Sol 6.1

  1. تجاهلني الوادي الخصيب وأهله

    وفي كل فج منه مأثرةٌ مني

    The fertile valley and its people have ignored me,

    And in its every pass there is a noble deed of mine.

  2. وعذري إليه في سكوتيَ علتي

    وما عذر قومي في سكوتهم عني

    My excuse to it for my silence is my illness;

    But what excuse have my people for their silence about me?

  3. ولم يبق لي في عشرة الأنس مؤنس

    وإني من الأعصاب في وحشة الجن

    And in friendly company, no companion remains for me,

    And my nerves leave me in the loneliness of the jinn.

  4. وما بي إلا ضيعة العهد عندهم

    وهذا هو المبلي وهذا هو المضني

    Nothing ails me but their neglect of the bond;

    This is what wears me down, and this is what exhausts me.

  5. ولو سألوا عني لكان صنيعهم

    وكان هو الشافي وكان هو المغني

    And had they asked after me, that would have been a kindness from them;

    It would have been the cure, and it would have been enough.
