Original text | |
عالسفح أعلى من البحر عالسفح أعلى من السرو ناموا .. خافوا وطار الحمام راحوا وما رشَوا عورق المي ريحان أساميهم راحوا وما زرعوا برمل السما وردة لعتمتهم ناموا أعلى من البحر أعلى من السرو عسفح الكون ... وطار الحمام يا نايمين عآخر الأرض فينا، سلام الله عليكم عيسى بولص، عن قصيدة لـ محمود درويش | |
English Translation | |
On the mountainside, higher than the Mediterranean; on the mountainside higher than cypress trees, they slept in fear and the dove flew away. They left without sprinkling the basil-smell of their names on waterleafs. They left without planting roses in the sky, lighting their departure into their inner darkness. They slept, higher than the Mediterranean, higher than cypress trees, and on the edge of the universe the dove flew away. To you, sleeping inside the last land remaining within you, may peace be with you!
