A Desert date-palm
Is, of course, rough and tough,
To endure the desert climates.
Hard and prickly are its leaves,
To save itself from its ruthless environs
But fruits of date–palm
Are sweet and delicious!
Not a bit of bitterness of desert life! !
For a traveler in scorching sand,
Date-palm offers revitalizing shade.
Though many troubles encircle you,
As that of a desert palm,
May the Almighty bestow you,
Patience and forbearance,
As that of sweet fruits of date-palm.
Though you are seated in a place,
Where you ought to tackle,
People with entirely different natures,
May God grant you wisdom and mercy,
As that of shade of a date-palm.
gives the feeling of having gone for a ride among the trees in a desert longing for a repository for some time...great poem....

I would like to translate this poem
I like poems that have something important to say. This one does for all mankind. All we need is wisdom. My prayer is that everyone pray for that. Then we shall all eat Date - Palms. You were clear in your meaning, a wonderful job! GW62
