Sol 6.1

  1. مَيتُ أُنسي يأتيهِ بالوصل روحُ

    طيبةٌ طبّةٌ وطهَ المسيحُ

    My lifeless joy receives a soul through reunion;

    Taybah is a healer, and Taha the Messiah.

  2. طالَ شَوقي إِلى الحبيبِ وقد بر

    رَحَ بي مِن بعادهِ التبريحُ

    My yearning for the beloved has lasted long, and

    the anguish of his absence has sorely tormented me.

  3. كَم تجلّى في النومِ لي ليسَ عن حق

    قي وَلكنّه الكريم السموحُ

    How often he has appeared to me in sleep—not by any right

    of mine, but because he is generous and bountiful.

  4. وَمَضت مدّةٌ عميتُ فلم أن

    ظُر سَناه ومنه في الكون يوحُ

    And a time passed when I was blind and did not

    see his radiance—and from him the universe has its sun.

  5. سيّد الرسلِ أنتَ أكرم خل

    قِ اللَّه أنتَ المحمّد الممدوحُ

    Master of the messengers, you are the noblest of

    God's creation; you are Muhammad, the praised.

  6. أَنا أَدري بأنّي لستُ أهلاً

    غيرَ أنّي على نداكم طريحُ

    I know that I am unworthy,

    yet I lie prostrate upon your bounty.

  7. طارَ أُنسي وطالَ تَعسي وما لل

    قلبِ إلّا بقربكم تفريحُ

    My joy has flown, my misery has lasted long; for the

    heart, there is no gladness except in nearness to you.

  8. كَم أُمورٍ قد أحزَنتنيَ لا تخ

    فاكَ ما لي لِمتنهنّ شروحُ

    How many matters have grieved me—none hidden

    from you; I have no commentaries on their substance.

  9. أنتَ أَدرى بها وَبي مِن ضميري

    أنتَ روحي بل أنتَ للروح روحُ

    You know them and me better than my innermost self.

    You are my soul—rather, you are the soul of the soul.

  10. أَنا لا أَشتكي لِغيركَ أمري

    وَبسرّي إِلى السِوى لا أبوحُ

    I complain of my plight to none but you,

    and I reveal my secret to no one else.
