For My Fellow Arabian Members And The Arabic Learners

We Often forget ourselves and we dissolve in the daily life, sometimes we stop feeling and we turn to be numb and neutral about everything because it's easier this way. Around 4 years ago I heard this Arabic poem for the first time and it made me feel something, I felt weird back then because I don't appreciate poetry that much, but if you listen to it, you would realise that it's not about the poem, It's more about the feelings that those words awaken in you...I think Arabic members already know it, but still it would be good to be reminded again of what this poem is trying to tell us all, and Arabic learners would find it really useful because it's with Arabic subtitles, so they get to read the poem and understand it better...

و حين كبرت لم احصل على تأشيرة للبحر

و أوقفني سجاني على الباب

فلا بيروت ولا عمان و لاصنعاء و لا بغداد

عشنا كذبة طارت لها القلوب شوقا

فماذا جنينا؟

غيرالحقد و اللؤم و الخوف والخسران 

تقاتلنا احلامنا و ما لنا غير الاحلام

أوقفني سجاني قبل أن أبحرو قبل ان أعبر

ماذا تريد؟ قلت أريد الشاطئ أريد البحر

قال أنها صحراء بلا رمال

قفلت راجعا الوي و العن

عدت راجعا اقلب اوراقي

و مضت لحظة في عيني

أننا نحن من نعوي

عمري ألف و لا أعلم

هل حقا انني لا اعلم؟

تذكرت أجدادي فما لهم غير سنة و قرأن

هنا البداية و بدأت أقلب قراني

Nor Lebanon Refracted treating its wound alone.
We will gather our Arabian gulf's pearls, and cultivate them in the Sudan.
Its seed will yield wheat in Arabian Morocco.
People will press its oil in proud Palestine.
Our Relatives drink it in Somalia for ever.
Will come out of mantle with God blessings.
For public burning.
He is the public, not you.
He is the rulers, not you.
Do you hear me Hordes (Oppressor tools)?.
Do you hear me the bureaus of bastion of your government.
He (Public) is the Rulers not you, I'm not afraid of anyone of you.
He is Islam not you, so stop your commerce (Hypocrisy),
Or else, he will become an apostate.
And feared the people that this roustabout.
And the camel that propagated.
You will not get its milk, nor get its calf.
I'm staying, and my legitimacy in the air remains.
We were fed injustice by bundles.
We were fed ignorance by prayers.
Fed up with watering and sommelier. (The whole pathetic game).
I warn you.
We will stay despite your sedition!
This nation is connected.
Your bondage are weakened.
But God's bondage is steadfast.
I'll grow up leaving the child,
My colors and my brush.
And he will remain painting the Arab
Svelte graceful.
It remains sound of my rimes..
Arab countries are my country - And all the Arabs are my brothers.

And ideas we learned our principles on your hands, O the rulers of our nation.
We tormented our Childhood.
And ideas we learned their principles on your hands, O the rulers of our nation.
Aren't you the ones, we were brought up in your schools?.
We learned your curriculums.
We learned on your hands that the sly fox is waiting to eat the naive sheep if he remained in his deep slumber.
Didn't you teach that straws are protected by its bundle and weak when is singular.
Why the foolish division rules us.
Aren't you the ones who we learned on your hand Steadfast to faith in God and Unite?.
Why do you obscure the sunlight with your flags?.
You divided our Identity between yourselves as an income we have become like beasts.
The child will remain in my chest antagonizing you.
We got divide on your hands Strayed and lost.
I am an Arab not ashamed.
I was born in green Tunisia of Omani origin.
And I am more than a "thousand and my mother still pregnant.
I am an Arab in Baghdad I have a palm tree.
And in Sudan arteries.
I'm an Egyptian of Mauritania, Djibouti and Oman.
Christian, Sunni, Shiite and Kurd, and Druze and Alawites.
I do not save the names and as the rulers leave.
We got dispersed on your hands.
And all the people are pigmented.
We are tired of dispersing and all the people are pigmented.
You filled our thoughts with lies, forgery and falsehood.
Do God's hand unite us and FIFA's hand divide us.
Deliberately forsaken our religion.
So we came back Aws and Khazraj (Old Arab Tribes).
Our ignorance looms within us.
And we await stupidity for a way out.
Whatever rulers of our nation the child remain in my chest antagonizing you,
Judge you.
And will declare our Arab nation united.
Sudan is not divided.
Not Golan occupied.

@Olivier: Your life is about the choices you make because you're the only one who will have to deal with the consequences of your choices. We don't have to be similiar in our beliefs to respect each other, I respect you for your humanity, it's the most important. I see the light in others, not because we share the same belief, race or colour, it's because of what they do or say that serves humanity and nothing else. So I understand you and agree with your point of view:)
