Beirut October, 1973

عند “الوداع” إن رست جبال المشيب على كتفيك وعصفت عواصف الزمان في دنياك يوماً ونال منك الوهن فما لك من نصير يا صاحبي إلا الشجاعة والصبر، حديقة العقل طعم ثمارها حصافة الفكر وبعث الآمال من مناهل الرشد. لذا خذ المداد من عصارة العصور حكمةً وامسك بصوارم الإيمان واكتب على وميض نصالها العمر كله رمال صحراء […]

October War 1973

Egypt the brave, the triumphant the great Holding the reins of time in a clever hand Having completely prepared signaled date Six October She cried and the world hushed Listening for the first shot across the canal Which registered for the Arabs a new fate Shadows of ghastly shapes flying were seen Stretching range no […]

Countrymen

Why should you tarry so long in your defile Speed to the heights showing how to climb the slopes On top look at the UN’s tavern and smile Where all the weaker nations have lost their hopes Be not like a slumbering cloud on a crag Breathing out in the air drying without rain That’s […]

Break A Stone

Break a stone, the shattered chips’ll counteractThe wrack of a natural existenceBy the vexed flying bits of resistanceTo keep the original state intactAll beings have self defense as can beMan, animal, plant matter all reactWhen usurped of their freedom and attackedTo preserve unscathed their own entityNature willingly never willed a changeSince the primal chaos was […]

The City of Seven Gates By crystal gazing was eyed an image Of a prophecy told long long before By the sages of a remote dim age That Salah shall be coming to restore The freedom of the Arab land again Should we believe in sages when we read About the man who was the […]

Better stop hugging your ill’sions of Power And remember those dreadful tyrants of might Who oft’n fanned the […]

From “A Child Forlorn”

Men through the ages my story should read, A child forlorn driven out of my land, Walking the years in memories to bleed And the world refused to give me a hand I walked on the desert of time e’erywhere Not a tree, not a blossom, not a stream, Nothing but the barren sands and […]

My Good Neighbors

My good neighbors fled away, Professeurs et Chanteurs, And since my days that were of constant pleasure Were faintly feeding on memory With so often my thoughts reeved through the Swallow of my mind Searching for a fading reality, Caught with the arm of melancholy Across a barren field of despair; Once a forest behind […]
