The Thunder Song Poem by Aboul-Qacem Echebbi

In the silence of the night when
The universe adheres to godliness
Wishes disappear behind serenity
The thunder muttered a chant
That creatures have amplified
Like the justice's sound
Yelling inside destiny
It waddles noisily through
The maze of marshes
As a powerful goblin
In the depths of the cavity
I asked the dreadful and sorrowful night
Watching sunset so pleasant and unusual
Is the song of thunder, a sigh or regret
Reciting it submissively,
The sad hearted universe
Or is it a force that
Has abused stormily
And the fierce pain appears in his voice
But the night remains inert and paralyzed
Silent as the desert stream, numb and frozen
