Sol 6.1

  1. سَلاَمُ اللهِ بُورِكَ مِنْ سَلاَمِ

    عَلَى قَبْرِ الإِمَامِ ابْنِ الإَِمَامِ

    God's peace—blessed be this greeting—

    Upon the grave of the imam, son of the imam.

  2. وَسُقْيَا ثُمَّ سُقْيَا ثُمَّ سُقْيَا

    يَصُوبُ بِدَمْعِهَا جَفْنُ الْغَمَامِ

    And rain, then rain, then rain,

    As the clouds' eyelid pours down its tears,

  3. إِلَى أَنْ تَفْهَقَ الْقِيعَانُ رِيّاً

    وَتُورِقَ عَنْهُ أَوْتَادُ الْخِيَامِ

    Until the lowlands overflow, well watered,

    And the tent-pegs put forth leaves from it.

  4. تُبَشِّرُ بِالرِّضَى مغْدىً وَمَمْسىً

    فَتَبْسِمُ عَنْهُ أَزْهَارُ الْكِمَامِ

    Heralding divine favor morning and evening,

    So the blossoms in their sheaths smile in response.

  5. وَلَوْلاَ أَنَّهَا بُشْرَى وَرُحْمَى

    لَمَا جَرُؤَ الْكِماَمُ عَلَى ابْتِساَمِ

    And were it not glad tidings and mercy,

    The flower-sheaths would not have dared to smile.

  6. أَمَوْلاَىَ أَهْنَ نَوْمَكَ فِي قَرَارٍ

    يَعُودُ عَلَيْكَ بِالنِّعَمِ الْجِسامِ

    O my lord, enjoy your sleep in a resting-place

    That brings you immense blessings.

  7. تَهُبُّ عَلَى جَوَانِبِهِ النُّعَامَى

    فَتُهْدِيكَ السَّلاَمَ مِنَ السَّلاَمِ

    The south wind blows along its sides,

    And brings you peace from the Source of Peace,

  8. إِلَى أَنْ تَسْتَقِرَّ بِدَارِ عَدْنٍ

    فَتَظْفَرَ بِالنَّعِيمِ الْمُسْتَدَامِ

    Until you dwell in the abode of Eden

    And attain everlasting bliss.

  9. هُنَاكَ الْمُلْكُ لاَ مَا بِنْتَ عَنْهُ

    فَمَا الدُّنْيَا سِوَى حُلْمِ الْمَنَامِ

    Kingship lies there, not in what you left behind;

    For this world is nothing but a dream in sleep.

  10. يَسُرُّ عُلاَكَ مَا قَدَّمْتَ فِيهِ

    مِنَ الْقُرُبَاتِ فِي جُنْحِ الظَّلاَمِ

    Your Highness is gladdened by what you sent ahead there:

    Acts of devotion beneath the wing of darkness,

  11. وَوَصْلُكَ بِالصَّلاَةِ دُجَى اللَّيَالِي

    وَقَطْعُكَ لِلْهَوَاجِرِ بِالصِّيَامِ

    And your spanning the darkness of nights with prayer,

    And your passing the noonday heat in fasting,

  12. وَسَمْحُكَ لِلْجِهَادِ بِكُلِّ سَامٍ

    مِنَ السَّامِ النُّضَارِ وَكُلِّ جَامِ

    And your generous giving for jihad of every precious piece

    Of pure gold, and every goblet.

  13. وَتَصْدُقُ وَعْدَكَ الصَّدَقَاتُ تُعْلِي

    مَقَامَكَ فِي الْمَقَامَاتِ الْكِرَامِ

    And your alms prove your promise true, raising

    Your station among the noble stations.

  14. أَيَا عَبْدَ الْعَزِيزِ يَعِزُّ صَبْرِي

    عَلَيْكَ فَإِنَّهُ صَعْبُ الْمَرَامِ

    O 'Abd al-'Aziz, patience is hard for me

    In mourning you, for it is difficult to attain.

  15. وَلَكِنِّي يُخَفِّضُ بَعْضَ بَثِّي

    وَحُزْنِي مَا لِعِزِّكَ مِنْ دَوَامِ

    Yet some of my anguish is eased,

    And my sorrow, by the endurance of your glory.

  16. سُعُودُكَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِكَ فِي حَيَاةٍ

    وَإِنْ جُرِّعْتَ أَكْوْاسَ الْحِمَامِ

    Your lucky stars live on after your death,

    Though you were made to drink the cups of death.

  17. وَبَيْتُكَ فَوْقَهُ لِلَّهِ سِتْرٌ

    ضَفَا كَالسِّتْرِ بِالْبَيْتِ الْحَرَامِ

    And over your house lies God's veil,

    Spread amply like the covering on the Sacred House.

  18. وَوَارِثُكَ الْعَزِيزُ عَلَيْكَ مَلْكٌ

    عَزِيزُ الأَمْرِ مَرْهُوبُ الْحُسَامِ

    And your heir, so dear to you, is a king,

    Mighty in command, his sword held in dread.

  19. سَعِيدٌ فَابْتَهِجْ لَفْظاً وَمَعْنَى

    يُطَاوِعُهُ الزَّمَانُ بِلاَ زِمَامِ

    Sa'id—'fortunate'—so rejoice in name and meaning;

    Time obeys him without a rein.

  20. وَدَارُكَ لِلسُّعُودِ بِهَا مَدَارٌ

    وَشَمْلُكَ فِي اتَّسَاقٍ وَانْتِظَامِ

    And your house is where lucky stars revolve,

    And your household is in harmony and order.

  21. لَئِنْ خلفت مِنْهُ هِلاَلَ مُلْكٍ

    وَرُحْنَا بَعْدَ شَمْسِكَ فِي ظَلاَمِ

    Though in him you left a crescent of kingship,

    And after your sun had set, we went into darkness,

  22. فَهَا هُوَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ فِي ازْدِيَادٍ

    يُشَابِهُ هَيْئَةَ الْبَدْرِ التَّمَامِ

    Yet behold him, waxing every day,

    Resembling the form of the perfect full moon.

  23. مَحَضْتَ بِهِ الْوَصَاةَ إِلَى رِجَالٍ

    كِرَامٍ شَأَنُهُمْ رَعْيُ الذِّمَامِ

    You sincerely entrusted his care to men,

    Noble men whose practice is honoring bonds of loyalty.

  24. أَبُو يَحْيَى وَحَسْبُكَ مِنْ حَيِيٍّ

    وَفِيٍّ بِالْعُهُودِ عَلَى التَّمَامِ

    Abu Yahya—what a man of modesty,

    Faithful to his pledges in full!

  25. يُدَافِعُ عَنْهُ بِالْبِيضِ الْمَوَاضِي

    وَيَحْمِي السَّرْحَ بِالْجَيْشِ اللُّهَامِ

    He defends him with bright, keen swords,

    And guards the grazing herds with a vast army.

  26. وَمَهْمَا سَارَ فِي أَمْرٍ مُهِمٍّ

    وَجَدَّ السَّيْرَ بُورِكَ مِنْ هُمَامِ

    And whenever he sets out on an important undertaking

    And presses on—blessed be such a valiant man!

  27. فَعَلاَّلٌ بِدَارِكَ أَيُّ ذُخْرٍ

    يَقُومُ بِحِفْظِهَا خَيْرَ الْقِيَامِ

    Then 'Allal—what a treasure in your house!

    He attends to its protection in the finest manner.

  28. فَشُكْراً أَيُّهَا الْمَوْلَى لِسَعْيٍ

    بَرِيٍّ فِي الْوَفَاءِ مِنَ الْمَلاَمِ

    Then give thanks, O lord, for an endeavor

    Free of reproach in its faithfulness.

  29. وَيَا مَا كُنْتَ تَشْكُرُ مِنْ وَفَاءٍ

    وَرَعْيٍ لَوْ قَدَرْتَ عَلَى الْكَلاَمِ

    And oh, how much loyalty you would have given thanks for,

    And care, had you been able to speak!

  30. وَظَائِفُ بَعْدَ بُعْدِكَ فِي ازْدِيَادٍ

    وَحِفْظٌ فِي طِعَانٍ أَوْ طَعَامِ

    Regular duties increase after your departure,

    And care, in spear-fighting or at meals.

  31. وَإِعْدَادٌ لَهُ بَرَكَاتُ نُعْمَى

    سَحَائِبُهَا تَجُودُ عَلَى الأَنَامِ

    And preparation bearing blessings of bounty,

    Whose clouds pour generously upon mankind.

  32. أَعَدَّتْهُ الْمُلُوكُ إِلَى بَنِيهَا

    وَشَائِجَ وُصْلَةٍ ذَاتِ الْتِحَامِ

    The kings prepared him for their sons,

    Through bonds of connection, knit in close union,

  33. وَأَبْدَتْ فِيهِ رَغْبَةَ ذِي امْتِسَاكٍ

    بِحَبْلٍ لِلْمَوَدَّةِ وَاعْتِصَامِ

    And showed a desire for him like one clinging

    To a cord of affection and refuge.

  34. وَأَهْدَتْهُمْ إِلَيْهِ بِحُسْنِ عُقْبَى

    وَجَمْعٍ بَعْدَ شَتٍّ وَالْتِئَامِ

    And presented them to him with a happy outcome,

    And gathering after separation, and reunion.

  35. وَمَنْ غَرَسَ الْمَوَدَّةَ قَرَّ عَيْناً

    وَأَعْمَلَ فِي الْجَنَى كَفَّ احْتِكَامِ

    And whoever plants affection finds delight for his eyes,

    And puts a hand of mastery to gathering its fruit.

  36. فَطِبْ نَفْساً وَنَمْ فِي ظِلِّ رُحْمَى

    تَلِذُّ بِبَرْدِهَا بَيْنَ النِّيَامِ

    So be at ease, and sleep in the shade of mercy,

    Delighting in its coolness among the sleepers.

  37. أَتَيْتُكَ بِالْهَنَاءِ هَنَاءِ عَبْدٍ

    أَخِي هَمٍّ بِأَمْرِكَ وَاهْتِمَامِ

    I have come to you with congratulations, a servant's congratulations,

    A man of concern and care for your affairs,

  38. تَطَوَّقَ مِنْكَ إِنْعَاماً كَرِيماً

    لَزِيماً مِثْلَ تَطْوِيقِ الْحَمَامِ

    Who wore your noble favor about his neck,

    Lasting, like the neck-rings of doves.

  39. تَعَلَّلَ بِالسَّلاَمِ عَلَيْكَ حَتَّى

    يَرَاكَ وَأَنْتَ فِي دَارِ السَّلاَمِ

    He finds solace in greeting you, until

    He sees you while you are in the Abode of Peace.
