Next Wednesday marks the last Wednesday of Women's History Month, concluding the series of poems with a final surprise regarding a revolutionary who made history for an Arabic-speaking country and received poems and awards alike. Following that, I have several poems lined up, requested by fellow readers (such as Badr Shakir al-Sayyab and Kahlil Gibran), whom I am excited to share. Any requests for poems or poets are welcome down here and will be looked forward to!
Beautiful page and poem. The translation allowed me to understand AND read it in Arabic. The song got me closer to the text. I'm not a poem person - u might have triggered something 🙏
Awesome! Thank you so much for translating this poem. I've wanted to read more of Al-Malaika's work. You've just made that possible for me. I always look forward to your posts!

this is a poem that leaves me silent. Or how poetry can outline in few words a situation that you can sense in its essence.
thank you for sharing this poem and your review
My pleasure Maryan!

I'm so glad to hear this! I believe we're all poem people at heart, sometimes we just need that little push.
I didn't want to cry today!
I shed a few tears too writing this. A sad reality but a reality of many nonetheless.

This made my day!
Moving!
