Sol 6.1

  1. بَني عَمِّنا الأَدنَينِ مِن آلِ طالِبٍ

    تَعالَوا إِلى الأَدنى وَعودوا إِلى الحُسنى

    O our nearest cousins, of the house of Talib,

    Come to what is nearer, and return to what is best.

  2. أَلَيسَ بَنو العَبّاسِ صِنوَ أَبيكُمُ

    وَمَوضِعَ نَجواهُ وَصاحِبَهُ الأَدنى

    Are not the sons of al-Abbas your father's own kin,

    The keepers of his confidences and his closest companions?

  3. وَأَعطاكُمُ المَأمونُ عَهدَ خِلافَةٍ

    لَنا حَقُّها لَكِنَّهُ جادَ بِالدُنيا

    And al-Ma'mun pledged you succession to the caliphate,

    Ours by right—yet he freely gave away the world,

  4. لِيُعلِمَكُم أَنَّ الَّتي قَد حَرَصتُمُ

    عَلَيها وَغودِرتُم عَلى أَثرِها صَرعى

    To show you that what you had so eagerly yearned

    For—and in whose pursuit you were left slain—

  5. يَسيرٌ عَلَيهِ فَقدُها غَيرُ مُكثِرٍ

    كَما يَنبَغي لِلصالِحينَ ذَوي التَقوى

    Is easy for him to lose, without making much of it,

    As befits the righteous, those possessed of piety.

  6. فَماتَ الرِضى مِن بَعدِ ما قَد عَلِمتُمُ

    وَلا ذَت بِنا مِن بَعدِهِ مَرَّةً أُخرى

    Then al-Rida died, after what you already know,

    And after him it sought refuge with us once more.

  7. وَعادَت إِلَينا مِثلَ ما عادَ عاشِقٌ

    إِلى وَطَنٍ فيهِ لَهُ كُلُّ ما يَهوى

    And it returned to us as a lover returns

    To a homeland where he has all that he desires.

  8. دَعَونا وَدُنيانا الَّتي كَلِفَت بِنا

    كَما قَد تَرَكناكُم وَدُنياكُمُ الأولى

    Leave us and our world, which is enamored of us,

    Just as we have left you and your former world.
