Sol 6.1

  1. أضنيتني بِالهَجْرْ .. مَا أَظْلَمَكْ

    فَارْحَمْ عَسِى الرَّحْمَنُ أَنْ يَرْحَمَكْ

    You have worn me down with abandonment—how unjust you are!

    So have mercy; may the All-Merciful have mercy on you.

  2. مولاي حَكَّمْتُكَ فِي مُهْجَتِي

    فَارْفقْ بِهَا يُفْدِيْكَ مَنْ حَكَّمَكْ

    My lord, I have made you ruler over my soul.

    So be gentle with it; he who made you ruler would give his life for you.

  3. مَا كَان أحْلَى قُبُلاتِ الهَوَى

    إِنْ كُنْتَ لا تَذْكُرُ فَاسْأَلْ فَمَكْ

    How sweet love’s kisses were!

    If you do not remember, then ask your mouth.

  4. تَمُرُّ بِي كَأَنَّنِي لَمْ أَكُنْ

    ثَغْرَكَ أَوْ صَدْرَكَ أَوْ مِعْصَمَكْ

    You pass me by as though I had never been

    Your lips, or your breast, or your wrist.

  5. لَوْ مَرَّ سَيْفٌ بَيْنَنَا لَمْ نَكُنْ

    نَعْلَمُ هَلْ أَجْرَى دَمِى أَمْ دَمَكْ

    Had a sword passed between us, we would not have

    Known whether it drew my blood or yours.

  6. سَلْ الدُّجَى كَمْ رَاقَنِي نَدْمُهُ

    لَمَّا حَكَي مَبْسَمَهُ مَبْسَمَكْ

    Ask the darkness how much its remorse delighted me

    When its smile resembled your smile.

  7. يَا بَدْرُ إِنْ وَاصَلْتَنِى بِالْجَفَا

    وَمِتُّ فِي شَرْخِ الصِبَا مُغْرَمَكْ

    O full moon, if you keep treating me with coldness,

    And I, your lover, die in the bloom of youth,

  8. قُلْ لِلدُّجَى: مَاتَ شَهِيْدُ الْوَفَا

    فَانْثُرْ عَلَى أَكْفَانِهِ أَنْجُمَكْ

    Tell the darkness: “The martyr of fidelity has died;

    so scatter your stars upon his shrouds.”
