"She of the Sash"
«ذات الوشاح» · نبيل صبحي
Poetry
"To her who sows every corner of the college with vigor and enchantment"
Who has seen her... and not bowed before her splendor,
humbled... enamored... murmuring: ah!
Ah, for her... if only he might clasp her... enfold her,
Ah, for her... if only he might win some of her favor —
he keeps hoping... perhaps... it may yet be...
Who has seen her... and found any other pleasing???
Who has seen her... swaying beneath the sash
like sweet dew... on the brow of morning?
Dawn laid down her color upon her cheeks,
between the crimson of desires... and the green of promises,
and chose her out... a coquette... beyond compare,
and bestowed on her of its magic... what it bestowed.
Who has seen her... and found any other pleasing??
شعر
«إلى التي تزرع أرجاء الكلية عنفواناً وفتنة»
من رآها ... وما انحنى لِيَهاها
خاشعاً ... مولعاً ... يُتمتم : آها
آهِ منها ... لو ضمَّها ... واحتواها
آهِ منها ... لو نال بعضَ رضاها
يتمنَّى ... لعلها ... وعساها
من رآها ... وأعجبتْهُ سواها ؟؟؟
من رآها ... تميسُ تحت الوشاحِ
كالنَّدى الحلوِ ... في جبين الصباحِ
عبَّدَ الفجرُ لونَها في الحدودِ
بين حُمْرِ المنى ... وخُضْرِ الوعودِ
فاصطفاها ... غنوجةً ... لا تُضاهى
وحَبَاها من سحرهِ ... ما حَبَاها
من رآها ... وأعجبتْهُ سواها ؟؟
