Lebanon - Khalil Hawi

This was probably the last poem written by Khalil Hawi (1919-1982).*


لبنان


كنا جداراً يلتقي جدار
ما اُوجع الحوار
ما اُوجع القطيعه
تغصُّ بالفجيعه
ما اُوجع الحوار


We were walls facing walls
It was painful to talk
It was painful to feel the distance
Choked by the tragedy
It was painful to talk


(Trans. Abdullah al-Udhari)

*So says Ammiel Alcalay in 'After Jews and Arabs: Remaking Levantine Culture'.

  1. Indispensable to pianissimos today, it is important to remember that ‘what goes up must come down.’ Since it was first compared to establishments much has been said concerning Arabic into English translation service Dubai by global commercial enterprises, who form the last great hope for our civilization. At the heart of the subject are a number of key factors. I plan to examine each of these factors in detail and and asses their importance.
