* مُنعتُ الحجَّ أنكالا * برفضي رشوةٌ فُرضتْ * فقلبي اليومَ محزونُ
My heart today is sad. Having refused to pay an imposed bribe, I am denied the ritual trip of My Hajj.
رئيسُ الحزب قد نالا * من الحجـاج رشوتهم * وهـل للمرتشي دِينُ
The Party Head has enriched himself from the bribes of pilgrims! What kind of faith a man ‘on the take’ may have!
رسول اللهِ قد قــــالا ** لراشٍ أو لمرتشِيٍ ** عقابُ الله مضمــونُ
The Messenger of God had affirmed: to pay or take a bribe is surely to receive the punishment of God.
بـلادي ظلمُها طالا * وطـول الظلم من كتلٍ * طغتْ ‘واستُفردت حيـنُ
My country has lived long under oppression, the perpetuity of which is owed to tyrannical blocs that for quite a while have been well famed for cruelty.
إذا ما قلتــمُ غـالى * تعالوا وانظروا بلدي* * وفيه الشعبُ مسجونُ
Should you say “he exaggerates”, come down and see my home-land where the people are incarcerated
لئنْ نظّمتُ أقـوالا * وضد المعتدي قـولي * ففي الإرهـابِ مرقونُ
If I compose my poems, my stance is always against oppressors,yet a terrorist they would enlist me
وإنْ حقّـّــرتُ تمثـالا * ولم أعبد لهم صَنمــا * لقالوا؛ الشيخُ مجنونُ
Yet when I scorn a ‘statue’ or desecrate an idol of theirs, they soon declare: “The old Man is insane”.
كــذا الإنسانُ ما زالا * يقتّـلُ كـل معترضٍ * بنار الحقـدِ مشحونُ
Such still is the nature of the Tyrant, ever driven by the burning fire of hatred to murder non-partisans.
طغى المحتلُّ محتالا * فيمشي في جنازتنا * وفي يـــده السكاكينُ
The occupying invader cunningly walks in our funeral, while in his hand he holds his knives
فعمّ ٌيقتلُ الخالا * وذا يغتالُ والَـدهُ * كأنّ الكـلّ فـرعـونُ
So one kills the uncle while another assassinates his father, as if all have become Pharaohs
فمَن يرثـي لنا حالا * تُخذنا في الملى هـزَءًا * كأنْ علياءنا دونُ
Who would eulogize our state of affairs; we have become the mockery of all and our high glory has descended to the ground.
بنينا العـزّ أجيالا * وإنّ العــز من أزلٍ * بسيف العُـرْب مقـرونُ
For generations we have cultivated Power; and power, since eternity, has ever dovetailed with the Arab sword.
وهم يكسون سربالا * من الأخلاق زيّنهُ * اذا استنجدتهم – عونُ
A vestment of good manners is the robe of the Arab, adorned by ready help when help is of an Arab asked.
سُقينا الحبّ أطفالا * وفي أثـداء مـُرضعتي * كأن الجودَ مخزونُ
Love was our water as children, and of a plentiful generosity I fed at the breasts of my nursing mother
نهـدُّ الأرض زلزالا * إذا انتُهكتْ حَرائرُنـا * ولا تغفـو لنا عَيـنُ
Like earthquakes, we shake the grounds *If our women were violated* nor will our eye-lids give in to somnolence.
حَوتْ طُـُبْيًا ومرقالا * بيوتُ الشَعرما نُصبتْ * وضرعُ الشاةِ مدهونُ
Tents, whenever erected, always offer instantly and readily abundant milk of she-camels and of sheep,
فلم نرضعْـهُ إتفالا * حليبا غير ذي عُلبٍ * به الإخلاصُ معجونُ
Nor have we suckled on it in dribbles, but a free-flowing milk in which good will is the essence.
وكان الجود إنْ جالا * جوادًا قد دعى الجفلى * وفي يده المواعـينُ
A man of generosity, whose puplic invitations to food excludes
no one, Appears with ready hands serving bowls richly filled
على كُـوعيهِ قد سالا * إدام ُاللحم من مرقٍ * وفي كلماته لِيْـنُ
His elbows betray the meat porridge he serves to guests and his tongue has only inviting friendly welcoming phrases.
إذا أنويْتَ ترحالا * بلادُ العُرب قاطبة ً * تــُدارُ بها الفناجيـنُ
you will be well greeted all over Arab countries where hospitality is first handed out through cups of the Arabian coffee
قـِـراهم كانَ مازالا * من الأخلاق مـدرسةً * ويأمرُنا به الدِينُ
Such hospitality is still, as it had been, a school of compassionate empathy and is, by our faith, demanded of us all.
وأصفى طيبـُهم بـالا * فقد ناموا بلا أرقٍ *وما في الصدرِ مكنونُ
Those who enjoy the purest kindness are those who, among all, sleep free of any concerns or deeply chest-buried secrets.
ألا سعـديكَ يا خالا * ستُجزى خلدَ جنّاتٍ * عليها الخُنّـَسُ العِيـنُ
Be happy uncle!Your reward will be the heavenly paradise where the promised beautiful, loyal, and wide-eyed females awaitthe true believers.
إذا أقبلنَ إقبـالا * فهُـنّ الـدرُّ في صدفٍ * وهُنّ البَيضُ مكنونُ
If they come forward, they are the pearls in their shell; they are the preserved and life recreating eggs
