Sol 6.1

  1. قَد أَتعب الدَهر قوى هِمَّتي

    بِما يُقاسي الحرُّ مِن دَهرِهِ

    Time has exhausted the strength of my resolve

    Through what a noble man endures at the hands of his age.

  2. فَلَيتَ مَهضوم الحَشا مسعفي

    يَوماً فَأَرتاح عَلى ظَهرهِ

    If only a slender-waisted one would come to my aid

    One day, so I might rest upon his back.
