Sol 6.1

  1. الفخرُ شاد بكم قبابَه

    والشعرُ زان بكم كعابه

    Pride has raised its domes through you.

    And poetry has adorned its maidens with you.

  2. والعلمُ في الدنيا بثا

    قب فكركم أذكى شهابه

    And knowledge in this world, through

    your piercing thought, has kindled its meteor.

  3. لكم الكلام وأنتم

    أمراء معركة الخطابه

    Speech is yours, and you are

    the commanders in the battle of oratory.

  4. مَنْ ذا يراجع حلمكم

    والحلمُ ما زلتم هضابه

    Who can rival your forbearance,

    when you have always been its lofty hills?

  5. أم مَنْ يطاولكم عُلىً

    ومن العلى لكم الذؤابه

    Or who can rival you in loftiness,

    when the crest of the heights is yours?

  6. لكم النبوة والإما

    مة والسيادة والنقابه

    Yours are prophethood and the imamate,

    lordship and chieftainship.

  7. مَنْ قال لي فخرٌ كه

    ذا فليعِدَّ لنا انتسابه

    Whoever says, 'Mine is glory like

    this,' let him present his lineage to us.

  8. هذي الرياسة لا كمن

    كانت رياسته ثيابه

    This is leadership—not that of one

    whose leadership lay in his clothes.

  9. هتف الرجاء فكنتمُ

    بالفضل أول مَن أجابَه

    Hope called out, and you were

    the first to answer it with bounty.

  10. وحميتمُ ثغر العلى

    وكذاك يحمي الليثُ غابه

    And you guarded the frontier of glory,

    just as the lion guards his forest.

  11. أنفتْ يداكم أن تسا

    جل بالندى حتَّى السحابه

    Your hands disdained to vie

    in bounty even with the cloud.

  12. وبجودها حلفتْ بأن

    تدع الكرامَ ولا صُبابه

    And by their bounty they swore

    to leave the generous not even a last drop.

  13. يا ابن الذين رواقُ عزِّ

    همُ يحجّب بالمهابه

    O son of those whose pavilion of glory

    is curtained with awe,

  14. واللابسين رداءَ فخ

    رهمُ تطرزه النجابه

    and those who wear the robe of their pride,

    which nobility embroiders.

  15. ماذا أقول ومدحكم

    شحنَ الإله به كتابه

    What can I say, when with your praise

    God has filled His Book?
