Analysis of إِلْهَامْ (Ilhaam) Intuition
Muhanned Elsayyid 1981 (Omdurman)
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.
