English poems I wrote last year( 2007)
The waves
and its forever songs
they never get tired
they never
get
bored
I am a relative
a first cousin
to the waves
My songs go on
forever
never
ever
I feel tired
or for a while
get
bored!!!

The train
The train went north
Scotland, it is last stop
It was very cold
But I sat quiet still
Drinking coffee and tea
British are mad about tea
The old woman next to me
Sat very quiet
She put on her glasses
And pretended to read
I felt her loneliness
But I would not start a talk
The young mother sat in front of me
With her two little kids
She did not wear a wedding ring
The kids were having a cold
With runny noses, but no one
To wipe their noses
The mother looked sad
And I felt her loneliness
As well
The man sat in the other seat
Kept talking in his cell phone
He never smiled during his talk
Had he lost his job?
I wanted to jump off the train
And leave
That is not Britain I used to know
Or may be I did forgot
Edinburgh is my destination
How much I missed it
The castle is waiting for me
The river
The mountains
Queen Street with its lovely trees
Sure I will give the royal college a visit
And see all my old friends
The train went north
With lonely people
Who never exchanged a talk
And each turned his soul
With his back
To me
The train went north
I wish it would turn its back
And go back
South
In London
My loneliness will be lost
In the crowd!!!

A Norwegian song !!!
Your country
Oceans
Storms
Darkness
Mountains
Snow
Midnight sun
Waterfalls
Honesty
Naivety
Hard work
Stamina
Naivety
Agility
Secularism
Closed ness
Intolerance
Self-centered
Fishing vessels
Bridges
Tunnels
And that is your beautiful country my friend described by you!!!
Trapped in a universe that is not wide enough
The planets are narrow minded
The stars
Just silently stare
The sky is forever beautiful
No matter what
Trapped in a universe
Eager to go beyond
There, where is
The ultimate love
Beyond the universe
One day
I will meet Him,
The ultimate
Love
5 October
في أرجاء الكون وحدائقه
في بساتينه وحقوله الخضراء
في نجومه تبرق
عيونها
في كواكبه
لا تمل من سبع دورات
في أفلاك نجومها
في قلب اللؤلؤ وماس
في الغابات
كالجنين
يخلق
تجدني أحمل هموم الكون
في قلبي وأسير بها
أنزه الهموم
آخذها
في رحلة
عل الهموم تبتسم
للحظة
عل الهموم تترك القلب
للحظة
تضع قدميها على نجيل رطب
أخضر
وتجري سعيدة
لبرهة
ثم تعود لقلبي
هموما سعيدة
تضحك
There
In the vast gardens of the universe
In its green hills
And
Landscape
In planets never get tired
Going on and on
Around her mothers
In stars shining her eyes
Forever
There you will find me
Carrying in my hear
The world and its troubles
I will take the world in a journey
Showing him the tender beauty
There
In the faraway universe
May be the sadness will be tempted
To leave my heart
And take few steps
On the damp green grass
Of the universe
Then she may enjoy it
And come back
To my heart
A happy
Sadness

واحمل العالم في جيبك
احمله في قبضة يديك
احمله في قلبك
لا تدعه حرا طليقا
حتى يشفى
من جنونه
حتى يترك الخبل
أو الخبل يتركه
احمل العالم
ولا تيأس منه
مريض طال مرضه
ولكن لا يستعصى
على الله
شيء
5 أكتوبر
And carry the world
In your pocket
Keep him tightly
In your hand
Do not let go
Ever
He is mad
The world is utterly
Mad
But never give up
On someone sick
Chronically sick
Because Him the almighty
Is able
To cure the sick
And bring the dead
Alive
From their graves!!!
There
In the country roads
You will find me
Walking
With my shadow
The big big trees
Are my family
My family
Is so nice
Come and find me
In the country roads
Walking
Forever
With my shadow

Mr Humble
And
Miss arrogance
Mr Humble is a lodger
In my humble
House
Miss arrogance came
Nose up
Wanting:
Best room
In my house
I said: No
You have to change
Your name
If you ever will be
A lodger
In my house
Mr humble invited me
To his wedding
I went
And gave his veiled bride
My lovely
Flowers
Miss arrogance
Is now Mrs humble
And she resides
In
My house!!!
Sailing to the forest
My boat
Is a flower
The bees are
Humming
Honey
Is my food
The scent is
Leading
The sun rays
Peeping
Asking:
Who is coming?
The bees
Were humming
The honey
Was abundant
The forest ants
Are queuing
Waiting…
For the new comer!!!

The day Adam& Eve felt happy
The synagogue lit all candles
The church bells rang sweetly
The mosque minarets echoed
God is great
The village woke up
For a mass prayer
The song of praised
Filled the air
The moon smiled
The stars shone happily
Adam & Eve looked down
And blessed the village
They joined their children
Singing songs of praise

Never give up
I will never give up on this world
Crazy one day
Cool and nice for another
Then one day
It is mad for the day
But
I will never give up
On this world
Obama or McCain
It is people who matter
President of the day
Menu can change
Nations are what it counts
Great nations never change
Fair?
That is what it is all about
The moon,
the tide
the silence is talking
in the middle of the night
The hope
woke up
the earth got wet
dry has gone
It is drizzling hope
raise up your open hands
for a while
before the moon
turn off
its light !!!
