so that a child, somewhere in Gaza
while looking heaven in the eye
awaiting his dad who left in a blaze—

This Episode in Arabic. Why Do You Ask
لماذا تسأل
َدخلت َُألبابَ رافعاً هامتيْ دونَ أن اخجلْ
فلماذا تسأل؟
َدمي عربيٌ مرويٌ من ماءِ َزمزمْ
وإخواني في هذا الكونِ أكبرُ واكثرْ
والليلُ والنهارُ واسودُ الغاباتُ تعرفني
أنا الليثُ ينحني لي ََو يفزعْ
عندي سؤال اليكَ قبل أن تسأل
أليس تعرف أجدادي؟
هم سادو الكون من قبلي
وهم كانو مني افضل
أم أن جيلي الضعيف أنساك أني
حفيد لأمراء البحور؟
وأنا أمير ابن أمير ....
قد ذل عبر السنين واكثر
فلماذا تسأل؟
فهي هامتي ....
تلك إلهامه شامخة…

قصيدة من هي بقلم محمد بدر ٓمن ِْهيٓ؟
ٓمقدسيةٌ ، ٓخليليةٌ ، أجنبِيٓةٌ
أم أميرة من ديار نائيه؟
هي النجم ٓوالبدر في سماءٍ عاليه
وهي الشمس والدفئ
في ليلةِِ برد عاتيه
وهي الام ُوالصديقُه للايام ِالتأليه
ٓبحثت ُعنها مشرقاً ومغرباً
وإذ هي تأتي امامي دانية
احبتي،
نسيتها ونسيت لباب افكارها
فمن هيه؟
هي ٓتحمل ٓجرةً فوقٓ رأسها
ٓتلبس ثوباً مطرزاً
بأحلام وانبات مثمرة
تتحدي التاريخ بذراعيها
وتمشي فوق الدمار
تحطم القيد وتلعن الحصار
هي رمزٌ للمحبةِ والاصرارْ
ُتطِرزُ خارطةً علي ٓجبينها
وتنادي بعلو...
