Sol 6.1

  1. يا مَن بِمَقتَلِهِ دَهى الدَهرُ

    قَد كانَ مِنكَ وَمِنهُمُ أَمرُ

    O you through whose slaying Time brought calamity,

    There had indeed been a matter between you and them.

  2. زَعَموا قُتِلتَ وَعِندَهُم عُذرٌ

    كَذَبوا وَقبرِكَ مالَهُم عُذرُ

    They claimed they had an excuse for your slaying.

    They lied—by your grave, they have no excuse.

  3. يا قَبرَ سَيّدِنا المجنِّ سَماحه

    صَلّى عَلَيكَ اللَهُ يا قَبرُ

    O grave of our lord, whose generosity lies buried,

    May God bless you, O grave.

  4. ما ضَرَّ قَبراً أَنتَ ساكِنهُ

    أَن لا يَمرّ بِأَرضِهِ القَطرُ

    It does no harm to a grave where you dwell

    That rain never passes over its soil.

  5. فَليعدِلَنَّ سَماحَ كَفِّكَ قَطرَه

    وَليورِقَنَّ بِقُربِكَ الصَخرُ

    So its rain shall surely match your hand's generosity,

    And the rocks shall surely sprout leaves beside you.

  6. وَإِذا رَقَدتَ فَأَنتَ مُنتَبهٌ

    وَإِذا انتَبهتَ فَوجهُكَ البَدرُ

    And when you sleep, you are alert;

    And when you wake, your face is the full moon.

  7. وَإِذا غَضِبتَ تَصَدَّعَت فَرَقاً

    مِنكَ الجِبالُ وَخافَكَ الذُعرُ

    And when you grow angry, shattered in fear

    Of you are the mountains, and terror itself fears you.

  8. يا ساكِنَ القَبر السلامُ عَلى

    مَن حال دونَ لِقائِهِ القَبرُ

    O dweller in the grave, peace be upon

    The one whom the grave has kept us from meeting.

  9. يا هاجِري إِذ جِئتُ زائِرَهُ

    ما كانَ مِن عاداتِكَ الهَجرُ

    O you who forsook me when I came to visit him,

    Forsaking was never among your habits.

  10. واللَهِ لَو بِكَ لَم أَدَع أَحَداً

    إِلّا قَتَلتُ لفاتني الوِترُ

    By God, had I spared no one for your sake

    But killed them all, vengeance would still have eluded me.
