Claude 2

  1. نادَيتُ أَقضِيَةَ اللَهِ الَّتي سَلَفَت

    إِنَّ المَعالِيَ بَذَّتَها مَعاليها

    I called on the decrees of God that came before

    Indeed glories have wasted their glories

  2. وَضَعتُ نَفسي فَعاليها عَلى قَتَبٍ

    مِنَ الغِنى يُعرِفُ الجَدوى فَعاليها

    I put myself in their actions on a quiver

    Of wealth, its usefulness is known through its actions

  3. نَوائِبُ الدَهرِ تَستَقري غَرائِزَها

    حَتّى تَرى كَحَواليها خَواليها

    The turns of fate settle their hidden natures

    Until you see its surroundings like its family

  4. أَمّا نِبالُ المَنايا فَهيَ مُصمِيَةٌ

    فَما نِبالُ مَقالٍ لا أُباليها

    As for the arrows of death, they are intent

    So I do not care about the arrows of saying

  5. لا تَمنَعُ الغادَةَ الحَسناءَ نِعمَتُها

    وَأَن تَقومَ حَوالَيها حَواليها

    Beauty’s gift does not prevent her blessings

    And that her surroundings stand around her

  6. وَما تُفيدُ الغَواني مِن لَآليها

    نَفَعاً إِذا جاءَ كَيدٌ مِن لَياليها

    And the loves do not benefit from her nights

    A benefit when cunning comes from her nights

  7. وَلَم تَجِدني طُغاةُ الناسِ في طَمَعٍ

    حَتّى تَعيشَ أَواليها أُواليها

    And the tyrants of people did not find me hoping

    That her first ones live their first ones

  8. جَماعَةُ القَومِ جَدَّت في تَناظُرِها

    كَعانَةِ الوَحشِ جَدَّت في تَغاليها

    The group of people were harsh in their viewing

    Like the misery of the beast they were harsh in their transcendence

  9. حَقٌّ عَلى أَنفُسٍ مِنهُم تَكالُؤُها

    فَقَد يُخافُ عَلَيها مِن تَكاليها

    A right over themselves is their coming together

    So it is feared for them from their coming together

  10. بَطنُ البَسيطَةِ أَعفى مِن ظَواهِرِها

    فَوَسِّعا لِيَ أَهرُب مِن سَعاليها

    The belly of the desert is more barren than its surfaces

    So expand for me so I can escape its coughing

  11. وَما تَزالُ دَواليها نَوائِبَها

    فَمِن شِدادِ خُطوبٍ أَو دَواليها

    And its states do not cease their turns

    So from severe afflictions or states

  12. وَقَد أَطَلتُ وِصاليها عَلى سُخُطٍ

    مِنّي يَسِيّانِ غَرقاها وَصاليها

    And I have prolonged its connection in anger

    From me, its two abysses and connection run

  13. وَما اِستَراحَ لَعَمري مِن سَوائِلِها

    إِذا طَغى مائُها إِلّا سَواليها

    And my life has no rest from its questioning

    When its water has flooded except its questioning
