Sol 6.1

  1. صواب لقلبى فى أساك يصاب

    ونفسى لها أن لم تصاب عذاب

    It is fitting that my heart be stricken by your sorrow.

    And my soul would suffer torment were it not stricken.

  2. وعينى لها ان لم تفض أدمعا على

    مصابك يا ابن الاكرمين ذهاب

    And my eye, should it not shed tears over

    your affliction, O son of the noblest, would perish.

  3. أيا ماجد قد جد بى الوجد حسرة

    ووجدى لوجد قد عراك صواب

    O Majid, grief has pressed hard upon me with anguish.

    And my grief for the grief that has befallen you is fitting.

  4. فلو أن وجد المرء يرجع فائتا

    لجاءك مما قد أساء جواب

    For if a person's grief could bring back what is lost,

    an answer would come to you from what has caused harm.

  5. فكن يا ابن ودى عن أسائك معرضا

    وقل للاسى غيرى عليك يعاب

    So turn away from your sorrow, O son of my dear friend,

    and tell sorrow, 'Let another, not me, be reproached on your account.'

  6. فانك أدنى الناس للحزم نسبة

    وذو الحزم داعى الحزن منه يهاب

    For of all people, you are closest in kinship to firm resolve,

    and the herald of sorrow fears a man of firm resolve.

  7. ومثلك لا يحتاج لى في وصية

    ولكن قلبى في أساك مصاب

    And one like you has no need of me for counsel,

    but my heart is stricken by your sorrow.
