محمد مهدي الجواهري - سلاما كلـه قبـل
لقد اسرى بي ألأجل وطول مسيرة ملـل
وطول مسيرة من دون غاي مطمع خجـل
اقـول وربمـا قـول يـدل بـه ويبتهـل
الاهل ترجع ألأحلام ماكحلت بـه المقـل
وهل ينجاب عن عيني ليـل مطبـق ازل
كأنّ نجومه ألأحجار في الشطرنج تنتقـل
يلاحق بعضها بعضـا فمـا تنفـك تقتتـل
الا , هل قاطع يصلُ لما عيت به الرسـل
وياأحبابي الأغلين من قطعوا ومن وصلوا
ومن هم نخبة اللذات عندي حيـن تنتحـل
هم إذ كل من صافيـت مدخـول ومنتحـل
سلاما كلـه قبـل كـأن صميمهـا شعـل
