Dauntless Rivers
Composed by Dr. Gamal Morsi
translated by Sameer Alshenawi
Into slumber , it drifted at ease
Dreaming of the shore of palm trees
washing its dreams into light's abode
Glorifying the name of who bestowed
upon water its commanding might,
and Arab soul upon the light,
Who blessed the Palm tree
with pride and dignity
O My friend the Tigris river !
Since you've known your intimate lover
Had it never come into your mind
That mortal ships sneakily lied
behind these seas and rocks
laden with Awax flocks ,
moving towards thee,
with an hour of adversity
And a moment of misery?
But you have slept
Dreaming you have kept!!
O my River , haven't you ever felt
That devils,into your desert,have dwelt
Not to answer your heart's wish
But to devour your golden fish
I shall write, Old Friend of mine!!
In my book ,only one line
You shall never die"
