ذَكَرَ العُهودَ فَأَسهَرَ الطَرفَ القَذَيَّ
صَبٌّ بِغَيرِ حَديثِكُم لا يَغتَذي
He recalled the covenants, so he kept awake the twitching eyelid,
My morning draught is not sweetened without your talk.
ذاقَ الهَوى صِرفاً فَأَعقَبَ قَلبَهُ
فِكرَ الصُحاةِ وَسَكرَةَ المُتَنَبِّذِ
He tasted estranged love so it made his heart upset,
He pondered soberness and the intoxication of fermented drinks,
ذَمَّ الهَوى لَمّا تَذَكَّرَ إِلفَهُ
بِالجامِعَينِ وَحَبلَهُ لَم يُجذَذِ
He blamed love when he remembered his intimates,
With both mosques, but his rope was not pulled.
ذَرَّ النَسيمُ عَلَيهِ مِن أَكنافِهِ
نَشرَ العَبيرِ فَشاقَهُ العَرفُ الشَذي
The breeze blew its edges upon him,
It spread fragrance so the delicate branch split him.
ذابَت بِكُم يا أَهلَ بابِلَ مُهجَتي
فَتَنَغَّصَت بِالعَيشِ بَعدَ تَلَذُّذِ
My innermost being melted with you, O people of Babylon,
So my living became distasteful after relishing.
ذَهَبَ الوَفا بَعدَ الصَفاءِ فَما عَدا
وَوَعَدتُموني بِالوِصالِ فَما الَّذي
Loyalty disappeared after cordiality, and nothing remains
And you promised me union, so what happened?
ذَبُلَت غُصونُ الوُدِّ فيما بَينَنا
وَجَرى الَّذي قَد كانَ مِنهُ تَعَوُّذي
The branches of love between us faded,
And what I used to seek refuge from occurred.
ذابَ الكَرى عَن ناظِري بِفُراقِكُم
وَلَكُم جَلَوتُ بِنورِكُم طَرفي القَذي
Regret melted from my eyes due to your separation,
And for you my eyes shine with your light, my delicate ones.
ذَلَّت بِكُم روحي وَكُنتُ مُمَنَّعاً
في صَفوِ عَيشٍ عِزَّهُ لَم يُفلَذِ
My soul weakened due to you, and I used to be immune
In the prime of life whose honor did not wear out.
ذُلٌّ عَلاني وَالعُداةُ عَزيزَةٌ
لَو لَم يَكُن جودُ اِبنِ أَرتَقَ مُنقِذي
My humiliation is open and the enemies are strong
If it were not for the generosity of the son of Artat, my savior.
ذاكَ الَّذي بَسَطَ المُهَيمِنُ كَفَّهُ
في أَنعُمِ الدُنيا وَقالَ لَها خُذي
That's the One the Omnipotent extended His palm,
And said to the life of this world take it.
ذو راحَتَينِ هُما المَنِيَّةُ وَالمُنى
يَسطو بِتِلكَ وَيَبذُلُ النُعمى بِذي
The one with two comforts, which are death and the death place,
With that he takes and gives away boons.
ذاكي العَزائِمِ في جَلابيبِ التُقى
ناشٍ وَمِن ثَديِ الفَضائِلِ يَغتَذي
The one with strong determination in the garments of piety,
Vigilant, and suckling from the breast of virtues.
ذَخَرَت خَزائِنُهُ فَقالَ لَها اِنفِدي
وَذَكَت عَزائِمُهُ فَقالَ لَها اِنفُذي
His treasures are prepared so he said to them spend,
And his determination is aroused so he said to them execute.
ذَلِقُ الفَضائِلِ هَكَذا فَضلُ التُقى
غَدِقُ البِنانِ عَلى الفَصاحَةِ قَد غُذي
Spreading of virtues is the superiority of piety,
Pouring of benefaction on eloquence has been fed.
ذِمَمُ الزَمانِ بِعَدلِهِ مَحفوظَةٌ
فَذِمامُهُ مِن غَيرِهِ لَم يُؤخَذِ
The reigns of time are protected with his justice,
So its reigns from other than him have not been taken.
ذاعَت سَرائِرُ فَضلِهِ بَينَ الوَرى
وَسَما الأَنامُ بِجودِهِ المُستَحوَذِ
The secrets of his virtues spread among mankind,
And people smelled his overpowering generosity.
ذُرَواتُ مَجدٍ لا تُنالُ وَهِمَّةٌ
طالَت فَكادَت لِلكَواكِبِ تَحتَذي
Inaccessible glories of glory, and an ambition
That almost reached the stars desiring them.
ذُخرٌ لَنا في النائِباتِ وَمَلجَأٌ
مَن لَم يَلُذ بِجَنابِهِ لَم يَنفُذِ
He is a reserve for us in tribulations and a refuge
Whoever does not take refuge in his side cannot penetrate.
ذِكري لَهُ راعَ الخُطوبَ لِأَنَّني
مِن كَيدِها بِسِواهُ لَم أَتَعَوَّذِ
My mention of him repelled the calamities of fate,
Because, other than him, I have never sought refuge.
ذَهَلَت صُروفُ الدَهرِ مِنهُ فَلَم تَجِد
نَحوي لِأَسهُمِ كَيدِها مِن مَنفَذِ
The turns of fate were confused by him, so they could not find
A way to me for its arrows, an outlet.
ذُعِرَ الزَمانُ وَقالَ هَل مِن عاصِمٍ
مِنهُ أَلوذُ بِهِ فَقُلتُ لَهُ لُذِ
Time was scared and said, "Is there a protector
From it that I can seek refuge with?" So I said, "Take refuge!"
ذَرعَنكَ نَجمَ الدينِ أَشباحَ العِدى
وَعَلى صَميمِ قُلوبِهِم فَاِستَحوِذِ
You repelled the phantoms of enemies from the star of religion,
And overpower their innermost hearts.
ذَكِّر بِهِم سَهمَ القَضاءِ فَإِنَّهُ
بِسِوى الَّذي تَختارُهُ لَم يَنفُذِ
Remind the arrow of destiny, for it
Does not penetrate except what you choose.
ذَلَّلتَ أَعناقَ الطُغاةِ بِصارِمٍ
بِسِوى الجَماجِمِ حَدُّهُ لَم يُشحَذِ
You subjugated the necks of tyrants with a sword
Whose edge, other than heads, has not been sharpened.
ذَكِّر إِذا شَكَتِ الظِما شَفَراتُهُ
في غَيرِ يَمِّ دِمائِهِم لَم يُنبَذِ
When its blade complains of being blunt, remind it
That it has not been whetted except in their blood.
ذا السَعيُ قَد قَرَّت بِهِ عَينُ الوَرى
فَالمُلكُ يَزهو زِهوَةَ المُتَلَذِّذِ
His endeavor has pleased the eyes of all people,
So the kingdom is luminous with the splendor of one who relishes.
ذُرتَ الزَمانَ عَلى الطُغاةِ وَقَد طَغى
وَجَلَوتَ طَرفَ المَكرُماتِ وَقَد قَذي
You spread time upon the tyrants while it was excessive
And you stared at the horizon of favors while it was delicate.
ذَوِيَت عِداكَ وَلا بَرِحتَ مُنعِماً
عَن رِفدِ طُلّابِ النَدى لَم تُجذَذِ
Your enemies spent the night while you did not cease to bestow favor
Upon the students of dew, your rope was not pulled.
