Sol 6.1

  1. سَرَت في سَوادِ القَلبِ حَتّى إِذا اِنتَهى

    بِها السَيرُ وَاِرتادَت حِمى القَلبِ حَلَّتِ

    She journeyed through the heart’s darkness until she reached the end

    Of her journey, sought the heart’s sanctuary, and settled there.

  2. فَلِلعَينِ تَهمالٌ إِذا القَلبُ مَلَّها

    وَلِلقَلبِ وِسواسٌ إِذا العَينُ مَلَّتِ

    So the eye streams with tears when the heart tires of her,

    And the heart has restless thoughts when the eye grows weary.

  3. وَوَاللَهِ ما في القَلبِ شَيءٌ مِنَ الهَوى

    لِأُخرى سِواها أَكثَرَت أَم أَقَلَّتِ

    And by God, there is not a trace of love in the heart

    For another woman besides her, whether she does much or little.
