Sol 6.1

  1. أرَاني القَبضَ لم أرَ فِيهِ عابا

    واقبِضُ لستُ أخشَى أن أُعَابَا

    For my part, I have seen no fault in clasping the hands;

    and I clasp my hands, unafraid of being blamed.

  2. ولَم أخشَ إغتِيَاباً فَِيهِ أنَّى

    يَجُرُّ القَبض لِلمَرءِ إغتَيابا

    Nor did I fear backbiting over it—how

    could clasping the hands bring backbiting upon a man?

  3. وما لِلجَهلِ فيه من دليلٍ

    وإن لم يَقبصن مَحنص بَابَا

    And there is no evidence of ignorance in it,

    even if Mahand Baba did not clasp his hands.

  4. فَإنَّ مَحنضَ بَابَ لَنَا إِمَامٌ

    حَمِدنَا في إمَامَتِه المَآبا

    For Mahand Baba is our imam;

    we praised the outcome of his leadership.

  5. أنَارَ غوامِضَ العلمِ الدَّوَاجِى

    وقَيَّدَ مِن شَوارِدِهِ الصِّعَابَا

    He illuminated the dark obscurities of knowledge,

    and tethered the unruly ones among its strays.

  6. قَد استَولَى على الميدانِ فِيهِ

    وللأبنَاءِ قَد نَفَضَ العِيَابَا

    In it, he had taken command of the field,

    and for the sons he had shaken out the bags.

  7. فَكانُوا أنجُمَّا تُهدَى الحَيَارَى

    بِهِنَّ فَلَن تُرَابَ ولَن تُعَابَا

    Thus they became stars; the bewildered are guided

    by them, so you will not be troubled by doubt, nor will you be blamed.

  8. ولَكِن لَم تَكُن بِمُقلِّدِيهِ

    إذَا الأثرُ الصحيحُ تَضَا الثيابَا

    Yet you did not follow him blindly

    when the authentic tradition cast off its garments.

  9. ولم نُنكِرُ عمودَ الصُّبحِ أبدَى

    سناهُ الأفقَ والتَهَبَ التهابا

    Nor did we deny the pillar of dawn, which revealed

    the horizon with its radiance and blazed brightly.
