Sol 6.1

  1. أَجادَ القَطرُ مِن غادٍ وَسارِ

    عَلى تِلكَ المَعاهِدِ وَالدِيارِ

    May rain pour abundantly from morning and night-roving clouds,

    upon those familiar haunts and dwellings.

  2. فَكَم لي وَقفَةً فيها اِشتِياقاً

    وَزَندُ الوَجدِ في الأَحشاءِ وارِ

    For many a time I stood there, yearning,

    while passion's fire-stick blazed within my breast.

  3. إِذا كَفكَفتُ مِن عَبَراتِ دَمعي

    يُهَيِّجُها اِشتِعالٌ مِن أُوارِ

    Whenever I wiped away some of my tears,

    a blaze of searing heat stirred them up.

  4. وَكَم لي في حِماها مِن لَيالٍ

    يَفوتُ ضِياؤُها وَضَحَ النَهارِ

    And many were my nights within their shelter,

    their radiance surpassing the brightness of day.

  5. جَلَوتُ بِها وُجوهَ الحُسنِ تُزهى

    كَزَهرِ الرَوضِ بَل زَهرِ الدَراري

    In them I unveiled beauty's faces, resplendent,

    like garden flowers—rather, flowers of the brilliant stars.

  6. فَصِرتُ مُسامِراً لِلنَجمِ سُهداً

    فَلا أُغضي الجُفونَ عَلى غِرارِ

    So I became a sleepless night-companion to the stars,

    never closing my eyelids for even a brief sleep.

  7. تُساجِلُ مُقلَتي الأَنواءَ سَكباً

    إِذا فاضَت بِأَدمُعِها الغِزارِ

    My eye rivals the rainstorms in pouring,

    whenever it overflows with its abundant tears.

  8. وَعَينٍ كَالسَفينِ تَسيرُ زَهواً

    تَخوضُ عُبابَ آلٍ في قِفارِ

    And an eye journeys proudly, like ships,

    plunging through billows of mirage in desolate wastes.

  9. فَدَعني فالسُرى هَمّي وَعَزمي

    فَإِنَّ لِغايَةِ المَجدِ اِبتِداري

    So leave me: night travel is my concern and resolve,

    for my haste is toward the summit of glory.

  10. لَعَلّي أن أَحُلَّ دِيارَ عِزٍّ

    مَغاني المُصطَفى مَثوى الفَخارِ

    Perhaps I may alight in abodes of honor,

    the haunts of the Chosen One, the dwelling of glory.

  11. دِيارٌ حَلَّها خَيرُ البَرايا

    وَخَيرُ الخَلقِ مِن بادٍ وَقارِ

    Dwellings where the best of all creatures settled,

    the best of creation, nomads and settled folk alike.

  12. سَرِيٌّ سابِقٌ في كُلِّ فَضلٍ

    كَريمُ أَرومَةٍ زاكي النِجارِ

    Noble, foremost in every excellence,

    of noble stock and pure lineage,

  13. وَمَخصوصٌ بِتَشريفٍ وَعِزٍّ

    وَمَجدٍ شامِخٍ سامي المَنارِ

    and singled out for honor and might,

    and towering glory with a lofty beacon.

  14. عَلا فَوقَ الطِباقِ السَبعِ قُرباً

    وَخَصَّ بِمَقصِدٍ داني الجِوارِ

    He rose above the seven layered heavens in nearness,

    and was granted a station in close proximity.

  15. إِمامُ الخَلقِ نورُ الحَقِّ يَبدو

    ضياءً مِن سَناهُ لِكُلِّ سارِ

    Creation's leader, the light of Truth, appears

    as radiance from his splendor for every night traveler.

  16. وَآياتٌ لَهُ ظَهَرَت فلَيسَت

    يُباريها مُبارٍ أَو مُجارِ

    And signs appeared for him, which no

    contender or rival can match.

  17. تَفوتُ العَدَّ لَيسَ يُطاقُ عَدٌّ

    لِرَملِ البَحرِ أَو قَطرِ البِحارِ

    They defy counting; no count can be made

    of the sea's sand or the drops of the seas.

  18. فَجاهَدَ كُلَّ حِزبٍ مِن ضَلالٍ

    بِسُمرٍ أَو بِبيضٍ مِن شِفارِ

    So he fought every faction of error,

    with brown spears or shining white blades.

  19. فَعادَ الجَمعُ مِنهُم لِاِفتِراقٍ

    وَعَودُهُمُ الصَليبُ إِلى اِنكِسارِ

    So their gathered host turned to dispersal,

    and their wood—the cross—was shattered.

  20. عَلَيكَ تَحِيَّةٌ ما اِنهَلَّ غَيثٌ

    وَصابَ مِنَ العَوادي وَالسَواري

    May a greeting be upon you as long as rain pours,

    and falls from morning and night-traveling clouds.

  21. وَدامَ عَلى سَليلِكَ ذي حِفاظٍ

    عَريقِ أَصالَةٍ حامي الذِمارِ

    And may it endure upon your descendant, steadfast in honor,

    deep-rooted in nobility, defender of all held dear.

  22. سَما صَعَداً إِلى أَن حَلَّ أَوجاً

    أَطَلَّ عَلى الغَزالَةِ وَالجَوارِ

    He rose upward until he reached a zenith,

    looking down upon the sun and the coursing planets.

  23. إِذا ما رامَ ذا كُفرٍ وَأَيدٍ

    فَلَيسَ لَهُ اِعتِصامٌ بِالفِرارِ

    When he targets a man of unbelief and might,

    that man finds no refuge in flight.

  24. وَمَقرونُ النَجاحِ بِكُلِّ رَأيٍ

    وَتَأييدِ العَزائِمِ بِانتِصارِ

    And success is joined to his every judgment,

    and his resolves are strengthened by victory.

  25. وَغارَ الغَيثُ مِن يُمناهُ حتّى

    يَكادَ يَفيضُ فَيضٌ مِنهُ جارِ

    And rain envied his right hand, until

    a flowing flood nearly poured forth from it.

  26. فَأَكثَرُ جودِهِ بِالقَطرِ سَكباً

    وَأَيسَرُ جودِ كَفِّهِ بِاليَسارِ

    For its greatest bounty is an outpouring of rain,

    while his palm's least bounty is wealth.

  27. جَرى بِسُعودِهَ وَبِمُشتَهاهُ

    نُجومٌ لُحنَ في فَلَكٍ مُدارِ

    In accord with his good fortune and his desire coursed

    stars that shone in a revolving sphere.

  28. لَهُ سِيَرٌ مِنَ العَدلِ اِستَفاضَت

    عَلى قاصٍ وَدانٍ في المَزارِ

    His ways of justice have become widely known

    among those visiting from far and near.

  29. وَزانَ عُلاهُ في الدُنيا جَمالٌ

    وَأَمرٌ قائِمٌ في الخَلقِ جارِ

    And beauty adorned his eminence in this world,

    and firm authority prevailing among creation.

  30. وَزانَت مِلَّةُ الإِسلامِ دَأباً

    كَما اِزدانَ المَعاصِمَ بِالسِوارِ

    And the faith of Islam ever adorned him,

    as wrists are adorned with a bracelet.
