I'm confused about how to begin the poems
And the letters are moaning in my book
From the injustice of people
Who are fanning the flames
And to slaughter us, they formed a gang
But the dignity of a child or an old man
They play with it like a ball
And so that neighbour remains by neighbour
I want to blow up the houses of poetry
And rid my loved ones of the woes
-2-
The dignity of a people
His hands are open
And he's accustomed to doing good
The dignity of a nation
They made into a swing
And rode on its back.
And they prolonged it
The dignity of the cedar tree,
Its branches stripped
Our mother.
Whose worship we worship
The wolves of the people
Will have their souls taken
And we will agree,
Muslims and Christians
And in the air,
We will raise the flag of my country.

O people, by God,
it has been too long This war
That scattered us in a thousand paths
We watered the world
With the tears of our eyes
And at the same time,
The fire burned within our hearts
And there are no more places in our hands
Our hands are worn out
From the nails of the cross
O Lord, keep Your eye on us
We are the ones who planted high above
The cedar that is called today...
-4-
Our men sacrificed
So that the land might hear.
What is written in their book:
"These are people whose fire is shining
And no one has defiled the sanctuary
Of their forests
These are the ones
for whom the heart of the cedar’s aches
From the day they departed.
These are the ones
Whose glory is hard to regain
The glory of the world planted in their soil
These are the ones in whose hearts
They fought the cannon
And Lebanon remains a piece of heaven
They were willing to sacrifice
Their finest youth.
-5-
History told how we made the world
A paradise of bliss,
Adorned with its ideas
And all the peoples of the earth bowed
Before freedom and the glory
Of its free men.
And whoever was wronged in a land
Where he was demonized
And could no longer distinguish its night
From its day Her day
He comes to Lebanon. for a happy life
In a land where poetry flows from its poets
What has befallen us?!
Even the scents are foul
And skulls have marred its flowers
And every leader,
With a single word of sedition
Sows hunger, madness, and blood in our land
And then he warms himself
By the flames of its fire?!
-6-
Where have we ended up?!
And why have the roads swallowed us up
And their dust erased our names?!
And every year the sun sets
Bathes in the water of our streams
And shines its laughter...
If we laugh... peoples
And chokes on tears... if we cry
It's a shame the wheel turns upside down
And our old man waits at the port
For the sake of the eye of the angry fox
The worker, the guardian of the land
And the vineyards
Secretly he steals Our world!
-7-
They divided us into streets and squares
And threw hatred into our sweet hearts
Our independence,
Which hadn't even had a chance
To be born... died
They crucified it on your soft jaws
And turned coexistence into a pile of garbage
When we spilled our blood with relish
And the hours began to pass over us
And the hands of the clock
Twisted with anguish
And we were saying goodbye
Here are the naps,
And dreams that died treacherously
In the slumber
For the sake of destroying some of them,
The leaders made our people
Ladders and steps
And religion is the closest path... to wealth.
-8-
Our country...
God created it different from others...
And said: I will support you
I will turn you into a sectarian graveyard
Translate it all the way to hell I'll stone you
I'm a rice dish...
A source of pride for the whole universe
And the smile on my lips
Is reflected in your smile
Your people...
I don't want them to ever carry
An incense burner
And burn incense for the corrupt rulers
Who govern you
This leadership has hearts of stone
They kneel and pray lies during the day
And without pity,
At night they execute you!
-9-
If you ever applauded a leader,
You must quickly cut off your fingers
And shout loudly:
Forgive me, O Merciful One!
Bow your neck and shed your tears.
He is the one
Who made our country live in hell,
He is the one
Who burned your candles on his altar,
He is the one
Who intentionally destroyed
The gardens of bliss,
He is the one who stole
Until you died from Your hunger
And it is from him
That the accursed Satan feared
When he killed our mothers
And burned our homes
And prevented you, my brother,
From achieving your return.
-10-
Your solution is to understand
What I am telling you:
Your country was ruined by its leadership
That knew, my brother,
How to possess its resources.
And a hand on its neck
And before the eyes of the people,
It is You're perishing
And you're selling your harvest to others
Look at the sorrow
That has befallen your child
And hear how her laughter rings
Wake up, please,
Wake up from your ignorance
And give me your hand, put it in mine
So, we can extinguish
The fire of her temptation.
-11-
Give me your hand,
Give me... my brother
In your hand and mine,
The magic is hidden
Our two hands together Oh God
We are doomed,
A group that has lost its way
They lied to us with a thousand lies
And fed us poison from their own breasts
Their poison, religious fanaticism
And black flowers adorning their path
Hurry up so we can carry them together
And throw them into a sea without end
You and I, oh light of my eyes
We must fight this leadership fiercely
And unsheathe the sword of our rights
With my heart.
-12-
You and I...
The ones who save the future
From the injustice
That scattered us in this exile
And the burden of worry
Weighs heavily on our chests
And the fire consumes your heart and mine
You and I...
Our land is our capital
And our treasures are the grains of this soil
That cannot be bought,
My friend, with money
Nor gifted in a package or box
And not a day has passed that I was content
To have a false messiah buried
Within it... Nor has it ever welcomed His lie
Come on, let's achieve our hopes
And wipe away the veil of their cursed hatred
And cultivate and sow our land with love.
-13-
I know...
I'm writing in my poetry my end...
And my end is martyrdom
I'm stealing days from my life
And all the days of my life are glories
I don't care if they stab my chest
I don't care if My body has turned to ash
What matters to me...
Is that my grave will not be opened
Except in my homeland...
And it will be written above it:
Died to redeem a people and a country...
