Sol 6.1

  1. هَل لِلعَزا فيكَ سَبيلُ

    يا هاجِري ما أَغدَرك

    Is there any path to solace for losing you?

    O you who forsake me, how treacherous you are!

  2. ذُدتَ الكرى عَن بَصَري

    لِلَّهِ طَرفٌ أَبصَرك

    You drove slumber from my eyes.

    God help the eye that beheld you!

  3. طاوَعتَ في أَمري النَوى

    وَلَم تَرقَ لي شَفَقا

    You sided with separation in my affair,

    and felt no tender pity for me.

  4. وَلَيسَ لي ذَنبٌ سِوى

    أَمرٌ لِحيني سَبَقا

    And I have no fault except

    a decree laid down beforehand for my doom.

  5. تَجورُ أَحكامُ الهَوى

    لَيتَ الهَوى ما خُلِقا

    Love's judgments are unjust.

    Would that love had never been created!

  6. صَيَّرَني عَبداً ذَليل

    إِذ كانَ مَولى صَيّرَك

    It made me an abject slave,

    when it had made you a master.

  7. وَلَم يَكُن في القَدر

    مِن حيلَة أَن أحذَرك

    Nor was there in fate

    any means of guarding against you.

  8. يا طَلعَةَ الشَمسِ أَما

    أَصلَحتِ ذاكَ الخَلقا

    O face of the sun, will you not

    mend that disposition?

  9. جَعَلتِ قُربي حَرَماً

    هَيَّجت جِسمي حَرقا

    You made my approach forbidden;

    you kindled burning in my body.

  10. وَلَم تَعرُج كُلَّما

    جِئتُك أَشكو الأَرَقا

    And you paid no heed whenever

    I came to you complaining of sleeplessness.

  11. وَقامَ لِلوَجدِ دَليل

    بِالسِرِّ مِنّي أَخبَرك

    And a witness to my passion arose,

    telling you my secret.

  12. أَخَذتَ في قَتلِ بَري

    وَلَم تُحَقِّق نَظَرَك

    You began to kill an innocent,

    without looking closely.

  13. حَكَمتَ حُبّي زَمَناً

    عَن عِلمِكُم مُنتَزَحا

    You held sway over my love for a time,

    though it lay far removed from your knowledge.

  14. وَلَم أَكُن أُبدي الضَنا

    وَلا كَشَفتُ البرَحا

    And I did not reveal my wasting sickness,

    nor lay bare my anguish,

  15. حَتّى إِذا الحَينُ دَنا

    أَدرَكت مِنّي لمحا

    until, when doom drew near,

    you caught a glimpse of it in me.

  16. وَكانَ مِن رَأيِ العَذول

    إِذ غَشَّني أَن أَهجُرك

    And the reproacher's counsel was,

    when he misled me, that I forsake you.

  17. وَأَنتَ بِالهَجرِ حَري

    لكِنّ وَجدي أظفَرَك

    And you deserve to be forsaken,

    but my passion gave you victory.

  18. بَردُ جَوىً في كَبِدي

    وَاِعطِف لِظَمآنٍ صَدي

    Cool the anguish in my liver,

    and show compassion to one parched with thirst,

  19. يا مَن سَباني رَشَدي

    وَبَزّ نَفسي جَلَدي

    O you who robbed me of my reason

    and stripped my soul of its fortitude.

  20. تَاللَهُ ما في جَسَدي

    مَوضِعُ لَمسٍ لِيَدِ

    By God, there is nothing in my body,

    wherever a hand might touch,

  21. إِلّا سقامٌ وَنُحول

    لَم يُبقِ لي وَلا تَرَك

    but sickness and wasting,

    which have left me nothing and spared nothing.

  22. جاوَزتَ حَدَّ البَشَرِ

    يا مُهجَتي ما أَصبَرَك

    You have surpassed the limits of humankind,

    O my soul, how patient you are!

  23. بَعدَكَ ما نِمتُ وَلا

    أَلِفتُ إِلّا السَهَرا

    Since your departure I have not slept, nor

    grown used to anything but sleeplessness,

  24. في لَيلَةٍ طالَت بِلا

    صُبحٍ وَلا ضوءٍ يُرى

    in a night that has stretched on without

    dawn or any light to be seen.

  25. فَقُلتُ وَالبَدرُ عَلى

    حينٍ مِنَ اللَيلِ سَرى

    So I said, as the full moon

    journeyed on at an hour of the night:

  26. يا لَيلُ طُل أَو لا تَطول

    لا بُدَّ لي أَن أَسهَرَك

    O night, grow long or do not grow long—

    I must stay awake through you.

  27. لَو باتَ عِندي قَمَري

    ما بِتُّ أَرعى قَمَرَك

    Had my moon spent the night with me,

    I would not have spent it watching your moon.
