بدء النهار بالشعر والفنون يجعل الحياة أكثر قابليةً للاحتمال
Starting the day with poetry and art makes life bearable
It's not as other nights
The night speaks to the water
whereas the sky hides the poems in its heart.
Springs are competing
Trees in the horizon are sheltered by the darkness
and intrigues.


The Longing of Homelands for Their People
We think we are at peace,
our feet rooted in our lands,
and our heads lifted high, inhaling the open air.
We think our dreams are enough to stretch across the horizon,
until, when we enter the cities,
our souls are seized by fear
for they lose themselves in the narrow streets,
not knowing through which gate they might escape.
