Sol 6.1

  1. أيٌّ شيء يضرُّ أهلَ السَّدادِ

    لوأعادوا عليَّ طيبَ رُقادي

    What harm would it do those of sound judgment

    if they restored to me the sweetness of my sleep?

  2. ما لَهُم ليسَ يسقمونَ سَقامي

    ما لهم ليسَ يَسْهَدُونَ سُهادي

    Why do they not share my sickness?

    Why do they not share my sleeplessness?

  3. لا تَغُرَّنكَ الدموعُ بعيني

    فهي نار تأجَّجَتِ من فؤادي

    Do not let the tears in my eyes deceive you:

    for they are fire that blazed from my heart.

  4. مَنْ معيدٌ لي الزمانَ الذي فات

    وما أن لفائت من مَعاد

    Who will restore to me the time that has passed?

    And for what has passed there is no return.

  5. لا تزدني على الذي بي وَجْداً

    ما على ما لقيت من مستزاد

    Do not add more anguish to what already afflicts me;

    there is nothing more to add to what I have endured.

  6. ليت عصر الوصال يرجعُ حتى

    أشتكي ما جناه عصرُ البِعاد

    If only the days of union would return, so that

    I could lament what the days of separation have wrought.

  7. إن قوماً بأيْكِ نعمانَ حَلّوا

    خيرُ قومٍ تَوطَّنُوا خيرَ وادي

    Indeed, a people who settled in the groves of Nu'man

    are the finest people, who made the finest valley their home.

  8. والأيادي جميعُها لِسُهيلٍ

    ما سوى ابنِ الوليدِ مُسْدى الأيادي

    And all favors belong to Suhayl;

    none but Ibn al-Walid is the bestower of favors.

  9. حفظ الله في محل وليدٍ

    سَاحةً ما خلتْ منَ الوفَّاد

    May God preserve, in Walid's abode,

    a courtyard never empty of visitors.

  10. وجوادٌ نماه سعدُ بن نبتٍ

    فأتى فائقاً لكل جواد

    And a generous man descended from Sa'd ibn Nabt

    came forth superior to every generous man.
