Zaydi _surgical_ a blaze in me, and ignite

If there was shyness in you before, I did not find it

Zaydi arrogance and confusion today gloating

For I came to you defeated, to be criticized

How much I have given to the days, I consider them

A day that will take my hand in its joys

I no longer care for the pains that save me

Or violate my body with the fever of its hatred

If the doctor is my enemy, it does not concern me

Whether he stitches the wound or takes revenge from my liver

What is the value of the rose if it is planted in a cemetery

What is the value of the kohl if it is placed on the ashes

For the soul in me, far from family, is dead

And the heart from the agony of separation is in sorrow

Ziad Al-Shamlan Al-Mousa
