Poem (The Wonder of Al-Fiafi)

 

For the poet Dr. Suhail Abu Zuhair

I wondered how to build
From the sorrows of the ship of salvation

 

*******************

 

And she asks her land if he was watering
Shipbuilders sand you with blood

 

********************

 

And did they have patience with you, my age is drought?
And they starved or got naked in the open

 

*********************

 

Poem (The Wonder of Al-Fiafi)

 

Did they sing about the martyrs when
The sad news came with affliction

 

******************

 

And when the enemies destroyed a tower
On their magnification towards the sky

 

******************

 

And fill who soaking in my soil
The space of the universe witnessed like medicine

 

******************

 

Hands intertwined at Farah
And when there is sadness there is no B

 

******************

 

And which of them offers to His Excellency
Fahim or ignorance or mirrors

 

******************

 

And what is wrong with the wise man after Omar
Long did he go towards the courtyard

 

*******************

 

Or did they trust him to draw the path of victory?
And wear the crown of pride

 

********************

 

If they are on morals I stay
And in them they are keen on brotherhood

 

********************

 

He preached to them the consequence of victory.
And if they built ships without water
