Abu Firas al-Hamadani Poems
I say while a pigeon near me weeps .... 'O my neighbor, do you feel my condition?
You have never tasted the changes of hardship .... And worries have never crossed your mind
Do you carry so much sadness in your heart .... while you stand on such a high branch?
O my neighbor, time has not been just between us .... Come let me share some of my burdens with you
...
Hardly had you shed tears, you soul were strong and refractory
Didst still you resist the passionate love or follow it voluntary?
Yes, I am passionate and have agony of love and torment
However, one who likes me does not reveal his secret.
...
Have you no appreciation, dear ladies, for a good deed?
Have you no forgiveness for someone
...
We reached our destination shortly before sunset;
As the Sun was sporting its late afternoon golden robe.
...
If the old woman was not at Manbej settled,
I would not fear the fate or seem frightened.
If not the ordeal, I would disdain to ask anyhow.
My proud soul is disdainful at past and now.
...

A Private Conversation Of A Prisoner
I say while a pigeon near me weeps .... 'O my neighbor, do you feel my condition?
You have never tasted the changes of hardship .... And worries have never crossed your mind
Do you carry so much sadness in your heart .... while you stand on such a high branch?
O my neighbor, time has not been just between us .... Come let me share some of my burdens with you
Come look at a soul that has become so weak, come .... that it goes back and forth in my body, torturing my mind
Will a prisoner laugh, and a free man cry? .... And a sad person remain silent, while the happy is loud?
I was more entitled to the tears than you .... but my tears in hardship have become rare (precious).'
