Sol 6.1

  1. تَرَقَّبنَ الهَواءَ بِلُطفِ رَبٍّ

    قَديرٍ إِن تَرَكتِ لَهُ هَواكِ

    Watch the air by the grace of a Lord

    almighty, if you surrender your desire to Him.

  2. بَواكٍ يُبتَغَينَ مِنَ المَنايا

    إِذا قامَت عَلى جَدَثٍ بُواكِ

    Weeping fates are sought

    when mourners stand over a grave.

  3. حَواكٍ عَنكِ أَمراً غَيرَ زَينٍ

    يَشينُ إِذا التُرابُ غَداً حَواكِ

    Tellers recount something unseemly about you,

    which will disgrace you when dust enfolds you tomorrow.

  4. ذَوى كَالرَوضِ رَوضُكَ يَومَ شَبَّت

    جِمارٌ مِن لَظى أَسَفٍ ذَواكِ

    Your garden withered like a meadow the day there flared

    glowing embers from the blaze of grief.

  5. رِواءَكِ فَاِشرَبي وَدَعي ثِماداً

    وَأَحواضاً يَكونُ لَها رَواكِ

    Drink your ample water, and leave the scant water

    and basins that have their menders.

  6. زَواكِ اللَهُ عَن جَنَفٍ وَظُلمٍ

    فَشُكراً إِنَّ أَنعُمَهُ زَواكِ

    God has turned you from crookedness and injustice;

    so give thanks: His blessings are ever-growing.

  7. سِواكِ أَحَقُّ أَن يَلقى قَذوفاً

    بِطيبِ القَولِ طَيِّبَةَ السَواكِ

    Someone other than you is worthier to meet a woman lavish

    with kindly speech, her tooth-stick fragrant.

  8. شَواكِ مَنَعتُهُ ذَهَباً مَصوغاً

    مَخافَةَ ما يَفوهُ بِهِ شِواكِ

    I denied your limbs fashioned gold,

    fearing what complainers might utter.

  9. نَواكِ هِيَ الَّتي لا ريبَ فيها

    وَلِلأَيّامِ أَقدارٌ نَواكِ

    Your parting is what admits no doubt;

    and the days have decrees that wound.

  10. لَواكِ اللَهُ عَنّا حينَ بِتنا

    قَريباً مِن صَريمِكِ أَو لِواكِ

    God turned you away from us when we spent the night

    near your isolated dune or your winding sands.
