This is for you Syria, for your struggle, melancholy, wounds and your wild bloody roses
for your freedom, for your tired restless eyes and heavy grey skies
this is for your silent  stones and your curved fragile houses,

this is the story of you Syria ,a story of me,
a story of both of us ..a story of death and birth and every gleams in between 
 
music and songs only !
but more than that, a skin I want you to wear,
a drug I want to you to swallow 
sins in heavens  in air 
a wind to carry and follow  
a hope to keep in despair 
a faith to hold in tomorrow 
and a sea I want you to measure 
for a smile in front of death
and a laughter in the face of fear 
for a hope in the face of misery,
a melody in the face of darkness 
to rise against death, to hold a fire in a hand 
in lands of ache and sorrow 
this is for you Syria
its my heart in sounds 
its my blood in waves 
from yesterday's agony
from yesterday's pain 
from yesterday's hell
it's music for tomorrow .

غريب على الخليج 
بدر شاكر السياب 
بالأمس حين مررت بالمقهى ، سمعتك يا عراق
وكنت دورة أسطوانة
هي دورة الأفلاك في عمري، تكوّر لي زمانه
في لحظتين من الأمان ، و إن تكن فقدت مكانه
هي وجه أمي في الظلام
وصوتها، يتزلقان مع الرؤى حتى أنام
و هي النخيل أخاف منه إذا ادلهمّ مع الغروب
فاكتظّ بالأشباح تخطف كلّ طفل لا يؤوب
من الدروب
الشمس أجمل في بلادي من سواها ، و الظلام
حتى الظلام - هناك أجمل ، فهو يحتضن العراق
واحسرتاه ، متى أنام
فأحسّ أن على الوسادة
من ليلك الصيفي طلاّ فيه عطرك يا عراق ؟
بين القرى المتهيّبات خطاي و المدن الغريبة
غنيت تربتك الحبيبة
وحملتها فأنا المسيح يجرّ في المنفى صليبه ،

Badr Shakir al-Sayyab


(1924–1964)
died tragically at the early age of 38, but in his short life he was largely responsible for a wholescale revolution in Arab poetics through his poetic experimentation and innovation at a time of great turmoil in the Arab world – the end of the Second World War and the creation of Israel. Al-Sayyab’s talent allowed him to write poetry that was completely new, both in form and in content, overturning the metrics of classical Arab poetry. He drew on ancient Iraqi and Greek mythologies and wrote about complex issues in simple language with powerful imagery.

He was influenced greatly by the English romantic poets, notably Keats, Shelley, Byron and Wordsworth, but above all by his contemporaries in spirit Edith Sitwell (1887-1964) and T S Eliot (1888-1965), both of whom had published ground-breaking collections just before al-Sayyab’s birth (Sitwell’s Façade and Eliot’s The Waste Land).

Together with fellow Iraqi poets, Nazik al-Malai’ka and Abdul Wahab al-Bayati, the Arab free verse poetry movement gained decisive momentum through the seven collections of Al-Sayyab published in the 1950s and early 1960s, notably the now renowned poem “Song of Rain” from his third and highly significant collection of 1960. It is considered by Arab critics and readers to be until now the most important collection of modern Arabic poetry.
