A POEM THAT CONTAINS INTERTEXTUALITY

أقول لمقلتيه حين نام وسحر النوم في الأجفان سار
تبارك من توفاكم بليل ويعلم ماجرحتم بالنهار
I say to his eyes when he sleeps
and the magic of sleeping goes in the eyelids
It is He,Who takes your souls by night(when you are asleep),
and has knowledge of all that you have done by day.

Here we have intertextuality in the second line that prallels
with the verse of Alan3am
وهو الذي يتوفاكم باليل ويعلم ما جرحتم بالنها"ر"


i hope that my translation is good
