Sol 6.1

  1. أَيا مِن قَبيلَةُ إِقبالِهِ

    تَشُدُّ عَلى يَدِ إِجلالِهِ

    O one whose good fortune's tribe

    Strengthens the hand of his honor,

  2. وَمَن إِن أَقَرَّ عُيونَ العُفا

    ةِ أَسخَنَ أَعيُنَ عُذّالِهِ

    And who, if he cools the eyes of petitioners,

    Makes the eyes of his reprovers burn;

  3. وَمَن إِن أَتى القَصدَ مُستَقِياً

    سَقاهُ فَرَوّاهُ مِن مالِهِ

    And who, if someone comes to his goal seeking water,

    Gives him drink and quenches his thirst from his wealth;

  4. وَمِن نَظمِ الدُرِّ مِن عَدلِهِ

    عُقوداً لِأَجيادِ أَعمالِهِ

    And who has strung the pearls of his justice

    Into necklaces for the necks of his deeds;

  5. وَأَلبَسَ تِنّيسَ في زَندِها

    أَساوِرَ مَن حَلى أَفعالِهِ

    And has clothed Tinnis at her wrist

    With bracelets from the adornments of his deeds.

  6. سَقامُ الإِقامَةِ قَد هَدَّ مَن

    بِكَفِّكَ صِحَّةُ إِعلالِهِ

    The sickness of staying has worn down one

    Whose illness's cure lies in your palm.

  7. وَشَعري رَسولِيَ في حاجَتي

    لِعِلمي بِكَثرَةِ إِدلالِهِ

    And my verse is my envoy in my need,

    For I know its great, familiar boldness.

  8. وَها هُوَ قَد جاءَ مُستَعجِلاً

    فَوَقِّع بِإِنجازِ أَحوالِهِ

    And here it is, having come in haste;

    So sign for the settlement of its affairs.

  9. وَإِن كُنتَ قَد صُغتَ لي ما أَرى

    وَساقِيَ في خالِ خَلخالِهِ

    Though you have fashioned for me what I see,

    While my leg lies in its anklet's dark spot,

  10. فَقَد سارَ وَصفُكَ مِنّي عَلى

    ثَناءٍ يَجوبُ بِإِرقالِهِ

    Yet my description of you has traveled from me upon

    Praise that roams at its swift trot.

  11. وَمِثلَ اِختِصاصِكَ بي دائِماً

    يُخَصُّ بِأَكوارِ أَمثالِهِ

    And, as you always single me out for favor,

    It is favored with the camel-saddles of its peers.
