يَا أُهَيْلَ الحَيِّ مِنْ ذَاكَ الحِمَى
أَنْتُمُ المَقْصُودُ مِنْ كُلِّ الوُجُودْ
O dear people of the dwelling in that sanctuary,
You are the aim of all existence.
ظَبْيُّ أَبْيَاتِكُمُ ذَاكَ الَّذي
لاَ تَسَلْ مَا حَلَّ مِنْهُ بالأُسُودْ
That gazelle among your tents is the one—
Do not ask what befell the lions at his hands.
وَسَقِيمُ الجَفْنِ قَدْ صَحَّ لَهُ
سُنَّةُ المَنْعِ وَإِبْطَالُ الوُعُودْ
And for the one with languid eyelids, there is firmly established
The custom of withholding and breaking promises.
Sol 6
