A post of random Literature for a change:)




جئت ، لا أعلم من أين ، ولكني أتيت
ولقد أبصرت قدامي طريقاً فمشيت
وسأبقى ماشياً إن شئت هذا أم أبيت
كيف جئت ؟ كيف أبصرت طريقي ؟
لست أدري !

أجديد أم قديم أنا في هذا الوجود
هل أنا حر طليق أم أسير في قيود
هل أنا قائد نفسي في حياتي أم مقود
أتمنى أنني أدري ولكن ...
لست أدري !

وطريقي ، ما طريقي ؟ أطويل أم قصير
هل أن أصعد أم أهبط فيه وأغور
أأنا السائر في الدرب أم الدرب يسير
أم كلانا واقف والدهر يجري ؟
لست أدري !

I stand amid the roar


Of a surf-tormented shore,


And I hold within my hand


Grains of the golden sand-


How few! yet how they creep


Through my fingers to the deep,


While I weep- while I weep!


O God! can I not grasp


Them with a tighter clasp?


O God! can I not save


One from the pitiless wave?


Is all that we see or seem


But a dream within a dream?

(No internet! Don't cheat!)
