كيف بدّك تفسّر وجود الدرب الحقيقي؟
بالكلام؟ ما رح تزبط، هيدا كلام فاضي
اللي بلا اسم هو سرّ السما والأرض
واللي إله اسم، محصور بكلمات
بس جوهر الشي، بأي اسم بتسميه؟
التنين من نفس البذرة، من نفس الحقيقة

الشهوات بتخلينا نضيع
واللي حرّ من الشهوة، بيوصل للجوهر
وبيشوف المخفي ورا المظاهر العشوائية
من الكلمة للمعنى — هايدا درب الأعجوبة

شو هو الخير؟ شو هو الشر؟
تعريفات، بنحطها نحنا
منسمي الشغلة، ومنعطيها شكل وقياس
الحُسن ما بيبين إلا جنب القُبح
والموت بينفهم كغياب الحياة
الطويل طويل لأنه في شي أقصر
والعالي عالي لأنه طالع من تحت
والنغمة؟ بدها نغمة تانية ليصير في لحن
وكل شي بيلحق شي: المستقبل، الحاضر، والماضي

الحكيم ما بيعمل — بيخلي الأمور تصير لحالها
بيعلم بسكوت، من غير صوت ولا كلمة
بيخلق، بس ما بيملك
وبيحرّك الأمور من غير قوة، مرّة ورا مرّة
بيولد التغيير بلا تعب ولا فخر
ولمّا الشي يكمل، ما بيتفاخر ولا بيطلب شكر
ومع هيك، ما بيخسر لا احترامو ولا محبّتو لنفسو
