Traveler Without Track Poem by Nouzad Jaadan

Translated from Arabic

From the street 's heart I born
Under the high castle I grow
The rich 's windows reflect my sadness
I never did sex with any wall
But it increased in my face
My pens is branches from sadness tree
It ink 's from flow tears
My sorrow is blind and dumb
My happiness is lightning and thunder
All travelers knew there ways
I am traveler with out track
Hey! Who let me alone
Every bird need a flock
Where you flied my heart 's stealing?
That they talk about
Does it disappeared under mornings wings?
Where my happiness is hiding?
Is it in Ali Baba 's cave?
If it there what is password? !
Open Ya Somsom or adieu my sadness
***
The rocks in the way were broken
I always bite it so it frequent
Hey sir!
Do you know bite the rocks? !
Look to my strong teeth..it grind the rocks although it is milky
Hey sir!
Do you put on shoes of glass?
Do you wear a shawl of wind?
Hey you! insomniac in the night
Made a bed from cement and a blanketed sky
Then count the stars.. it is amazing medicine
***
Hey years!
What is birthday? ..why do not celebrate in death day?
I know my death hour and don not know born hour
My pervious footstep brings my coming footstep
Why romantic persons miss to past
Then their past watches perk with gold
Then they said the sundown is a gold hour
They will travel with windy train
I will travel without has ticket Or passport
***
From many years I am lost in sounds
And the wind is the biggest tin
When the wind is blowing I guessed the absent return
He bored from his holly day and return
He came to talked about Sharzad 's stories
And gives a lesson to wind because it laughs at branches
***
Hey sea!
Tell me who is hiding when you alliance with sky
What matter with you..you always hit the rock and leaved it without suit
Hey sea!
You made from me an island
Far and alone
Where is the gulfs and heads
Why don 't share me the glasses
I was bored from hipping from hard heart chest
Where is my aspect and you are around me? !
Orthopedist I be a traveler without aspect
The boats come near from me
You kick it so it sinks
The glad hour for me when you be palsy
A timer palsy
Like rainbow amuse me
Hey sea!
Am I a drunken boat? ..but does boat be drunken?
Or you a drunken
What matter with the storm?
It is blowing when the boat closed from beach
In the sea you need to captain
And every thing at earth need to counter
Looking at stars need to strong leg
Loving moon need to a large heart
Walking in the street need to gravity
What about traveling to mars
DO WE need to captain, legs, heart and gravity?

Hey! Who bathing by hot water
Did the dessert slept with you?
Then you bathing by the snow
Dried your body with air
And sat in tired slats carton house
Played a tone that 's name cough
Koh koh
Then you did not met a doctor
Front the sickness by sickness
I have immunity
Challenge the cold I
heal the snivel with cold
And heal the wounds by salt
Do you can do it?
Who bathing by hot water
***
One day I hoped be a berry
On strong branch
at the tree
It has puff from loaf
Do not smacked by wind
Rain cann 't invasive
but smack by bland breeze then it is jerking in happy
***
Hey castles! Hey happiness!
A day will come when your pictures fall down
A day will come when you sink in your hopes
It will be ashes or dirt
Hey castles! Hey happiness!
A death morning
Who drew on my face a geography
A death morning
Who let me share a cup with tears
One day I decided burn the castles
I caught a candle
Before I start I saw a absent 's shadow
He said: don 't burn the street you will burn
I said: who burn his heart don 't ask about his hands
Take the candle and continue turn on the street 's lambs
His shadow still set in the street who diffusion the light
He said then traveled
As the past when he threw me in the train and traveled
***
Ah mirrors!
And who mirrors cheat them
Why you see just the face?
The moral is seeing the heart
I am unique dealer
I sell flowers
And buy thistles with scrimpy price
***
Hello sadness
My mother and my wet nurse
You suckle me milk mixed with tears
Does wine mix with sugar? !
Some one know you very good
Some one know you little
You are world 's wet nurse
And who the fate frown in their face
it works in holiday too
***
My hopes bored from sitting on clouds
The cloud omitted it without rain
Hey crow! Where is my hopes?
My dreams is dim light
The street 's light eat it
Hey sadness! do you accept me as astrologer about you
I am without job
I know the street 's length, width, and highest
And they don 't accept me as engineer
***
Christmas will come and go
You will not felt it
New year will come and travel
You will not felt it
The lovers will met and the night will steal them
They will not felt it
The sadness will grow in us
But I will felt it very will
Hello who growing in me
Travelers changeable
But the train continue his travel
Why the train don 't change
Hey castles own! answer me!
Why are you afraid from death?
I don 't afraid
Does I have sorrow gun
Or I don ' t have any thing to lost
***
I am Traveler without track
I don 't cant emotion from you I need just heart
Seed the flowers where you go
Don 't forget..don 't set on tree 's branches
Who buckled his neck..he fixation to ask
We will plants trees and roses in our road
In travel 's road
A far away from destruction and graves
The past was painful memory
Let make tomorrow as beautiful memory
It will be rain rain
