First whisper: This message carries love to all nations.
I am an Arab
I have a name without a title
My roots were entrenched before the birth of time
And before the opening of the eras
Before the pines, and the olive trees
And before the grass grew



I come from there and I have memories
I have brothers and friends
Mine is the wave, snatched by seagulls
I have my own view
Mine is the moon at the far edge of the words



A wordless song .. a song that lives
In the seed of my heart
In a transparent cloak and flows
But not upon my lips



When I look into my inner eyes
I see the shadow of its shadow
When I touch my fingertips
I feel its vibrations



It is a song composed by contemplation,
And published by silence,
And shunned by clamour,
And folded by truth,
And repeated by dreams,
And understood by love,
And hidden by awakening,
And sung by the soul.




It is the song of love;
What Cain or Esau could sing it?
It is more fragrant than jasmine;
What voice could enslave it?
It is heart bound, as a virgin's secret;
What string could quiver it?
The deeds of my hands heed its
Presence as a lake must reflect
The glittering stars; my tears
Reveal it, as bright drops of dew
Reveal the secret of a withering rose


Naked I stand in the chilling wind
and I do not bow
I mutiny against all the idols
I emerge from one raging fire and enter another one
and I do not bow
I have willed that my heart be planted as a tree,
That my forehead become an abode for skylarks



My Homeland ..
* The greatest faith!
* The brightest dream!
* The most beautiful smile!
* Along generations!
* One heart accross miles!
* That carries love everywhere!
