Sol 6.1

  1. طَرف جَفاهُ هُجوعَهُ

    أَبَداً تَسيل دُموعَهُ

    An eye whose slumber has forsaken it;

    its tears flow forever.

  2. يَفديكَ جسم ناحل

    دَنف الفُؤاد مُرَوعهُ

    A wasted body would ransom you,

    its heart lovesick and terror-stricken.

  3. يَفديك قُلت كُلَّما

    أَعرَضت زادَ وُلوعَهُ

    “It would ransom you,” I said; whenever

    you turn away, its ardor grows.

  4. قَد ضاقَ بِالأَشواق فَاِنفَرَجَت

    هُناكَ صُدوعَهُ

    It grew constricted with longing; then gaped open

    its fissures there.

  5. يَفنى فَتنذبهُ بِأَصوات

    الزَفير ضُلوعَهُ

    It wastes away, mourned with the sounds

    of sighing by its ribs.

  6. يَشكو إَلَيكَ لَواحِظاً

    أَبَداً تَظَلُ تروعهُ

    It complains to you of glances

    that forever keep terrifying it.

  7. ما أَن نَظَرت إِلَيهِ إِلّا

    وَاِستَهَلَّ نَجيعُهُ

    No sooner do you look at it than

    its blood begins to pour.

  8. مَولايَ لا تَتلف مُحبك

    فَالوداد شَفيعُهُ

    My lord, do not destroy your lover,

    for love is his intercessor.

  9. يا مَن لَهُ كُل الجَما

    ل وَلي الغَرام جَميعُهُ

    O you who possess all beauty,

    while all passion is mine.

  10. إِن كانَ وَصل الصَب مِما

    يَستَحيل وُقوعَهُ

    If union with the lovesick one is something

    that can never come to pass,

  11. فَالقَلب مِما يَستَحيل

    سَلوهُ وَرُجوعَهُ

    then the heart, too, can never

    forget or turn back.

  12. سوّفهُ زوراً بِاللُقا

    فَعَسى يَخف هُلوعَهُ

    Put him off with a false promise of meeting;

    perhaps his panic will subside.

  13. كَم باتَ يَنتَظر المَنية

    وَالسقام ضَجيعُهُ

    Many a night he spent awaiting death,

    with sickness as his bedfellow.

  14. لَم يَغنِ عَنهُ إِذ هَجَر

    ت بُكاؤُهُ وَخُضوعَهُ

    When you forsook him, he found no help in

    his weeping and his submission.

  15. فَقَضى هُناكَ وَلَم يَجد

    سَبب الصُدود صَريعه

    So he died there, never learning

    the cause of the rejection that slew him.
