رأيْتُ بِبَحْرِ الغَيبِ جَيْشاً عَرَمْرَماً
ويَتْبَعُهُ بالشَّكْلِ بَحرُ خَميسِ
I saw in the sea of the unseen a speckled army
And following it in form was a pentameter sea
تَقَدَّمُهُ فَرْدٌ فَقيلَ عَرَفْتَهُ
فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ هذا أخي وجَليسي
Leading it was an individual, so it was said "Do you recognize him?"
I said "Yes, this is my brother and friend"
