Najila Naji Poems

God sends him a lovely pearl
And father curses his baby girl
Oh! She is sorry for being born
She didn't make a decision alone
...

Framed in a velvety magical night I gleam
Midnight blues and purple of my dream
Hidden somewhere in deep dark woods
Wailed to clear all my scars that I could
...

Died by your gifted forlorn that came in between me and you
And now watching from heaven the lives you are about to sue
Oh! You were my shell; my lovely home when my grief grew
now realized you killed me and yes I am talking about you—
...

From a victim of darkness, pleading happy fate,

sick and tired of smiling, busy making self-hate.
...
