Sol 6.1

  1. يدمي المحب من شجى أنة

    خلت بأحشاه وشبّت ناره

    A groan of anguish makes the lover bleed.

    It lay secluded in his entrails, and his fire blazed.

  2. طرف وفيّ لا يُفات إن شكا

    في لومه عسى يزيده بُكا

    A faithful eye is not overlooked if it complains;

    In reproaching him, perhaps it increases his weeping.

  3. حسبي ندا بين لو كان في

    ليل دنا مني وفيّ مسعف

    Parting’s dew would suffice me, if there were in

    The night a faithful helper who drew near me.

  4. زن حقنا مما يقل زيفه

    لا نكتفي إلا بنص حدفه

    Weigh out our due from what is little debased.

    We are content only with half of what he tosses,

  5. من غياث لا نصيب مثله

    في برّه مُنيل خير مُفلح

    From Ghiyath, whose like we do not find

    In his beneficence—a successful bestower of good.

  6. هنّيته فأهانني هل عزّة

    منه تمثل مَن به ذلّ بدا

    I congratulated him, then he insulted me—is there honor

    From him? Picture one in whom humiliation appeared.

  7. دمع غيث عزّ من أجفاني

    لما تخلى جريه أرماني

    Rain-like tears from my eyelids grew scarce;

    When its flow ceased, it cast me down.

  8. جُز فيه فيما ينوب إن إذا

    مَن جازه في كل برّ مُنعا

    Pass through it amid whatever befalls—if, when—

    Whoever passed him was thwarted in every good deed.
