Claude 2

  1. أمَولاَيَ الَّذِي آوِي بِهِ فِي

    سُمُومِ الحَادِثَاتِ إلَى مَقِيلِ

    My refuge in whom I take shelter from

    The poisons of adversities to rest,

  2. وَجَدتُكَ فِي ذَوِي المُلكِ اعتِدَالاً

    وَخِصباً كَالرَّبِيعِ مِنَ الفُصُولِ

    I found you among the kings, moderation

    And fertile as the spring among seasons.

  3. نَدَى ابنِكَ مِن نَدَاكَ بِلاَ امتِرَاءٍ

    فَإنَّ العَيثَ أصلٌ للِسُّيُولِ

    The dew of your son from your dew without contention

    For ravines are the origin of floods.

  4. وَأنتَ أضأتَنِي وَالنَّاسُ لَيلٌ

    وَجُدتَ عَلَيَّ فِي الزَّمَنِ البَخِيلِ

    You gave me drink while people were in night

    You were generous to me in the stingy time.

  5. وَلَم يَكُ مَكسَبِي لَولاَكَ إلاَّ

    لُجَينَ الصُّبحِ أو ذَهَبَ الأصِيلِ

    And my livelihood were not for you, but

    The bioluminescence of dawn or gone game.

  6. وَكَم قَد أضرَمَ الحُسَّادُ نَاراً

    عَلَىَّ رَدَدتَهَا نَارَ الخَلِيلِ

    And how much the envious ignited a fire

    You repelled it by the fire of Khalil.

  7. سَدَدتَ مَفَاقِرِي وَشَدَدتَ رُكنِي

    بِعِزَّةِ نَاصِرٍ وَنَدىً مُنِيلِ

    You reinforced my weak points and strengthened my pillar

    With the honor of a supporter and a pouring aid.

  8. فَأنتَ النَّجمُ يَحرُسُ مَا يَلِيهِ

    وَيَكشِفُ نوءُهُ مَسَّ المُحُولِ

    You are the star that guards what precedes it

    And its misfortune reveals the disappeared.

  9. فَأرجِعُ مِن حِمَاكَ إلَى نُجُودٍ

    وَأمرَحُ مِن هِبَاتِكَ فِي سُهُولِ

    So I return from your bounty to grace

    And I roam from your gifts in plains.

  10. وَأسكُنُ مِنكَ فِي جَبَلٍ مَنِيعٍ

    وَأرعَى مِنكَ فِي رَوضٍ بَلِيلِ

    And I reside from you on an impervious mountain

    And I graze from you in an arid meadow.

  11. فَبُردُ الحَقّ مَطرُوزُ الحَوَاشِي

    وَدِرعُ الأمنِ سَابِغَةُ الذُّيُولِ

    The coolness of truth is raining peripheries

    And the dress of safety has long hems.

  12. لأنتَ المَنزِلُ المَعمُورُ مَجداً

    وَكُلُّ النَّاسِ دُونَكَ كَالطُّلُولِ

    You are the inhabited glory residence

    And all the people below you are like hills.

  13. إلَى ابنِ خَلاصٍ اغتَربَت رِكَابِي

    فأسلاَنِي نَدَاهُ عَنِ القُفُولِ

    My ride missed to the son of salvation

    So his dew distracted me from stopping.

  14. هُوَ الحَسَنُ الَّذِي بَدَّلتُ أرضِي

    بِظِلّ جَنَاحِهِ خَيرَ البَدِيلِ

    He is the beauty for which I substituted

    My land for the shade of his wing, the best alternative,

  15. وَيُغنِينِي عَنِ الأهل انتِصَابِي

    لِخِدمته ونائِلِهِ الجَزِيل

    And suffice me from family, my dedication

    To serve him and his abundant reward.
