لما نَعَى الناعِي رَحِيلكَ باكِياً
غَشِيَ القُلُوبَ تَوَجُّعٌ وسَقامُ
السُّهْدُ ضَجَّ بِلَيْلِنا وتَرَاكَمَتْ
كُتَلُ الأسَى واسْوَدَّتِ الأيَّامُ
شَطَّتْ بِنا الأحْزانَ حِينَ تَقَصَّفَتْ
أغْصانُ دَوْحٍ نَاحَ فِيهِ حَمامُ
يا لوْعَةً في النفْسِ شَبَّ أوَارُها
حِينَ افْتِقادُكَ ما اسْتقامَ كَلامُ
هَبَّتْ رِياحٌ للنَّوَى وتَباعَدَتْ
مِنَا المَسافَةُ فالطَّرِيقُ قَتامُ
أَأَقُولُ غبْتَ وهَلْ يَغِيبُ مُعَلِّمٌ
ولَهُ مَكانٌ فِي القُلُوبِ مُقامُ؟
نُسِجَتْ خُيُوطُ الآهِ مِنْ فُقْدانِهِ
فَكَأَنَّما مَلَأَ القُلُوبَ ضِرامُ
يا مَنْ بَنَى صَرْحَ الصَّحافَةِ شامِخاً
فيه النُّهَى.. والمَوْقِفُ المِقْدامُ
وخَلِيجُنا العَرَبِيُّ حَلَّ بِدارِهِ(*)
ضَيْفاً عَزِيزاً ما اعْتَراهُ خِصامُ
واخْتارَ مِنْ جَوْفِ الخَلِيجِ لَآلِئاً
أعْلامَ فِكْرٍ ذِكْرُهُمْ إلْهامُ
قَدْ عانَدَتْهُ هُمُومُ أمَّتِهِ التي
لَعِبَتْ بِها الأطْماعُ والأوْهامُ
ولَحَا بَناتِ الفِكْرِ عَلَّ جُمُوحُها
يَنْقادُ طَوْعاً كَيْ يَعُمَّ سَلامُ
يا مَنْ يُضاهِي النَّجْمَ فِي عَلْيائِهِ
وبِعَزْمِهِ تَتَجَسَّدُ الأحْلامُ
ناجَيْتَ فِي جُنْحِ اللّيالِي عَالَماً
فِي ظِلِّهِ يَتَفَيَّأ الأعْلامُ
فِيهِ المَعارِفُ والعُلُومُ قِطافُها
يَهْوَى جَناهُ مُثابِرٌ عَلّامُ
ولَقَدْ صَنَعْتَ مِنَ الحُرُوفِ كَواكِباً
لتُنِيرَ دَرْباً للبِناءِ يُقامُ
يا مَنْ رَسَمْتْ عَلى أدِيمِ وُجُودِنا
مَعْنَى التَّفاؤُلِ إِنْ يَحُلُّ ظَلامُ
ونَسَجْتَ مِنْ وَحْيِّ الطُمُوحِ مَلاحِماً
فِيها انْفِتاحُ الرَّأْي والإقِدامُ
ووَهْبْتَ للأَحْساءِ جُهْدَكَ كَيْ تَرَى
فِي حُبِّها تَتَنافَسُ الأقْلامُ
ونَذَرْتَ نَفْسَكَ فِي الحِياةِ لأجْلِها
وعَلَيْكَ مِنْ حُلَلِ الوَفاءِ وِسامُ
فِيها غَدٌ تَكْفِي ابْتِسامَةُ ثَغْرِهِ
لِيَشِعَّ مِنْهُ نُورُها البَسّامُ
جَمَعَتْ بَنِيها أُلْفَةٌ ويَسُودُهُمْ
حُبٌّ تَجَلَّى صَادَقاً ووِئامُ
وهُمُ عَلى العَهْدِ الذِي بَلَغُوا بِهِ
شُمَّ الذُّرَى لَمْ تَثْنِهِمْ أوْهامُ

سَجِّلْ عَلى سِفْرِ الزَّمانِ مَناقِباً
كيْ تَقْتَدِي الأجْيالُ حِينَ تُضامُ
وارْحَلْ فَذِكْرُكَ لمْ يَزَلْ مُتَحَدِّياً
مَرَّ السنينِ.. وفِكْرُكَ الإلِهامُ
