Tears for Bahiyah
Abdel Latif Moubarak (Egyptian poet)
The last tear for Bahiyah
witnesses the verses of your image,
the song of your voice,
the scent of your striking perfume,
the color of your red dress,
your braids,
the balm of your cheeks,
your eyes, the laughter of marble,
the pearls of your shining chest,
the lofty building,
the palm fronds on the bank,
on the promised river,
tales of love and the story.
I am yours,
like a knight who carries you,
And flies to you above the winds.
With his burning passion,
a child crucified on his shoulders,
the mill of your rising life.
The witnesses of your exhausted era,
your songs.
What can I give you,
other than that I promise you,
with the passing star,
ships of love in the water,
the journey of Isis on your dust?
Who struck you down with the murder of Yassin?
And the last tear for Bahiyah.
-
* Bahiyah is a symbol of Egypt in Egyptian heritage.
