“ﺃﺧﻔﻲ ﺍﻟﻬﻮﻯ ﻭﻣﺪﺍﻣﻌﻲ ﺗﺒﺪﻳﻪ
ﻭﺃﻣﻴﺘﻪ ﻭﺻﺒﺎﺑﺘﻲ ﺗﺤﻴﻴﻪ

ﻭﻣﻌﺬﺑﻲ ﺣﻠﻮ ﺍﻟﺸﻤﺎﺋﻞ ﺃﻫﻴﻒ
ﻗﺪ ﺟﻤﻌﺖ ﻛﻞ ﺍﻟﻤﺤﺎﺳﻦ ﻓﻴﻪ

ﻓﻜﺄﻧﻪ ﺑﺎﻟﺤﺴﻦ ﺻﻮﺭﺓ ﻳﻮﺳﻒ
ﻭﻛﺄﻧﻨﻲ ﺑﺎﻟﺤﺰﻥ ﻣﺜﻞ ﺃﺑﻴﻪ

ﻳﺎ ﻣﺤﺮﻗﺎ ﺑﺎﻟﻨﺎﺭ ﻭﺟﻪ ﻣﺤﺒﻪ
ﻣﻬﻼً ﻓﺈﻥ ﻣﺪﺍﻣﻌﻲ ﺗﻄﻔﻴﻪ

ﺃﺣﺮﻕ ﺑﻬﺎ ﺟﺴﺪﻱ ﻭﻛﻞ ﺟﻮﺍﺭﺣﻲ
ﻭﺍﺣﺮﺹ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻗﻠﺒﻲ ﻓﺈﻧﻚ ﻓﻴﻪ

ﺇﻥ ﺃﻧﻜﺮ ﺍﻟﻌﺸﺎﻕ ﻓﻴﻚ ﺻﺒﺎﺑﺘﻲ
ﻓﺄﻧﺎ ﺍﻟﻬﻮﻯ ﻭﺍﺑﻦ ﺍﻟﻬﻮﻯ ﻭﺃﺧﻴﻪ”
― ابن الفارض
