Sol 6.1

  1. ما خَطَر السُّلوانُ فِي بَالي

    فما الّذي أَطمعَ عُذّالي

    Forgetting has never crossed my mind;

    so what has given my reproachers hope?

  2. وجدِي بهمْ في اليومِ كالأمسِ ما

    غيّرَهُ ما حَالَ من حَالي

    My longing for them today is as yesterday's; nothing

    that has changed in my circumstances has altered it.

  3. أهوَى وما حَظِّيَ منهُم كما

    أَهوَى وَلا قَلبِيَ بالسّالِي

    I love, but my share from them is not as

    I wish, nor does my heart forget.

  4. لجَاجةٍ في الحبِّ ما تَحتَها

    سوى صَبابَاتِي وبِلبَالي

    Obstinacy in love, with nothing beneath it

    but my ardent yearnings and my turmoil.

  5. لِيَ القِلَى منهُم ومِن لاَئِمي

    فيهم طويلُ القيلِ والقَالِ

    From them I receive hatred, and from my reproacher

    on their account, lengthy talk and gossip.

  6. وما أُبالِي بالّذي نَالَني

    لو أَنَّني منهم على بَالِ

    And I would not care what has befallen me,

    if only I were in their thoughts.

  7. يا قمراً في غُصنِ بانٍ على

    نَقاً مَهُولٍ غيرِ مُنهالِ

    O moon upon a bān-tree bough, above

    an imposing sand dune that does not crumble!

  8. ميّلَكَ الواشِي فَما حيلتي

    في أَهيَفِ القامَةِ ميّالِ

    The talebearer has swayed you; what recourse have I

    with one of slender stature, so prone to sway,

  9. مُستَهْتِرٍ بالهَجرِ ألقَاهُ في ال

    أَحلامِ وهو المُعرِضُ القَالِي

    reckless in forsaking me? I meet him in

    dreams, yet he turns away in hatred.

  10. نَاظِرُهُ الفتّاكُ لا ناظِرٌ

    علَى تَعَدِّيهِ ولا وَالي

    His murderous eye—there is no overseer

    over its transgressions, nor any governor.

  11. يحكُمُ في أرواحِنا طَرْفُهُ

    حكمَ أَبي الغَاراتِ في المَالِ

    His gaze rules over our souls

    as Abu al-Gharat rules over wealth.
