Sol 5.6

  1. When they exalt their words by praising me,

    my own words, in their proper place, stand firm.

  2. My praise of Adham is no praise of his parents;

    and I bear witness that all of them are base.

  3. Your husband, O world, has longed

    to divorce you before the marriage is consummated.

  4. These days speak to him aloud,

    yet he thinks what they utter is only a whisper.

  5. Exalted is God! Where are Lakhm’s kings?

    They have died away; not a sound remains of them.

  6. I ask my Creator for respite in my allotted sustenance

    when nothing remains to me but the last breath.
