Representative Text

1 وجدتُ خلاًّ صادقاً
لم أدرِ عُظمَ حبه
بحبه اجتذبني
وضمني لقلبه
وحاك حول مهجتي
نسائجَ الودادِ
أسعدني ملكني
وحل في فؤادي

2 وجدتُ خلاًّ صادقاً
قد مات كي يفديني
وليس روحي وحدها
بل نفسه يعطيني
وما لديَّ كلُّهُ
وديعةُ الوهابِ
أمانة تبقى له
على مدى الأحقابِ

3 وجدتُ خلاًّ صادقاً
قد فاز بالسلطانِ
نعمةٍ يقودني
لموطن الأمانِ
عيني بإيمانٍ يُرى
أشعة الأمجادِ
يزيد عزمي والقوى
وصبري والجهادِ

4 وجدتُ خلاًّ صادقاً
برٌّ أمينٌ قادر
أبٌ مشيرٌ حافظٌ
ربٌّ عجيبٌ ظافر
وليس ما يفصلني
عن حبه العظيمِ
لا موت لا حياة لا
ضائقة الرجيمِ
