Sol 6.1

  1. يا نفسُ أينَ جميلُ صَبْ

    رِكِ حينَ تَطرقُكِ الخُطوبُ

    O soul, where is your beautiful patience

    when calamities come knocking at you?

  2. أين احتمالُكِ ما تَكا

    دُ الرّاسياتُ لَه تَذوبُ

    Where is your endurance of what nearly

    makes the firmly rooted mountains melt?

  3. وثَباتُ جَأشِكِ حين تَض

    طَرِبُ الجَوانحُ والقُلوبُ

    And your steadfastness of heart, when

    ribs and hearts tremble?

  4. ماذا دَهاكِ إلى مَتى

    هذا التَأسُّفُ والنَّحيبُ

    What has befallen you? How long

    will this sorrow and wailing last?

  5. كيف استَزَلَّكِ بَعد صِدْ

    قِ يَقينِكِ الأملُ الكَذوبُ

    How were you made to falter, after your firm

    conviction, by deceitful hope?

  6. أرَجَوتِ أن سَيَرُدُّ مَن

    غال الرّدى دَمعٌ سَكوبُ

    Did you hope that those whom

    death snatched away would be restored by streaming tears?

  7. أم خِلتِ أنّ نوائبَ الدْ

    دُنيا لغيرِكِ لا تَنوبُ

    Or did you suppose the calamities of

    the world never befall anyone but you?

  8. هيهاتَ كُلُّ الخِلقِِ مِن

    نكباتِها لهُمُ نَصيبُ

    Far from it! All creatures have

    a share in its calamities.

  9. وبكُلِّ قَلبٍ من حَوا

    دِثِها وأسهُمِها نُدوبُ

    And in every heart, from its misfortunes

    and its arrows, are scars.

  10. من ذا الذي يَبقى على

    مَرِّ الزَّمان له حَبيبُ

    Who is there who, through

    the passage of time, still has a loved one?

  11. لكنْ يُسلِّي النَّفسَ أنْ

    نَ لَحاقَنا بهمُ قَريبُ

    But it consoles the soul that

    we shall soon join them.

  12. وإليهمُ مِن بَعدِ غَيْ

    بَتِهمْ وإن طالتْ نَئُوبُ

    And to them, after their absence,

    however long it lasts, we return.
