Elegy of a rose

Your heart trned off the lamp and slept

So I didn’t find, for the red rose, 

A warm place to enclose her

My rose died

Without knowing

Who is she

And who is that one who 

sneaked towards the jungles

to sleep..running away from her

you waiter..who is busy with arranging the café in my depths

stop mewing

since in this night..a sole lamp puts us together

so we sit..drink..nightchat..cry or laugh

lamps here don’t be extinguished

like those in the heart of my beloved one

my love sleep..

since whenever your heart turns off the lamp and sleep

I sneak to the café

.Running away from your night

———————

I want life

Because I want life,

I sing with the voice of a team

Holding my heart,

I chase myself, and win.

That’s how I pass the road..

Because I want life

I freely live,

On the road that soothes my pain,

With a face as clear as water,

Glowing in the night

And making a friend, out of my face.

Like flowers,

I embrace my fragrance

And play with the breeze of passion,

Blowing through my branches

In my hand, there is nectar

to eliminate the fire.

أزهرتْ في Ø£Ø¹Ù…اقي

سلالةٌ Ù…Ù† الياسمين

إستيقظتْ على Ø²Ù‚زقةٍ

في Ù…تنزهاتِ قلبي

كنتُ أجُرُّ Ø­Ø¨Ø§Ù„ÙŽ الصوتِ

كي Ø£Ø´Ø¹Ø±ÙŽ بالدفء

كنتُ أمسحُ Ø¨Ø§Ù„عطرِ

كنتُ أجفِّفُ Ù…لابسي

وأعصرُ ذاكرتي

تحتَ سدرةِ المنتهى

يراودني Ø®ÙŠØ§Ù„ÙŒ

لامرأةٍ Ù…ثلي

تُفتضُ شُرفَتُها

فتدخلُ Ø¯Ø§Ø¦Ø±Ø©Ù الضوء 

إمرأةٌ مثلي

حُبلى بالشمس 

وأخرى ÙˆØ§Ù‚فةٌ

على سلِّم أحلامي

تقطعُ تذاكرَ Ø§Ù„صعود 

طيرانٌ في Ø±Ø­Ù„ةِ أنثى

تكملُ دراستَها

في بلدِ الخريف

***

خيوطٌ من Ø®ÙØµÙŽÙŠÙ„اتِ فتاةٍ

أنسجُها Ù„أيام الشتاء

المثقلةِ بالنعاس  

وخُصُـلاتٌ Ù„فتاةٍ أخرى

جلست فوق صندوقِ الأغاني

تضغطُ Ø¨Ø£ØµØ§Ø¨Ø¹Ù‡Ø§

على أوتارِ قلبي

كاصطدامِ Ø§Ù„مطر

في شوارعِ Ø§Ù„رحيل

***

سجدةٌ Ù„امرأةٍ Ù…ثلي

لا أعرفها

تسقطُ كالغيمةِ

في أوراقي

تزرعُ أزهاراً

من سلالاتٍ أخرى

ترسمني في

دفاترِها

حُلماً

امرأة ٌ

تُسمعني

صوتَ أغنيةٍ 

قادمةٍ 

   Ù…Ù† Ø§Ù„فردوس.

 ÙƒÙ„مايكفيللنهاية

كان لديَّ 

بقايا سقوفْ

وبعضُ أجزاءِ Ø³ÙÙŠÙ†Ø©

 ÙˆØ·Ù† الأقواس

مثلَ Ø§Ù„طيرِ ØªÙˆØ§Ø±Ù‰

لا تؤويهِ Ø§Ù„طرقُ Ø§Ù„مملوءَةُ بالناسْ 

لا تحميهِ Ù…ساجدُ أو حراسْ

يبحثُ عن وطنٍ .. 

لا يقتنصُ الأحلامَ ÙˆÙ„ا 

يفترسُ الأنفاسْ

وطنٍ ÙˆØ±Ø¯ÙŠÙ‘ٍ  

من حلمٍ Ù‚زحيِّ الأقواسْ

يتدثرُ بي 

مثلَ الطفلِ Ùˆ في مدرستي .. 

يصنعُ Ø·Ø§Ø¦Ø±Ø©Ù‹ Ù…Ù† ورقٍ

أو يرسمُ Ù‚لباً Ø£Ø­Ù…رْ 

يكتب ُعنكَ كما يكتبُ عني 

أنشودةَ Ø­Ø¨Ù‘ٍ في الدفترْ

يبحثُ عن وطني 

خلفَ جدائل ِ نخلة 

أو تحتَ عباءةِ أمي 

مثلي أو أكثرَ مني 

لا أدري ..!
