Sol 6.1

  1. Radiant and awe-inspiring, his exploits make us forget

    Siffin and the Camel, in generosity and combat.

  2. Nursed by the two hands of glory, reclining

    In the lap of noble virtues, weaned from miserliness.

  3. Sharper than the sword in speech, with no stammering

    To overtake him if one in need resorts to excuses.

  4. And to one who asked me about your bounty, I said:

    To detail it is impossible; be content with the outline.

  5. This is the last residue of what my two hands have left, and already

    I have known their ill fortune; so look, and do not ask.

  6. All time, when its governance devolves

    Upon you, is the season when the sun enters Aries.
