[Poem #19 - sunlight graces the rose-garden]

وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَنزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً فَأَخْرَجْنَا بِهِ نَبَاتَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ فَأَخْرَجْنَا مِنْهُ
خَضِرًا نُّخْرِجُ مِنْهُ حَبًّا مُّتَرَاكِبًا وَمِنَ النَّخْلِ مِن طَلْعِهَا
قِنْوَانٌ دَانِيَةٌ وَجَنَّاتٍ مِّنْ أَعْنَابٍ وَالزَّيْتُونَ وَالرُّمَّانَ مُشْتَبِهًا
وَغَيْرَ مُتَشَابِهٍ انظُرُوا إِلَىٰ ثَمَرِهِ إِذَا أَثْمَرَ وَيَنْعِهِ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكُمْ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ

"And He it is who has caused waters to come down from the sky;
and by this means have We brought forth all living growth,
and out of this have We brought forth verdure.
Out of this do We bring forth close-growing grain;
and out of the spathe of the palm tree, dates in thick clusters;
and gardens of vines, and the olive tree, and the pomegranate:
[all] so alike, and yet so different!
Behold their fruit when it comes to fruition and ripens!
Verily, in all this there are messages indeed for people who will believe!"
