نَبيّ حسن لِتَوحيدِ الغَرامِ بِهِ

دَعا فَعوّذتهُ في آيةِ الكُرسي

A prophet of beautiful monotheism

I invoked protection for him in the Verse of the Throne

وَوَجههُ الشّمس في نِصفِ النّهارِ بَدت

لا شَيءَ فيها كَما في الذِّهنِ وَالحسِّ

The sun at midday showed his face

Nothing in it was like what’s in the mind or sense

أَبدى العِذارُ عَلى خَدَّيهِ مُعجِزَةً

فَأيّدتُ قَولَهُ المَقبولَ لِلنّفسِ

He displayed clear proof on his cheeks

So I supported his words, acceptable to the soul

وَقالَ أَهلُ التّصابي إِن مُعجِزَتي

أَنْ أَطلَعَ اللَّهُ ربّي اللّيلَ في الشّمسِ

The sophists said, “My clear miracle

Is that God, my Lord, showed the night in the sun.”
