إِلْهَامْ (Ilhaam) Intuition

Muhanned Elsayyid 1981 (Omdurman)

October 23 
       Intuition                                            إِلْهَامْ

                                                                                         
I gave respite                         (Am-Hal-To)      أَمْهَلْتُ

And was neglected           (Fa-Uh-Mil-To)    فَأُهْمِلْتُ

Struck by intuition              (Fa-Ul-Him-To)   فَأُلْهِمْتُ

Oh the pains she                 (Aa-La-Ma-Ha)    آلَآمَهَا
felt in that position!           

About this poem

I chased my heart’s desire for a woman once until she exhausted all the love I had for her. And once that resonated in my heart and I stopped chasing her, she began chasing a ghost.
