Sol 6.1

  1. وإذا هنيء الملوك فصبح

    ت من العيد أسعد التهنئاتِ

    And when kings are congratulated, may you be greeted at dawn

    with the feast's most auspicious congratulations.

  2. وفداك المحل فالنحر في أر

    ض منى والمهل في عرفات

    And may the pilgrim released from consecration ransom you—sacrifice is in the land

    of Minā—and the pilgrim chanting the invocation at ʿArafāt.

  3. وتعجلت أجر من خلع الإح

    رام عنه الاطمار في الميقات

    And you received in advance the reward of one whom consecration

    stripped of ragged clothes at the appointed station.

  4. وأجاب الإله فيك دئي

    غافر الذنب سامع الأصوات

    And God answered [my prayer] for you—

    the Forgiver of sin, the Hearer of voices.

  5. زرته والغنى منى ويدي قد

    أتعب الناس عهدها بالصلات

    I visited him, with wealth but a wish; my hand's

    last acquaintance with gifts had taxed people's memories.

  6. فكأني ملكت ناصية الده

    ر فصرفتها على شهواتي

    So it was as though I possessed the forelock of Time,

    and steered it according to my desires.
