The Roofs of Houses 

Poem by Abdel latif Moubarak..... Egyptian poet 

It peeks from the window of our hearts,

And steps onto the paths that have drunk

From its spring, the tales.

Upon a thousand civilians who implore,

And thousands of throats whose echo

Is the roofs of houses.

Their lament still embraces them,

And gathers them,

A million prayers,

Except what it couldn't contain.

And you, who are ascetic within your prison, waiting

For a glimpse of light,

Just to caress your forehead.

Your umbilical cord between you

And the homeland,

Knows you overcome your tears

And split your chest for the cities,

So that life may enter them,

Free from the gloomy darkness clinging

To every wall that the specter of silence

Has demolished.

These are thousands of throats whose echo

Is the roofs of houses.
