O you, the sun—not that its rising
Is above the sky; and this is a time for restraint.
لماwhen اِفتَصدتَyou underwent bloodletting قَضيناwe felt لِلعُلىat eminence عَجباًwonder
لما اِفتَصدتَ قَضينا لِلعُلى عَجباً

وَما حَسِبتُ ذِراعَ الشَمسِ يُفتَصدُ
When you were bled, we marveled at your eminence,
And I had not thought the sun's arm could be bled.
Sol 6.1
