Sol 6.1

  1. هلّا اِتّخذت إلى الرسولِ سَبيلا

    فَتُشاهدَ المأمونَ والمأمولا

    Why not take a path to the Messenger,

    and behold the trusted one, the one in whom hopes are placed?

  2. وَتَرى هنالكَ طيبةً مجلوّةً

    وَبِرأسها من نورهِ إكليلا

    And see Taybah there, unveiled in splendor,

    and upon her head a crown of his light.

  3. بَلدٌ به شمسُ النبوّة أشرَقت

    دامَت ولم ترَ في الوجود أفولا

    A city where the sun of prophethood has risen;

    it has endured and known no setting in existence.

  4. بَلدٌ به بحرُ الشريعةِ قَد طَما

    عمَّ البسيطةَ عرضَها والطولا

    A city where the sea of sacred law has overflowed,

    encompassing the earth in its breadth and length.

  5. بَلدٌ به ذاتُ النبيّ محمّدٍ

    كَم جابرت بلقائِها جبريلا

    A city where the very person of the Prophet Muhammad

    has so often comforted Gabriel by meeting him.

  6. في مكّةٍ جهلوا عليه وأهلها

    ما كانَ فيهم قدرهُ مَجهولا

    In Mecca they acted insolently toward him, though its people

    were not ignorant of his worth.

  7. أَكرِم بأنصارِ النبيّ محمّدٍ

    أُسداً وأكرِم بالمدينة غيلا

    How noble the Helpers of the Prophet Muhammad—

    lions! And how noble Medina, their thicket!

  8. أَكرِم بكلّ الصحبِ لم نسمع لهم

    بِجميعِ صحبِ الأنبياء مثيلا

    How noble all the Companions! We have never heard of their having

    an equal among all the companions of the prophets.

  9. بُغض الأسافلِ لم ينقِّص فَضلهم

    بَل زادَهم بين الورى تَفضيلا

    The hatred of the ignoble has not diminished their merit;

    rather, it has increased their distinction among humankind.

  10. إنّ السراجَ إِذا عبثتَ بضوئهِ

    يَزدادُ فيه ضوؤهُ تكميلا

    Indeed, when you tamper with a lamp's light,

    the light within it grows more perfect.
