What Is the Required Word?
ما هي الكلمة المطلوبة
What three-lettered name is there
in which all the syllables meet, though it has no body?
However its letters may be shuffled about,
it yields a meaning of sound form.
And if you look at it attentively,
you will see all of that in the dream.
ما اسم ثلاثي به اجتمعت
كل المقاطع غير ذي جسم
مهما تقلبت الحروف به
يأتي بمعنى صالح الرسم
واذا نظرت اليه منتبهاً
فجميع ذلك تراه في الحلم
