Sol 6

  1. تَرَقَّبنَ الهَواءَ بِلُطفِ رَبٍّ

    قَديرٍ إِن تَرَكتِ لَهُ هَواكِ

    They awaited the air through the kindness of a Lord

    who is mighty, if you leave your desire to Him.

  2. بَواكٍ يُبتَغَينَ مِنَ المَنايا

    إِذا قامَت عَلى جَدَثٍ بُواكِ

    Mourners are sought from among the deaths

    when mourners stand beside a grave.

  3. حَواكٍ عَنكِ أَمراً غَيرَ زَينٍ

    يَشينُ إِذا التُرابُ غَداً حَواكِ

    Those who tell an unseemly tale about you

    bring shame when the earth enfolds you tomorrow.

  4. ذَوى كَالرَوضِ رَوضُكَ يَومَ شَبَّت

    جِمارٌ مِن لَظى أَسَفٍ ذَواكِ

    Your garden withered like a meadow when there flared

    embers from a blaze of grief that withered you.

  5. رِواءَكِ فَاِشرَبي وَدَعي ثِماداً

    وَأَحواضاً يَكونُ لَها رَواكِ

    Drink your fill, and leave the shallow pools

    and basins from which you would drink.

  6. زَواكِ اللَهُ عَن جَنَفٍ وَظُلمٍ

    فَشُكراً إِنَّ أَنعُمَهُ زَواكِ

    God kept you from bias and injustice;

    so give thanks, for His blessings have reached you.

  7. سِواكِ أَحَقُّ أَن يَلقى قَذوفاً

    بِطيبِ القَولِ طَيِّبَةَ السَواكِ

    Someone other than you is more deserving of reproach

    in gracious words, O you whose toothstick is sweet.

  8. شَواكِ مَنَعتُهُ ذَهَباً مَصوغاً

    مَخافَةَ ما يَفوهُ بِهِ شِواكِ

    I withheld fashioned gold from your limbs

    for fear of what your detractor might say.

  9. نَواكِ هِيَ الَّتي لا ريبَ فيها

    وَلِلأَيّامِ أَقدارٌ نَواكِ

    Your departure is beyond doubt,

    and the days have destinies that carry you away.

  10. لَواكِ اللَهُ عَنّا حينَ بِتنا

    قَريباً مِن صَريمِكِ أَو لِواكِ

    God turned you away from us when we spent the night

    near your encampment or your banner.
