سئم الأحلامَ كَذْباً ونفاقا

فامتطى الشوقَ إلى الله سباقا

He grew weary of dreams, lies and hypocrisy

So he raced with yearning to God eagerly

ما انحنت هامتُهُ مسكنةً

واستقلَّ الشمسَ سعياً وانطلاقا

His pride was never bowed down in grief

As he rose to the sun seeking freedom and glee

حينما حنَّتْ حناياه إلى

عَبَقِ التُربْ أبى العيشَ وضاقا

When his sides bent down to

The fragrance of soil, he refused life in ennui

أسرجَ النَّفس إلى بارئها

قُرُباتٍ ثُمَّ زكَّاها اشتياقا

He saddled his soul to its Creator

With offerings, then purified it longingly
