Samih al-Qasim' poems

 







                                              منتصبَ القامةِ أمشي

 

 

منتصبَ القامةِ أمشي

مرفوع الهامة أمشي

في كفي قصفة زيتونٍ

وعلى كتفي نعشي

وأنا أمشي وأنا أمشي....


قلبي قمرٌ أحمر

قلبي بستان

فيه العوسج

فيه الريحان

شفتاي سماءٌ تمطر

نارًا حينًا حبًا أحيان....

في كفي قصفة زيتونٍ

وعلى كتفي نعشي

وأنا أمشي وأنا أمشي....

It is as if archways of mist drank the clouds And drop by drop dissolved in the rain … As if children snickered in the vineyard bowers, The song of the rain rippled th...

If we were If we were If we were, Ah how cruel is it to say 'If' My sweet, if we start our conversation with a wish But we... Ah, how cruel to say 'but' The tangled twisted letters betray That we deny what the days have left in our souls We wish to throw the memory off We wish to forget We wish to bring it back to the womb of life But my sweet, I am benumbed Cast away on the way side of the world A world sweltering in delirium and garbage A world which is void of beauty A world that gave me nothing but darkness and melancholy When I fell upon its surf...
