ما اسمُ فتىً حرُوفُهُ

تصحيفُها إنْ غُيّرَتْ

What is the name of a man whose letters

Jumbled up remain the same

في الخَطّ عن ترتيبها

مُقْلَتُهُ إن نَظَرَتْ

In script should their order change

And reversed too stays his name

أدعُو لهُ من قَلْبِهِ

بعَوْدَةٍ مِنْهُ سَرَتْ

My heart prays he'll turn around

And be at peace from inner pains
