Sol 6.1

  1. نادى البشير وصبح الخير قد سفرا

    قوموا اغنموا الرزق قد وافاكمُ مطرا

    The herald called out, and the dawn of good fortune had broken:

    Rise, reap your bounty: it has come to you as rain.

  2. قوموا اغنموا الرزق قد راجت تجارتهُ

    والأمن باليمن بادٍ قد محا الخطرا

    Rise, reap your bounty: its trade has flourished.

    And safety, joined with good fortune, is plain, having banished danger.

  3. هيا بنا هاتيك الجبال إلى

    قطر النصيرية الباغي الذي اشتهرا

    Come, let us cross those mountains to

    The renowned, rebellious land of the Nusayris.

  4. نلقاه بالأمن محفوفاً وقد رتعت

    فيهِ الخراف ومعها الذئب قد خفرا

    We find it enfolded in safety, with grazing

    Sheep within it, and the wolf beside them standing guard.

  5. وأن ضللت فقل يا راشدا وكفى

    أو يا أبا حيدر لبَّاك مقتدرا

    And if you stray, cry, 'O Rashid!'—that suffices.

    Or 'O Abu Haydar!'—he answers your call in his might.

  6. فهو العزيز الذي وافاه مبتسما

    بهمة قط لم تستعظم الخبرا

    For he is the mighty one who met him with a smile,

    With a resolve that never found the tidings daunting.

  7. قد دست مولاي ذاك القطر فافتخرت

    ربوعه إذ غدت أحجارها دررا

    You trod that land, my lord, and proud grew

    Its dwellings, as their stones became pearls.

  8. فنال من دخلوا في الطوع مأملهم

    وذنبهم عند حلم منك قد غفرا

    So those who submitted attained their hopes,

    And their guilt was forgiven through your forbearance.

  9. ومن أصر على العصيان كان لهُ

    من القصاص نصيب يصدع الحجرا

    And whoever persisted in rebellion received

    A share of retribution that shatters stone.

  10. كأنهم صحب فرعون قد اصطنعوا

    حيات فعل فكانت تلدغ البشرا

    As though they were Pharaoh's company, who had fashioned

    Serpents from their deeds, which bit humankind.

  11. فقام سيفك ذو الحيَّات يمحقهم

    وغاية المكر بغياً محق من مكرا

    Then your serpent-bearing sword arose to annihilate them;

    And wrongful scheming ends in the schemer's destruction.

  12. فرّوا وطاروا مع الأرياح أين ترى

    منك الفرار وقد باكرتم سحرا

    They fled and flew with the winds—where, do you think,

    Could they flee from you, when you had set out before dawn?

  13. ضربتهم بحسام لو ضربت بهِ

    رأس الجبال لأضحى منهُ منتثرا

    You struck them with a keen blade: had you struck with it

    The mountains' summit, it would have shattered at the blow.

  14. جازيتهم سيئاً من جنس ما فعلوا

    فكان فيهِ حياة حسبما ذكرا

    You repaid them in kind for the evil they had done,

    And in that there was life, as has been said.

  15. أطفأت شر شرار كان منتشرا

    لما حرقت حمى الأشرار وانكسرا

    You extinguished the spreading evil of the wicked,

    When you burned the wicked men's stronghold, and it was broken.

  16. رفقاً بهم أيها المولى فقد ندموا

    وبحر عفوك طام قط ما جزرا

    Be gentle with them, my lord, for they are remorseful.

    And the sea of your pardon surges and has never ebbed.

  17. أُلقى السلاح وقد عاد الصلاح

    فاض السماح وحلماً منهُ قد غفرا

    Arms were laid down, and good order returned.

    Generosity overflowed, and through his forbearance pardon was granted.

  18. وعاد والأرض من ذكراه راجفةٌ

    والشمس قد أثرت في وجههِ أثرا

    And he returned, the earth trembling at the mention of him,

    And the sun had left its mark upon his face.

  19. والكون يلهج في تكرار أدعية

    واللّه في حفظهِ أحوالنا نظرا

    And the universe keeps repeating prayers,

    And God, by protecting him, has watched over our affairs.
