Umm Ḥakīm's elegy for her father ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib
[ رِثَاءُ أُمِّ حَكِيمٍ لِأَبِيهَا عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ ] وَقَالَتْ أُمُّ حَكِيمٍ الْبَيْضَاءِ بنتُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ تَبْكِي أَبَاهَا:: أَلَا يَا عَيْنُ جُودِي وَاسْتَهِلِّي وَبَكِّي ذَا النَّدَى وَالْمَكْرُمَاتِ أَلَا يَا عَيْنُ وَيْحَكَ أَسْعِفِينِي بِدَمْعٍ مِنْ دُمُوعٍ هَاطِلَاتٍ وَبَكِّي خَيْرَ مَنْ رَكِبَ الْمَطَايَا أَبَاكِ الْخَيْرُ تَيَّارَ الْفُرَاتِ طَوِيلَ الْبَاعِ شَيْبَةَ ذَا الْمَعَالِي كَرِيمَ الْخِيمِ مَحْمُودَ الْهِبَاتِ وَصُولًا لِلْقَرَابَةِ هِبْرَزِيّا وَغَيْثًا فِي السِّنِينَ الْمُمْحِلَاتِ وَلَيْثًا حَيْنَ تَشْتَجِرُ الْعَوَالِي تَرُوقُ لَهُ عُيُونُ النَّاظِرَاتِ عَقِيلَ بَنِي كِنَانَةَ وَالْمُرَجَّى إذَا مَا الدَّهْرُ أَقْبَلَ بِالْهَنَاتِ وَمَفْزَعَهَا إذَا مَا هَاجَ هَيْجٌ بِدَاهِيَةٍ وَخَصْمَ الْمُعْضِلَاتِ فَبَكِّيهِ وَلَا تسمي بِحُزْنٍ وَبَكِّي، مَا بَقِيَتْ، الْبَاكِيَاتُ
Translation
✧ [Umm Ḥakīm's elegy for her father ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib] Umm Ḥakīm al-Bayḍāʾ bt. ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib said, weeping for her father: Alas, O eye, be generous and begin to flow; weep for this man of munificence and noble deeds. Alas, O eye, woe to you, assist me with tears from abundant, pouring weepings. Weep for the best of those who have ridden mounts: your father, goodness itself, the abundant flood of the Euphrates. Tall of reach, Shaybah of lofty aspirations, noble of nature, praised in his gifts. One who maintains kinship ties, a lordly man, and a rain-laden cloud in barren years. A lion when spears clash, at whom the eyes of beholders gaze with delight. The chieftain of the sons of Kinānah and the one hoped for when the age brings misfortunes. Its refuge when a calamity stirs with a grave disaster, and the adversary of intractable difficulties. So weep for him, and do not desist in sorrow; weep, as long as the weepers remain.
