وَفي قَولِهِ

    مَواعِظٌ يُذهِبنَ داءَ الغَليل

    Contained advice to cure the sickness of rancor

    He was no niggard to turn his back

  12. لَيسَ بِخَبٍّ مانِعٍ ظَهرَهُ

    لا يَنهَضُ الدَهرَ بِعِبءٍ ثَقيل

    Or bear a heavy burden in this life

    No greedy man, when asked to give

  13. وَلا بِسَعّالٍ إِذا يُجتَدى

    وَضاقَ بِالمَعروفِ صَدرُ السَعول

    And generosity narrowed the breasts of the greedy

    Time has treated me harshly, curse it

  14. قَد راعَني الدَهرُ فَبُؤساً لَهُ

    بِفارِسِ الفُرسانِ وَالخَنشَليل

    For the knight of knights and the agile

    You left me amidst a worthless people

  15. تَرَكتَني وَسطَ بَني عِلَّةٍ

    أَدورُ فيهِم كَاللَعينِ النَقيل

    I wander among them like a shackled captive
