"كرم ربِّ العالمين"

يا صاحب الأرض ومُعجزة النور

لضوئك القلب يخضع بالإيمان ويثور

يُبشِّر بالنِّعَم والكمال ورائحة الزهور

وأغلى العطور ممزوجة برائحة البخور

آتية من بين الجبال الشاهقة والصخور

تصل بعمقها المنير إلى أعماق البحور

تُنعش القلب وتُدهش النفس وكأنها سحور

لوحدك يا رب الخشوع حبك يُفرح الصدور 

لعبادتك القلب أعلن القبول يا مُتمِّم الأمور

يا خالق الكواكب السماء والضياء يا طهور

تتألَّق بنورك الطاهر وأنت تُفاخر بالظهور

أنت الناصر والجالب لكل نفس السرور

فخر السماء وجهك الصافي المنير الوقور

حقٌّ لك أن تكون يا خالق الكون فخورْ

استطاع شُعاعك الأزلي لكلِّ نفسٍ العبور

 أنت نعمة لكل البشر والقلب لك دائما شكور

"وطنٌ جريحٌ يعِد بالبقاء"

أمام أعيُننا ضاعت أمانينا

واخترق الهم جدار الوطن المقدس الأمينا

وأرسل علينا ضلالَ إعصار وطوفاناً لعينا

فجعل ما في نفوسنا دمع أسى وشُجونا

وما لبث أن لوَّن وجوهنا لوناً حزينا

وبدا الزمان وكأنه يُعزِّينا على ما هو آتينا 

ضاع الوطن الجريح وأصبح القلب أليما

لقد خسرنا الحلم الكبير وسقطت المدينة

فمَن يبعث روح الثورة فينا كي يُحيينا؛

لكي نسترجع الحق ونُفاخِر بعمل أيادينا؟

تُرِكت الأرض للشيطان منها بفخرٍ يُنادينا

تعالوا إليَّ كي تستمتعوا بالظلم أيها المجانينا

مبارك عليكم عيدي، احتفلوا معي ظلماً وطغيانا

ولسوف أجعل معالم حياتكم أسى ونيرانا

 تحت رحمتي تعيشون وتتنفَّسون ولستم إلا جثمانا

من اليوم لم يعُد عليكم غيري حاكماً وسُلطانا 

هذا عصري الذهبي ولن أرضى منكم عصيانا

فتمتَّعوا بي وبظلمي لكم شيوخاً وشُبَّانا

إنه زمن الألم يبرعم فيه كل باطلٍ خزيانا

فأجابت الحرية الحمراء سأُحافظ على الأمانة

ويوماً لن تستطيع أن تأخُذ قلوبنا رهائنا 

ولن نخضع تحت بطشك ولن نتبع الشيطانا

 سأُحاربك على أرضي الطيبة في كل مكانا

فأنا على العهد ماضية كي أحفظ منك سمانا

وأرجع الكرامة للناس وتكون عبرة للأذهانا

وسأعمل خفيةً وكل شيءٍ سيكون سرَاً وكتمانا

لأن التمسُّك بالحق يتطلَّب الصدق والإيمانا

ولن نقبل بطغيانك وسنحاربك في كل مكانا

سنُجاهد ليلاً ونهاراً وحربنا ستكون إعلانا

حتى نستعيد الوطن لن نُغمِض أبداً الأجفانا

لأننا لن نرضى بهذا الخِزي ولن نقبل الزمانا

سننتظر القمح وهو ينمو ويملأ البستانا

سننتصر عليك ويعود إلينا زهر نيسانا

سيعود السهر وسنُنشِد طرباً وسلاما 

وتعود الطيور من هجرنا كي تنشُر الأمانا

ونستعيد الكرامة ونرجع الفرحة لكل إنسانا

وتنزل دموع الفرح على قصيدتي مرجانا

حتى تبدأ الموسيقى تلعب وتعزف أجمل الألحانا

وتصبح الشمس بشعاعها الذهبي أكثر لمعانا

والوطن يُفاخِر بأنه أجمل من شقائق النعمانا 

"كفاك ظلماً أيها القدر"

 قال لي القدر: عن حبيبتك ابتعد

قلت: هذا لن يحدث، بذلك أنا أعِد.

كيف أترك حُبِّي وهي يوم السعد؟

بها السماء احتفلت؛ اسمع صوت الرعد

أتى معها الشتاء وهي للأرض الوعد.

قال: ستخسر سُلطانك يا أيها الأسد

كثرت حولك عُيون الناس والحسد

لقد حذَّرتك اليوم هو الميعاد

سوف تنسى جمال الجسد والفؤاد 

استغنِ عن حُبِّك والبس السواد

اليوم سيُكتَب على حبك الحداد

وتختفي المُعجزة وينتهي الوداد

وسيبكي على حُبِّك حتى الجماد

ستأتيك كوابيس وليالي السهاد

سيضيع منك ومن خيالك الرشاد

وبين يوم وآخر حزنك سيزداد.

قلت: مهما فعلت بي أيها القدر

فأنا لن أترُكه وحده ذلك الفؤاد 

قوة حُبِّي ستكون سلاحي والعتاد

وبقوة زندي سأقضي على الحُسَّاد

وسأحتفل بعشقي في كل البلاد

كل سنة سأحتفل معها بعيد الميلاد

 وسأدعوك كي تكون موجوداً يا قدر

وأنت ترى بعينك كَم من الناس حضر

سأُعلِّمك كيف أُوقِف عن الروح الفساد

وكيف أُعيد للحب طعم الأمل والرشاد

ستُغنِّي لنا الصحراء وسترقُص الجياد

وسيكثُر المُحبِّون للعشق والعدد سيزداد

وقطار الحياة معها وحدها لسوف أقود

وأحتفل بحُبِّنا وعندها فرحتنا سوف تعود

وتُبشِّر ببقائها والخلود حتى آخر العهود.

"The Earth Shaken" 

The earth is trembling and shaking.

Demolishing homes is quite a burden,    

Reminding man that it's time to awaken.

Calamity unfolds its jaws and invites misery. 

The surrounding is nothing short of painful, 

and the spiral of tragedy.

A gloomy monster quake shakes every rock,      

Creating fear in the souls, leaving men 

wondering in shock.

People are alive, weeping, and lying next to the dead. 

A horrible act that is alarming, creating a feeling 

full of dread.

The rescue mission tries to detect any movement,    

Any sound of a man found buried under the rubble.

There was always a plan.

While people disbelieve what is happening, 

Do their minds dwell on what is going on? 

Who gave earth this command?

Aftershock rumbled beneath everyone's feet.

Helplessly, everyone there accepted the

sign of defeat.

It is a humanitarian crisis: destruction and fear.

Inflicting defeat, casualty, death, and

plenty of tears.

Man struck with the most incredible intensity.

Aware of devastation, desperation, and

misery.

All connected hands to pray,    

Crying, sobbing in overwhelming despair.

People were suffering from pain surrounding everywhere.

A catastrophe is devastating. The man said, "This is bizarre."

The scars are so deep, and the loss of humans–    

It has gone very far.

While David's Star helplessly watches from far away,

Unable to remedy any of

the human scars–

A bleeding Cross sobbing, lying across,

Counting the dead between the rubble,

counting the loss.

And the Crescent is sad and so depressant,    

Dealing with full-scale destruction 

with a fearful noise beating incessantly.

All witnessing man's struggle and resistance

While clinging to life as a man still fond

of his persistence.

Watching and demanding to be able to protect

our world by saving humanity to preserve human existence.

But the men felt a lack of control, so they directed

their eyes to the Lord and prayed to Him while 

candles in their hands, they held.

Asked, "Is this our accord for breaking our alliance?

Did we deserve this misery for our reckless behavior? 

And defiance?

Oh, our Lord! What happens, and what is the matter? 

With our faith, we will remain strong, and no other than

Your Majesty is our self-reliance. ”

"Shield and Never Yield"

Sustain your dominion and

power; do not yield.

Life is rough and rocky; keep

holding to your shield.

Confide with your soul; let

your passion at once revealed.

Be as if all previous

wounds have healed.

Do not show the enemy any

Weakness; hold on to your

pains.

Give the full power to your

mind to untie it from the

chains.

Unlock your soul's power to

become liberated by setting

it free.

Keep your patience in a

the battle; to men winning, it is

key.

Face obstacles and

problems acting strong.

In our life, when everything is

well-planned, nothing should

go wrong.

Hold on tight to your shield;

keep your fierce fighting on

the battlefield.

Your drive needs not to be concealed

Fight with all you might;

You are everyone’s long-awaited

victorious knight.

Keep your soul gliding in a

state of excitement by

keeping your might

To celebrate your march to

victory as your soul becomes    

liberated and free.

Victory and courage, your eyes and

heart now can see

You achieved your goals and

now is the time for nonstop harvest celebrations.

Raise your head high.

You are leaving a glorious legacy for

all generations.

"My Sweet Belle"       -1-                     

My beautiful, sweet, charming, and gorgeous belle,

you must enchant the world, and everyone tells.

Nothing less than heaven, for you, is a place to dwell.

I am very grateful for your lovely heart; forever, I fell.

Your big smile came swiftly to every vein of my heart. 

You brought happiness and joy to my soul from the start.

Indeed, light the skies with your memorable, beautiful smiles.

Spark love everywhere– spread it in the air for miles and miles.

You are what brings the charming perfect flowers to spring.

Your sweet, tender essence, with love and joy, always clings.

You are a wildflower, a new spring in its fields discovered.    

I allowed your unsurpassed beauty, my emotions, to uncover.

You brighten love with your vivid images; you are divine.

Announce it to the entire world; your soul is forever mine.

Your charm is like the cosmos; it belongs to realms of space.

So let my inner soul caress and your tenderness embrace.

You have an imagistic face that taught me love and grace:    

A passion for many years, I imagined, painted, and traced.

So long, my dear, say goodbye to all your desperate fears.

Cleanse your emotions from pain; let me wipe all your tears.

Liberate your soul from the sadness that lasted for years. 

Regain your wings; start the celebration with loving cheers.

Allow me to hold you passionately with my arms.    

Let me caress your beauty and enjoy your great charm.

You are a gorgeous rose with endless, adoring esteem.

Let me live your glory. Let me cherish your forever theme.

Yes, I have for you some fascination and big plans,    

And wish to give you my heart to hold in your hands.

So, allow me to dream. But I have one specific demand.

Please keep my love beating in your gorgeous heartlands.

حكم وكلام لأخر الزمان

"حب عشق وغرام"

خواطر ١-٥

عاشق السهر يعرف جيداً قراءة القمر

من حصل على الحب كما تمنَّى

في حياته تهنَّى وفي كرمها تغنى

كل علاقة بدأت بالخناق

لن تنتهي بالمحبة والعناق

المرأة الصالحة هي زينة الأنظار ، والمُحافظة على الدار والأسرار، والمُؤتمنة على النفس والمال

الحب من دون كرامة

يوماً لن تقوم له قائمة

خواطر ٦-١٠

اجمل ما في الوجود

أن تأتمن قلبك على ابنة الجود

النساءُ والبكاء ، ذكاءٌ ودهاء

أعطتني اجمل لحظات المتاع

وأخذته معها وقت حان الوداع

عندما يزورك الحب ، لا تكُن عنه مشغولْ

وإلا غادرك وقال لك أنت وحدك المسؤولْ

كل حب وصف بأنه مجنون

جاء من قلب دافيء وحنون

حكم وكلام لأخر الزمان

"سياسة"

خواطر ١-٥

الوطن كل مواطن يحب العيش في نعيمه

من المؤسف أن نرى أحداً وقع في جحيمه

عندما المجتمع طاش

رضي بحاكم ظالم بطَّاش

الاستعمار الفكري

قنبلة موقوتة فعلها جزري

‏عدم استعداد الأمم الكافي في التصدي للأزمات يأتي بفشل يعرض الوطن لكثير من المآسي واللكمات

قد يُغيَّب عن الدنيا قائداً رائداً عظيم ،

لكن عادةً ما يترك وراءه فكراً رائعاً وتخطيطاً وتنظيم

خواطر ٦-١٠

عندما تأخذ القرارات السياسية الطريق الضال

تأخذ معها النضج والحكمة والتعقُّل إلى الانحدار

يكبر احساس الأمة بالربيع ، وبوجهه البديع عندما تستقبل كل اشراقة يوم كأنه عيد جديد

‏دراسة التاريخ والتحضير للمستقبل ،

يعطي النضوج الفكري للأمة تألُّقه الأكبر

من سيطر على المال العام ، حرَّك الأنظمة على الأرض ، وجعل تحكمه وجبروته على الناس فرص

لا نهضة لأمة من غيبوبة إلا عند إعترافها بالعيوب لتكون حاضرة وعنها ليست غيوب

حكم وكلام لأخر الزمان

"أقوال عصف ذهني – فلسفة وروحانيات"

خواطر ١-٥

حياة الإنسان حوار مع الزمان

زِنْ كلامك تمنع زلًة لسانكْ

أجمل ما في الوجود ، أن الله دائماً موجود

النفس ، التي لا تتكلم ، كثيراً ما تتألم

العلم بجلالة يرفع ، والجهل للذل يُخضع

خواطر ٦-١٠

الحياة مدرسة بلا دوام يشدو بها العلم إلى الأمام

لا ينموا الثمر إذا فقدت لُبَّ الفكر

الحارة الصغيرة أخبارها كثيرة

أجمل العطاء ما لم يُقدَّم باستجداء

كُن قنوعاً بما تملك ، حتى لا تهلك
