Claude 2

  1. يا أميمُ انظري عذاب المشوقِ

    وهواهُ في قدِّكِ المَعْشُوقِ

    O dove, look at the torment of the enamored one,

    And his passion for your graceful neck, O beloved one,

  2. صيغَ من فضَّةِ اللجينِ ومن تب

    رِ وشذرٍ وعَسْجَدٍ وعَقيقِ

    Molded from the silver of ingots and myrrh resin,

    Agate, chrysolite, carnelian and ruby.

  3. كادَ أنْ يطفئَ الغزالةَ والب

    درَجميعاً من نوره بالشروقِ

    He almost extinguished the gazelle and the full moon together,

    With his light at dawn.

  4. زوديني منه بطرفةِ عينٍ

    إن قلبي في سكرة وخُفُوقِ

    Bestow upon me a glance of your eye,

    For my heart is drunken and pounding.

  5. أيّ شىءٍ ألذُّ من نظرِ العا

    شقِ في وجهِ حِبّهِ المعشُوقِ

    What is sweeter than the look of the lover

    In the face of his beloved?

  6. أَنَا ولْهانُ من وِدادِ أميمٍ

    طولَ دهرى نشوانُ غيرُ مُفِيقِ

    I am the crazed one, from the love of Amim,

    Cheerful all my life, never waking up.

  7. عذّبتْني بهجرِها واستحلّتُ

    قتلَ صبٍّ مكبَّلِ مَوْثُوقِ

    She tortured me with her estrangement and made lawful,

    The killing of a fettered, shackled passion.

  8. ورمتْ باللحاظِ ثم تصدتْ

    وتثنتْ لنا بقدٍّ رَشِيقِ

    She glanced with her eyes, then she turned away,

    Swaying with a graceful stature.

  9. مدنَفٌ عاشقٌ رَمَتْه أميمٌ

    في عذابٍ وذلةٍ وَمَضيقِ

    A lovelorn, passionate one, thrown by Amim,

    In torment, humiliation and distress.

  10. حازتْ الحسنَ مثلَ ما أنا حزتُ

    الحبَّ مِن كل مغرمٍ ومَشُوقِ

    She earned beauty the like of what I earned,

    Of love from every enamored and passionate one.

  11. إنّ جسمي بين المرابعِ ثاوٍ

    وفؤادي في إثْر ذاكَ الفريقِ

    My body lies ill between the tombs,

    While my heart follows that company.

  12. كيفَ يلتذُّ بالرقادِ عليلٌ

    سَاوَرَتْه همومُ أهلِ العَقيقِ

    How can a sick one enjoy slumber,

    When worries of the rubied ones besiege him?

  13. أسكرتني همومُهم إذْ تولّوْا

    فكأنّي شربْتُ كأسَ رحيقِ

    Their worries intoxicated me when they turned away,

    As if I drank a cup of pure wine.

  14. لَم هذا الغرامُ فيمَنْ جفاني

    ودَعاني وَوَجْدى وخلَّى طريقي

    Why this passion for one who spurned me,

    Abandoned and left me and cleared my way?

  15. لسْتُ أصْغِى لمِن نأَى وتوَلّى

    ودعَا بالتَّشتيتِ والتفْريقِ

    I do not heed one who avoided and turned away,

    And called for separation and division.

  16. خيرُ مدحٍ في خير كلِّ البَرايَا

    أحمد قائِدٍ لنهجِ الطريقِ

    The best praise of the best of all creations,

    Ahmad the guide to the path.

  17. خصَّه اللهُ بالضياءِ وبالرحمةِ

    ثمَّ القرآن والتَّصديقِ

    God endowed him with illumination and mercy,

    Then the Quran and the truth.

  18. وحَمَاه الإلهُ عن كلِّ مختا

    لِ فخور بالأمْنِ والتوفيقِ

    And God protected him from every

    Arrogant transgressor, secured and guided.

  19. فهو سُولى وسيدِي ومَلاَذِى

    وشَفيعي من حرِّ نارِ الحريقِ

    He is my consolation and my master, my refuge,

    And my intercessor from the heat of the blaze.

  20. هزمَ الكفرَ بالنبوةِ والنص

    رِ وبالعزِّ دلَّ أهلُ الفُسُوقِ

    He defeated disbelief with prophecy and victory,

    And with might he humbled the sinful.

  21. واستنارتْ مِنْ نُورهِ كلُّ طُرْقٍ

    مثلها كالشُّموسِ أو كالبُرُوقِ

    And from his light every path was illuminated,

    Like suns or like lightning.

  22. هُوَ كَهفُ الأرباب يوم عقابٍ

    يومَ يأتونَ مِنْ فكان عميقِ

    He is the cave of the righteous on a day of punishment,

    A profound day when they will come from every deep valley.

  23. فيه يغفرُ الإله ذنوبي

    وؤحيمي في الوسْعِ أو في الضيق

    In him God forgives my sins,

    And is merciful to me in ease or hardship.
