This is shown in these powerful lines:

صافَيْتِنِي الوُدَّ أعوامًا وأعواما

وكُنتِ لي وَحيَ أشعـاري وإلْـهـامـا

وكُنتِ لي واقِعًا حَيًّا أُلامِسُهُ

ومُرتَجٰى الأمَلِ الآتي وأحلاما

وكُنتِ لي مَوْئِلًا للحُبِّ أقصِدُهُ

كَيْما أُلِمُّ بِفَنِّ الحُبِّ إِلْماما

والعِشقُ إظهارُ ما في القلبِ مِنْ وَلَهٍ

ما العِشْقُ إنْ كانَ إِدلامًا وإِدغاما

لا تَعذِليني إذا أمعَنْتُ في وَمَقي

فَإِنَّ في شِرعَةِ العُشّاقِ أَحكاما

عُمانُ يا مَوْطِنَ الأحرارِ كَمْ عَرَفَتْ

عنكِ المآثِرُ تصميمًا وإقداما

تَحكي قِلاعُكِ للتاريخِ مَلْحَمَةً

ضِدَّ الغُزاةِ ومَنْ حولَ الحِمٰى حاما

أَنّٰى نَظَرتُ جمالٌ فيكِ يأْسِرُني

أَسْرَ الطبيعةِ غِـزلانًا وآراما

فالباسِقاتُ بِمَدِّ الشَّوْفِ في سَمَقٍ

زاهٍ يَمِدنَ إذا صادَفْنَ أَنساما

والرّاسياتُ سَمَتْ فوقَ السَحابِ وقَد

شادَتْ لها في شُموخٍ بَيّنٍ هاما

وفي السّواقي وفي الأَفلاجِ كم عَزَفَتْ

قيثارةُ العَزمِ والتّصميمِ أنغاما

فَرَدّدَتها سُهولُ الخَيْرِ مُمْرِعَةً

وكَلَّلَ الخِصبُ وديانًا وآكاما

إنْ غِبتُ عنكِ إليكِ الشّوقُ يَجذِبُني

ولو توارَيْتُ عن مَغناكِ أيّاما

فَلا جُناحَ على مَنْ قَد أَحَبَّ وهل

ضَـيْرٌ على العاشِقِ الهَيْمانِ إنْ هاما
