Sol 6.1

  1. وَداعُ قَلبٍ أَزِفا

    وَعاشِقٌ عَلى شَفا

    A heart's farewell has drawn near,

    and a lover is on the brink.

  2. جاءَ بِقَلبٍ سالِمٍ

    فَسَلهُ كَيفَ اِنصَرَفا

    He came with a heart intact;

    so ask him how he departed.

  3. هَل يَجِدُ الإِنسانُ مِن

    نَفسٍ تَوَلَّت خَلَفا

    Can a person find, for

    a soul departed, a replacement?

  4. يانَظرَةً ما غُرِسَت

    حَتّى جَنَيتُ الشَغَفا

    O glance, no sooner were you planted

    than I reaped consuming passion!

  5. السِحرُ كَم جالَ وَفي

    أَلحاظِ موسى وَقَفا

    How far magic wandered! And in

    Musa's glances it came to rest.

  6. يا شَدَّ ما كَلَّفَني

    حُبّي لِموسى الكُلَفا

    Oh, how heavily it has burdened me—

    my love for Musa—with cares!

  7. فَلا شَفاني اللَهُ إِن

    دَعَوتُ مِنهُ بِالشِفا

    So may God not heal me if

    I pray to be cured of it.

  8. أَذعَنتُ إِذ جارَ وَلا

    يُحمَلُ حُكمُ الضُعَفا

    I submitted when he wronged me, and no

    judgment of the weak is heeded.

  9. ذُلُّ الهَوى وَعِزَّةُ ال

    حُسنِ حَديثٌ عُرِفا

    Love's abasement and the pride of

    beauty are a well-known tale.

  10. لا ذَنبَ إِلّا عاشِقٌ

    أَذعَنَ يَبغي النَصَفا

    No fault but that of a lover

    who submitted, seeking fairness.

  11. وَلَستُ وَهوَ هاجِري

    وَالرَسمُ مِنّي قَد عَفا

    Nor am I, though he forsakes me

    and all trace of me has faded,

  12. أَوَّلَ صَبٍّ ماتَ أَو

    أَوَّلَ مَعشوقٍ جَفا

    the first lovesick lover to die, nor

    is he the first beloved to be cruel.

  13. يا مَن حَلَفتُ أَن أَرى

    عانٍ فَبَرَّ الحَلِفا

    O you whom I swore to see

    a captive—so make good the oath!

  14. تَبخَلُ أَن تُحيِيَ بِاللَ

    فظِ مُحِبّاً تَلِفا

    You begrudge reviving, with a

    word, a lover who has perished.
