[ رِثَاءُ صَفِيَّةَ لِأَبِيهَا عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ ] فَقَالَتْ صَفِيَّةُ ابْنَةُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ تَبْكِي أَبَاهَا: : أَرِقْتُ لِصَوْتِ نَائِحَةٍ بِلَيْلٍ عَلَى رَجُلٍ بِقَارِعَةِ الصَّعِيدِ فَفَاضَتْ عِنْدَ ذَلِكُمْ دُمُوعِي عَلَى خَدِّي كَمُنْحَدِرِ الْفَرِيدِ عَلَى رَجُلٍ كَرِيمٍ غَيْرِ وَغْلٍ لَهُ الْفَضْلُ الْمُبِينُ عَلَى الْعَبِيدِ عَلَى الْفَيَّاضِ شَيْبَةَ ذِي الْمَعَالِي أَبِيكِ الْخَيْرِ وَارِثِ كُلِّ جُودِ صَدُوقٍ فِي الْمَوَاطِنِ غَيْرِ نِكْسٍ وَلَا شَخْتِ الْمَقَامِ وَلَا سَنِيدٍ طَوِيلِ الْبَاعِ أَرْوَعَ شَيْظَمِيٌّ مُطَاعٍ فِي عَشِيرَتِهِ حَمِيدٍ رَفِيعِ الْبَيْتِ أَبْلَجَ ذِي فُضُولٍ وَغَيْثِ النَّاسِ فِي الزَّمَنِ الْحَرُودِ كَرِيمِ الْجَدِّ لَيْسَ بِذِي وُصُومِ يَرُوقُ عَلَى الْمُسَوَّدِ وَالْمَسُودِ عَظِيمِ الْحِلْمِ مِنْ نَفَرٍ كِرَامٍ خَضَارِمَةٍ مَلَاوِثَةٍ أُسُودٍ فَلَوْ خَلَدَ امْرُؤٌ لِقَدِيمِ مَجْدٍ وَلَكِنْ لَا سَبِيلَ إلَى الْخُلُودِ لَكَانَ مُخَلِّدًا أُخْرَى اللَّيَالِي لِفَضْلِ الْمَجْدِ وَالْحَسَبِ التَّلِيدِ
Translation
✧ [ Ṣafiyyah's Elegy for Her Father ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib ] Ṣafiyyah bt. ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib said, weeping for her father: : I lay awake at the sound of a wailing woman in the night, upon a man at the stony tract of the hard ground; and then my tears overflowed Upon my cheek, like a string of pearls slipping down; upon a noble man, not base, Who has manifest excellence over the servants; upon the bountiful Shaybah, possessor of lofty deeds, Your father of goodness, heir of every generosity; truthful in the assemblies, not a laggard, Nor weak of standing, nor a leaner; long of reach, majestic, tall, Obedient within his clan, praiseworthy; lofty of house, radiant, possessor of virtues, And the rain of the people in the barren time; noble of lineage, without blemishes, He surpasses both the chief and the common; great of forbearance, from a noble band, Generous, fierce, lions; if any man could be immortal due to ancient glory, But there is no way to immortality; he would have been made immortal through the rest of the nights, For the excellence of glory and the inherited noble descent.
