Sol 6.1

  1. كِتابيَ يَسعى قَد أَتاكَ عَلى العَينِ

    فَبادر إِلى مَغنَىً سَلمتَ مِن العَينِ

    My letter hastens; it has come to you, honored upon the eye.

    So hasten to a dwelling—may you be safe from the evil eye!

  2. بِهِ حِلٌّ مِن أَهلِ الغَرامِ عِصابَةٌ

    حَديثُهُم كَالراحِ بَينَ الرياحينِ

    There dwells a band of lovers,

    Their conversation like wine amid fragrant blossoms.

  3. وَطِر بِجَناح العَزم نَحوَ مَطارِهِم

    وَإِيّاكَ بِالسَفحِ مِن رَبرب عينِ

    And fly on the wing of resolve toward their place of flight,

    And beware, at the hill's foot, of a herd of wide-eyed gazelles.

  4. سَفَرنَ بُدوراً وَاِلتَفَتنَ جآذِراً

    وَمِسنَ غُصوناً قَد تَعَطّفنَ مِن لينِ

    They unveiled like full moons and turned like wild-ox calves,

    And swayed like branches that had bent in their suppleness.

  5. فَمَن رامَ يَصطادُ البُزاةَ بِعُشِّها

    فَلا غَروَ أَن يُلفى بِقَبضَةِ شاهينِ

    For whoever seeks to catch the hawks in their nest,

    Then no wonder he is found in a peregrine falcon's grasp.
