شهدت ولم أشهد لحاظاً لحظته

وحسب لحاظٍ شاهد غير مشهد

I witnessed, though I did not witness the moment's glance,

And the witnessing of a glance is enough, not what is witnessed.

وغبت مغيباً غاب للغيب غيبه

فلاح ظهور غيبه غير مفقد

I was absent with an absence that had vanished into absence,

Then the appearance of its hiddenness shone, not lost.
