Sol 6.1

  1. So none but Ghalib brought his ancestral honors to light,

    Racing with both reins of every bright-faced, bountiful man.

  2. And had Saydan accepted my oath from me,

    With it I would have satisfied the claims of Damdam's clan.

  3. I would surely have given, standing, what would satisfy Hubayra,

    Of what was openly declared, plain to us, and what was veiled.

  4. And I was like one held to account for his people's misdeeds,

    So that one guiltless of them might put them right.

  5. But when the peacemakers are defied

    By an ally, counsel has no way forward.
