2010 |
Beautiful heartfelt poem ... cry of a weeping
heart ... know that pain is shared ... here is my translation of it as a
tribute to you: Abdul Mutaal
- Let’s say welcome to year 2010
- Let’s feel the new buds opening
- On its forehead, in our hearts
- Let’s draw its freshness
- Into the depths of our souls
- Let’s wrap its very new arms around us
- And enjoy the quaintness of newness
- The miraculous joy of novelty.
- Let’s ask all those pleasures
- From the New Year.
-
- Yet, those spilled blood of the past
year
- Those fires of destruction lit
everywhere
- Those widowed faces, those new-born
orphans
- Those paradises lost, those dreams
unfulfilled
- Hold up! yes, hold up the joy of coming
year
- On the birth of this New Year
- Its joyous crying
- Is turning to a mourning of the gone-by
year.
-
- And yet, my heart is chanting
- In the ears of the new sun
- A prayer of peace and love.
