صَدَعَ الظَّلاَمَ بِهَا وَحَثَّ كُؤُوسَهَا

صَدَعَ الظَّلاَمَ بِهَا وَحَثَّ كُؤُوسَهَا

صِرْفاً بغَيْرِ بُلاَلَةٍ مِنْ مَاءِ

فَلَوَ انَّهُمْ نَظَرُوا إلَى أَحْشَائِهِ

لَرَأَوْهُ مِثْلَ حُبَاحِبِ الظَّلْمَاءِ

لَرَأَوْهُ مِثْلَ حُبَاحِبِ الظَّلْمَاءِ

They would surely have seen him like a firefly in the darkness.
