Sol 6.1

  1. يَلومونَني وَاللَومُ ما أَنا تارِكُه

    مُوالاةَ حِزبٍ أَصبَحَ الشَكُّ ما لِكُه

    They reproach me, but I will not cease reproaching

    Allegiance to a faction that doubt has come to rule,

  2. غَريقٌ بِبَحرِ الجَهلِ مُشفٍ عَلى الرَدى

    مَطالِبُهُ تَحتَ الثَرى وَمَدارِكُه

    Drowning in the sea of ignorance, on the brink of death,

    Its aspirations beneath the soil, and its understanding too.

  3. أَرى الحَقَّ بَينَ الناسِ قَد ظَلَّ خافِياً

    وَقَد دَرَسَت أَعلامُهُ وَمَسالِكُه

    I see truth among people remaining hidden,

    Its landmarks and its paths have been effaced.

  4. أَرى مَربَعُ الأَحبابش قَد صارَ خاوِياً

    وَفارَقَهُ فُرسانُهُ وَعَواتِكُه

    I see the abode of loved ones now lying empty,

    Its knights and its noble women have departed.

  5. فَلِلَهِ ما هَذا الَّذي قَد لَقيتُهُ

    مَعَرَّةَ دَهرٍ وَطأَتي سَنابِكُه

    God! What is this that I have endured—

    The affliction of an age whose hooves have trampled me.

  6. أُنادي قَريباً قَد سَبَّتهُ حُظوظُهُ

    وَأَدعو بَعيداً أَسَرَتهُ مَهالِكُه

    I call to one nearby, whom his fortunes have captivated,

    And call to one far away, whom his perils have taken captive.

  7. فَهَذا غَريقٌ وَالأَخيرِ مُثبِطٌ

    وَأَيُّهُما تَختارُهُ وَتُماسِكُه

    So this one is drowning, while the other is a hindrance;

    And which of the two will you choose and hold fast to?

  8. وَما أَنا بِالمُختالِ زَهواً لِنَفسِه

    وَلَكِنّي أَهوى الجَميلَ وَسالِكَه

    And I am not one who struts in self-admiration,

    But I love what is beautiful and whoever walks its path.

  9. أَحِنُّ إِلى العَلياءِ وَقَد حالَ دونَها

    فَوارِسُ سُلطانِ الهَوى وَفَواتِكُه

    I yearn for the heights, yet barring the way to them are

    The horsemen of desire's sultan and his ruthless assailants.

  10. وَمَن يَبتَغي الأَمرَ النَفيسَ بِنَفسِهِ

    يُخاطِرُ دونَ المُلكِ تَلَقّى مَعارِكَه

    And whoever seeks the precious aim himself

    Risks himself for kingship and faces its battles.

  11. هَلُمّوا أَلُمّوا عُصبَةَ هاشِمِيَّةٍ

    لِنُصرَةِ دينِ اللَهِ رَغماً لِآفِكِه

    Come, gather a Hashimite band,

    To support God's religion, in defiance of its falsifier.

  12. وَقوموا بِعَونِ اللَهِ قَومَةَ واحِدٍ

    لِهَتكِ حِجابِ باءٍ بِالفَوزِ هاتِكِه

    And rise, with God's help, as one man,

    To rend a veil—whoever rends it has gained victory.

  13. لَقَد آنَ صُبحُ العَدلِ يَنشَقُّ فَجرُهُ

    وَقَد حانَ لَيلُ الجورِ يَنزاحُ حالِكُه

    The morning of justice is now at hand, its dawn breaking,

    And it is time for tyranny's night and its blackness to recede,

  14. بِطَلعَةِ اِبنِ المُصطَفى عَلَّمَ الهُدى

    حَليفَ التُقى خَيرَ الأَنامِ وَناسِكُه

    With the appearance of the Chosen One's son, the banner of guidance,

    Piety's ally, the best of humankind and its devout worshipper—

  15. مُحَمَّدُ المَهدِيِّ خَليفَةُ رَبَّنا

    إِمامُ الهُدى بِالقِسطِ قامَت مُمالِكَه

    Muhammad al-Mahdi, the vicegerent of our Lord,

    The imam of guidance, whose kingdoms are founded on justice.

  16. كَأَنّي بِهِ بَينَ المَقامِ وَرُكِنها

    يُبايِعُهُ مِن كُلِّ حِزبٍ مُبارِكُه

    I seem to see him between the Station and its Corner;

    From every faction, one who blesses him pledges allegiance to him.

  17. بَهِ يَنعَشُ الرَحمَنُ مِلَّةَ جَدِّهِ

    وَيَحيى بِهِ دينِ الهُدى وَمَناسِكُه

    Through him the All-Merciful revives his grandfather's faith,

    And through him the religion of guidance and its rites live again.
