Tawfiq Zayyad

IN ENGLISH :

(1)Passing RemarkWhen they ran over her,
the mulberry tree said:
"Do what you wish,
but remember
my right to bear fruit
will never die."

أمة فوق الصليب

أمة فوق الصليب
توفيق زياد

علّقونا أمةً كاملةً فوق الصليب
علّقونا فوقه -
حتى
نتوب
هذه النكسة ليست
آخر الدنيا ..

أحب ..ولكن

أُحِـبّ .. ولكن

شعر: توفيق زياد

أُحِبّ لو استطعت بلحظةٍ

أن أقلب الدنيا لكم : رأساً على عَقِبِ

السكّر المرّ

السكـّر المـرّ

توفيق زيّـاد

أجيبيني
أنادي جرحك المملوء ملحاً يا فلسطيني
أناديه وأصرخُ
ذوِّبيني فيه .. صبّيني
أنا ابنك ! خــلـّـفتني ها هنا المأساةُ

Do not come close to my madness

Do not come close to my madness

A man
Read the testimony of my birth,
Memorized my maturation,
And taught me love
Taught me the philosophy of men
The Science of the flesh
The history of the people

Intoxicated

Intoxicated

I went to you,
I was looking for answers

I went back with more questions,

intoxicated

I have painted nail

Juxtaposed hair
Decorated with a smile

Beautiful and appetite

New Lessons

My fiance' taught me some things new :


he told me, do not appreciate anyone, doesn't appreciating you.
he told me, do not miss anyone, doesn't missing me.
he told me, do not give attention for someone, doesn't care about you.
and he told me, don't Give more than what you Take
