يا سَمِيَّ النَبِيِّ في سورَةِ الجِنِّ

وَيا ثانِيَ العَزيزِ بِمِصرِ

O the one mentioned in the chapter of Jinn

And O the second of the Dear in Egypt

تَرَكَت لَيلَةُ الصَراةِ بِقَلبي

جَمرَ شَوقٍ أَحَرَّ مِن كُلِّ جَمرِ

The night of sorrow left in my heart

Embers of longing more scorching than any embers

باشَرَ الماءَ فَهوَ في رِقَّةِ الصَن

عَةِ كَالماءِ غَيرَ أَن لَيسَ يَجري

He touched water, yet with the softness of branch

Is like water, except it does not flow

جَمَشَ الماءُ جِلدَهُ الرَطبَ حَتّى

خِلتُهُ لابِساً غِلالَةَ جَمرِ

The water dried his moist skin until

I imagined him wearing a coat of embers
