Gaza in fire

I’m Gaza in fire—————-you are Mecca in grief

I’m the end of the world——you are the end of the stories

  .

I’m Gaza، bloody heart——you are Mecca, clipped wings

The steel headed devil–rest a moment

.

Then, the tongues sealed—Then, the eyes cloudy
Then, the ears are deaf—-Then, the Man is fallen

.
Silent as my secrets——This harmless city of me
Passes by the history—-Rostam maybe will appar

.
My lonely city—- faintly drinks the bowl of madness
A limitless sea in his ocean eyes is a droplet

.
My city tears off his collar——– arrogance has opened s bridge to my heart
I’ve become adventurer—– I’ve got remedy from hatred


My hand just like an angry mad——– draws the sward of the pen
My poem has become a bully——it s on fire from head to toe
