I was between me and me, absent from me
Away from the femininity and masculinity
Away from friends and family
Away from status and luxury
Away from the heavy burden of mud salty body
Away from the glitter of this world and its’ boundary
which blinded insights and subdued hearts
Away from what I know and what is concealed
To Allah (The All-Glorified, the All-High) I plead
Prophet Mohammad (puh) leads me in the streets
From the sweet water source of knowledge,
my hope, my thirst and my hunger I feed
Thinking of behaviors, sects and heresies
That I ought to heed
For my sinful soul, forgiveness I seek
Determine my self first I must lead
For six years this tongue has been harping on “One” string,
expressing “One” need
Striving in the causes that increase good deed
Suffering form the difficulties of the practical execution,
which are subject for faults and critique.
My companions, my stars, my birds of the sea
Your love is the sparkles in my eyes
You’re the reason I raise my voice and speak
When I rather live unknown, like a stranger
away from any worldly gain and peak
With this humble self, that is strong and weak
I never intended to hurt you and make you feel cheap
when the aim to awake ourselves from the prolonged sleep
We are his servant, with a mutual love in him that is deep
How can humanity succeed!
With a Pride and arrogance that exceed
We are all going away, sooner
We are all going away, sooner or later. I found comfort and pleasure in reading your poems (not only this). And no, you are not just a typical Saudi woman. You are a well educated mind. Life needs pretty minds.
I’m now back to hypo-land. Striving to be understood. So far, all my words received no response here. The echo, I hear it like a whisper coming from far away. Imagine that you throw a stone in a pool in Riyadh but you see no effect! Later, you hear about circular waves occurring in the Atlantic or pacific oceans. Anyways:
