“Egypt is my poetry”

Longing has led me to you, the entirety of my world,

A stream of words in your love is scarce…

The critics blame me for you,

Ignore their blame, oh date of the palm tree.

They don’t know who you are,

Who I am, and what the evidence is…

I was not a fanatic,

But in your love, I lean…

I fell in love with you, our mother,

As air, sea, and Nile.

You are the homeland of civilization,

Can anyone else fall in love as a substitute for you..?

A cloud of love rains,

Sweet melodies of hymns.

I’m resolute, and Egypt is my poetry,

And I am the love of Qais the martyr.

You are the temple of love,

And poetry is in my long night.

I am Yemeni,

My root is here..

And my branches are in Upper Egypt, Sohag, and Qena.

The origin is one,

And the wound is one, our bloodshed drips with our lineage.
