Like a Kaleidoscope (poem) / مثل كاليدوسكوب

The Lord said, "I have many names."
Dearly Beloved, to think
He has many names, 

Like a young boy viewing
The scene around him through a kaleidoscope
As if in awe of the beauty of the scene,
So I too am in awe of His Names -
But mere words fail me when the fruits of fear
Delay my prayers to God Almighty,

Whose Mercy is great.
-- Translation: AR --

 قال الرب: "لدي أسماء كثيرة".

عزيزي الحبيب، للتفكير

لديه العديد من الأسماء،

مثل صبي صغير عرض

المشهد من حوله من خلال مشكال

كما لو في رهبة من جمال المشهد،

لذلك أنا أيضا في رهبة من أسماءه -

ولكن مجرد كلمات تفشل لي عندما ثمار الخوف

تأخر صلاتي إلى الله سبحانه وتعالى،

الذي الرحمة عظيم.

The Gods Amongst Us (satire)

When all is said and done
It is like the gods —
These celebrities of the post-modern era —
Walk among us and speak to us
From big boxes connected to the world wide web,
Their fans sometimes willing to do
Almost anything, if only to meet them.
