Beautiful Arabic/Middle Eastern (Perisan, Turkish) Poetry Collection – with English Translation Posted on   April 13, 2015 by   Mohammed Jehan Khan I am a great admirer of Arabic and Persian poems and the outstanding imagery in this poetry collection is enhanced by their (Poets’) poetic choice of heavenly metaphors blended with the rhythm flowing from their hearts. In other words I love it. When you’re flabbergasted by the sheer magnificence of a poem, this is what you’ll probably leave.

Abu al-Qasim al-Shabbi  The Poet of the Tunisia and Egyptian Revolution     At many of the protests in Tunisia, Egypt and elsewhere people have been chanting the verses of a Tunisian poet Abu al-Qasim al-Shabi . During the Tunisian anti-colonial uprising in the early 1900s his poem “The Will to Live” became famous and it is now being repeated. إذَا الشَّعْبُ يَوْماًً أرَادَ الْحَيَـــــــاةَ فَلَا بُــدَّ أن يَسْتَجِيبَ القَــــدَر وَلاَ بُدَّ لِلــــيْلِ أن يَنْجَلِــــــــــي وَلاَ بُـــدَّ للقَيْـــِد أن يَنْكَسِــــر وَمَنْ لَمْ يُعَانِــقْهُ شَوْقُ الْحَيَــاةِ تَبَـــخَّرَ في جـَـوَّهَـا وَانْدَثـَـــر If the people will to live Providence is destined to favorably respond And night is destined to fold And the chains are certain to be broken And he who has not embraced the love of life Will evaporate in its atmosphere and disappear This translation was done by As’ad Abu Khalil.
