"وما ان يسدل الليل ستاره، ترتعد.. لا تعاقر الخمر لأنك تخاف لأنك تعام أن حرقة الكحول تدفعك إلى هاوية الضعف من مقاومة حاجتك المت الى الشعور يالاكتفاء والى الطمأنينة مقابل الريبة التي تووض في الظلام" — Mar 03, 2023 04:40AM

“كلّ اولئك اللذين رحلتُ عنهم،
كلّ اولئك اللذين غادرتهم،
كلّ اولئك اللذين القيت بهم في الغياب،
كلّ اولئك اللذين كانوا اصدقائي في حياة اخرى
فقط لا تعودوا !
لا تحفروا قبور الذاكرة وتخبروني انكم تشتاقون لتفاصيلي...
الأصدقاء داء يا أصدقائي!”

“Put it on record
--I am an Arab
And the number of my card is fifty thousand
I have eight children
And the ninth is due after summer.
What's there to be angry about?
Put it on record.
--I am an Arab
Working with comrades of toil in a quarry.
I have eight childern
For them I wrest the loaf of bread,
The clothes and exercise books
From the rocks
And beg for no alms at your doors,
--Lower not myself at your doorstep.
--What's there to be angry about?
Put it on record.
--I am an Arab.
I am a name without a tide,
Patient in a country where everything
Lives in a whirlpool of anger.
--My roots
--Took hold before the birth of time
--Before the burgeoning of the ages,
--Before cypess and olive trees,
--Before the proliferation of weeds.
My father is from the family of the plough
--Not from highborn nobles.
And my grandfather was a peasant
--Without line or genealogy.
My house is a watchman's hut
--Made of sticks and reeds.
Does my status satisfy you?
--I am a name without a surname.
Put it on Record.
--I am an Arab.
Color of hair: jet black.
Color of eyes: brown.
My distinguishing features:
--On my head the 'iqal cords over a keffiyeh
--Scratching him who touches it.
My address:
--I'm from a village, remote, forgotten,
--Its streets without name
--And all its men in the fields and quarry.
--What's there to be angry about?
Put it on record.
--I am an Arab.
You stole my forefathers' vineyards
--And land I used to till,
--I and all my childern,
--And you left us and all my grandchildren
--Nothing but these rocks.
--Will your government be taking them too
--As is being said?
So!
--Put it on record at the top of page one:
--I don't hate people,
--I trespass on no one's property.
And yet, if I were to become starved
--I shall eat the flesh of my usurper.
--Beware, beware of my starvation.
--And of my anger!”
