Sol 6.1

  1. هَذا المَصيرُ وكلّ نفسٍ ذائقه

    موتاً فَفائزةٌ غَداً أَو بائِقَه

    This is the end, and every soul shall taste

    death—then tomorrow be triumphant or doomed.

  2. ما هَذهِ الأعمارُ غير مراحلٍ

    لِمنازلٍ وَبِها الورى مُتَسابِقه

    These lifespans are nothing but stages

    toward abodes, and in them humankind races.

  3. في مَن مَضى لِلغابرينَ بصائر

    لِفراقِ كلِّ مَن يراهُ مُرافِقَه

    In those who have passed are lessons for those who remain,

    on parting from all whom one regards as companions.

  4. فَلتَنظرن نفسٌ إذاً ما قدّمت

    لِغدٍ وَلا تبرَح إليه تائِقَه

    So let a soul, then, surely consider what it has sent ahead

    for tomorrow, and never cease yearning for it.

  5. وَلتَعتَبِر في ذا الضريحِ وَمن ثوى

    في لَحدهِ بَعدَ القصورِ الشاهقه

    And let it take heed of this tomb and him who rests

    in his grave, after dwelling in towering palaces.

  6. أُمراءُ جندِ البحرِ كان أميرهم

    وَلَه بِرتبتهِ المَزايا الفائِقَه

    The commanders of the navy—he was their commander,

    and by his rank he enjoyed exceptional privileges.

  7. كانَ التواضعُ خُلقهُ والبرّ بال

    مَخلوقِ لا سيما الموالي خالِقَه

    His nature was humility and kindness toward

    created beings, especially those devoted to their Creator.

  8. وَبكلمةِ التوحيدِ أنهى نطقهُ

    فَمضى بنفسٍ لِلمُهيمن شائِقَه

    And with the declaration of God's oneness he ended his speech,

    then departed with a soul yearning for the Guardian.

  9. لا غروَ إِن أَضحى قريرَ العينِ في

    جنّاتهِ الأنهارُ مِنها دافِقَه

    No wonder if his eyes now find delight in

    His gardens, from which rivers gush.

  10. فَلَقد حَوى مِفتاحها بشهادةِ ال

    إخلاصِ وَهيَ دليلُ حسنِ السابِقَه

    For he had indeed gained their key through the testimony of

    sincere faith, a sign of a favorable prior decree.

  11. فَلهُ الهناءُ بِصدقِ قول مؤرّخٍ

    حسنٌ لَه جنّاتُ عدنٍ رائِقَه

    So joy be his, for the chronogram poet speaks truly:

    "Hasan has delightful gardens of Eden."
