أَبا الوَردِ أَبقى اللَهُ مِنها بَقِيَّةً
كَفَت كُلَّ لَوّامٍ حَسودٍ وَخاذِلِ
O Abu al-Ward, God has left a remnant of it,
which sufficed for every envious faultfinder and deserter.
تَدُقُّ الغَضا وَالأَثلَ دَقّاً فَلَم تَدَع
أُصولاً وَلا مُستَنبَتاً دونَ قابِلِ
It pounds the ghada trees and tamarisks to pieces, leaving
no roots or place for growth before the coming year.
Sol 6.1
