Beirut... Poem by hazem al jaber

Beirut...



O MY sorrowful city...
O MY sweeter beloved City...
a great city you are...
the greater you are...
the begetter of heroes...

they stole the smile from your cheeks...
and the freedom from your land...

left you alone...
suffering from the depth of your wounds...
they left, to get their fun there...
there in another cities...
left you alone...
alone only with you fires and pains...
putter around there...
there in another places...
as a pariahs strangers...
just only to get their fun...

but...
you are the greater...
you are steadfast...
the firm...
the resolute...
and the tolerant...

here you are...
as we all knew you and know you...
taking back your health...
restoring to health again..
as always...
as we knew you...

O Beirut...
never you will be down...
never...
never...
because of the nobility, which you are...
because of the heroes which you created...

here you are again..
an open city to all through a closed Ocean...
sweet city through your pure heart...

Receiving a life...
opening your wings...
binding up your wounds...

O Beirut...
O MY sweeter beloved City...
in the heart...
in the mid of our hearts...
so deep inside our hearts always you are...
