Sol 6.1

  1. تَرومُ شِفاءَ ما الأَقوامُ فيهِ

    رُوَيدَكَ إِنَّ داءَ القَومِ أَعيا

    You seek a cure for what afflicts the peoples.

    Take your time: the people's malady has defied a cure.

  2. فَحاذِر عَقرَباً غَشِيَتكَ لَسباً

    وَأُمَّ أَراقِمٍ وافَتكَ سَعيا

    So beware a scorpion that has come upon you to sting,

    and a mother of speckled serpents that has come rushing to you.

  3. وَأَلقَت هَذِهِ الأَيّامُ عِلماً

    إِلَيكَ فَلَم تُصادِفُ مِنكَ وَعيا

    And these days have cast knowledge

    your way, but found no understanding in you.

  4. وَدينُكَ ما عَلَيَّ الحُكمُ فيهِ

    فَأَبغِيَ لِلَّذي أَخفَيتَ بَغيا

    And it is not for me to judge your faith

    and thereby seek out what you have concealed.

  5. إِذا الإِنسانُ كَفَّ الشَرَّ عَنّي

    فَسُقياً في الحَياةِ لَهُ وَرَعيا

    If a person refrains from harming me,

    then may he be watered and tended throughout life.

  6. وَيَدرُسُ إِن أَرادَ كِتابَ موسى

    وَيُضمِرُ إِن أَحَبَّ وَلاءَ شَعيا

    And he may study, if he wishes, the Book of Moses,

    and inwardly harbor, if he likes, allegiance to Isaiah.
