nadia abduljabbar Poems

Today I got a maid:

I always laugh at my
Luck;
...

She came to me
Sobbing like a child,
Telling me about
He fear from his silence,
...

Thou art is so grand and fine,
Thou are so great and kind,
Some call thee God,
Some call thee Allah,
...

اصدق بوعدك يوم ودي احس انك
وفي
اشرح لي المكتوم علمني سرك ليه خفي
اعط الهوى جزره ومده
...

On the Green Silky Carpet,
Bride of all brides,
Walk slowly and Proudly,
On the Green Carpet,
...

Blue sky,
Singing birds
Flying every where,
Bright trees,
...

What am I supposed
To say, or do,
Before this flow
Of love songs and kisses,
...

To April and all the glitter of Knowledge and Confidence it ignited in my soul and heart 12 years ago. Its sparkle is still gleaming within me and it is a factor in liberating and sustaining me before DISAPPOINTMENT.


April is the cruellest
...

“To Khadijah Bawazeer”
(now Dr. Khadijah Bawazeer)

In the ebb and flaw
...

If Rainbow comes to you
Saying take me
And put me on your chest
Can you say No?
