Sol 6.1

  1. أهل المحبة في السرور الدائمِ

    لا يحزنون ولا بلوم اللائمِ

    The people of love dwell in everlasting joy;

    they do not grieve, not even at a censurer's blame.

  2. هم هكذا في هذه الدنيا كما

    هم هكذا في يوم يقظة نائم

    They are thus in this world, just as

    they are thus on the day a sleeper wakes.

  3. لهم الملاح مظاهر الغيب الذي

    هو ظاهرٌ بجمال وجه دائم

    For them, the fair are manifestations of the Unseen, who

    is manifest in the beauty of an enduring face.

  4. يتنعمون به هنا وهناك لا

    يخفى عليهم بالمليح القائم

    They delight in Him here and there; He is not

    hidden from them in the fair one standing there.

  5. أرواحهم كالشمس في أفق السما

    وجسومهم شفافة كغمائم

    Their spirits are like the sun on heaven's horizon,

    and their bodies are translucent as clouds.

  6. هم أهل كشف يفرحون بربهم

    في كل صورة أهيفٍ متلائم

    They are people of unveiling, rejoicing in their Lord

    in every form of a slender, well-proportioned one.

  7. لهم الجمال محققٌ بمحاسنٍ

    تبدو الملاح بها كزهر كمائم

    For them, beauty is realized in lovely features,

    through which the fair appear like blossoms in their sheaths.

  8. ولغيرهم معنى الجلال مظاهر ال

    شهوات تعشقها نفوس بهائم

    And for others, the meaning of majesty takes the forms of the

    desires that the souls of beasts adore.

  9. في هذه الدنيا بذاك تنعموا

    وكذاك في الأخرى كطير حائم

    In this world they have delighted in that,

    and likewise in the next, like a circling bird.

  10. نفس لهم لا روح تعلمهم بمن

    هو نافخ فيهم لنيل غنائم

    Theirs is a self—not a spirit to acquaint them with the One

    who breathes into them—for the gaining of spoils.

  11. لا يعرفون الحظ غير بطونهم

    وفروجهم شوقاً بكل ملائم

    They know no share of bliss beyond their bellies

    and their loins, longing for all that pleases them.

  12. ولذاك قال الله فيها كل ما

    هم يشتهون يحثهم بعزائم

    And so God said: “Therein is all that

    they desire,” urging them with firm injunctions.

  13. أهل الحجاب لهم نعيم جسومهم

    وعذابهم إن قابلوا بجرائم

    The people of the veil have the bliss of their bodies,

    and their torment if they come bearing sins.

  14. ونعيم أهل الكشف رؤية طلعة ال

    محبوب بالوجه الجميل الدائم

    And the bliss of the unveiled is beholding the countenance of the

    Beloved in the beautiful, enduring face.

  15. هو حظهم في النشأتين من الذي

    عشقوه بالقلب الطهور الصائم

    It is their portion in both lives, from the One

    they loved with a pure, fasting heart.

  16. إذ لا نعيم سوى نعيم شهوده

    يوم اللقا بلطائف وكرائم

    For there is no bliss save the bliss of beholding Him

    on the day of meeting, with subtle graces and precious gifts.

  17. هو ظاهر لعيونهم وقلوبهم

    بمباسملُعْسٍ ولين قوائم

    He is manifest to their eyes and hearts

    in dusky-lipped smiles and the suppleness of limbs

  18. من كل وضاح الجبين كأنه

    بدر التمام محوَّطٌ بتمائم

    of each radiant-browed one, as though he were

    the moon at its fullest, encircled with amulets.

  19. يختال كالغصن الرطيب بقامة

    لقلوبهم فيها غناء حمائم

    He sways proudly like a tender bough, with a figure

    in which their hearts hear the cooing of doves.

  20. كالبرق يلمع عن وجود حقيقة

    نفحاتها فاحت بطيب نسائم

    Like lightning, he flashes from the being of a reality

    whose breaths wafted with the fragrance of breezes.
