Between SHE and FATHER My story ended as they were leaving FATHER held up his hand waving It is only myself in the convoy I can’t see I screamed , FATHER, why not me? HE closely came and said you're sick Later I will send someone for you to pick I felt deep, that we will not soon meet A wound will start and none can treat FATHER allow my small brother to stay? HE will be in my eyes night and day Your brother can’t stay , HE has to go His mother is waiting and my MOTHER so Then i had to wave and say goodbye As they were moving and I slowly die I was staring as they vanished fast Heart was bleeding and the gap is vast I went back alone to my empty home Touching the walls and room by room Here was Sakina, my head on her shoulder She said: my small one, you are getting older Here is the cradle, empty but I shake May be I hear your voice thus I slake Here FATHER hugged me; here he said I love you, I caught you; so I ran and fled Here FATHER prayed I can hear his sound I still see his head for long on the ground The house that I had in every corner a mark Is so gloomy so drear so empty and so dark I waited and waited till waiting was bored And time was cutting me by his sword Asking everyone coming from the east My FATHER is there is HE ok at least? I wrote a letter with the ink on my tears Asking about Sisters, Brothers and all dears’ The letter reached at noon on the 10th I started asking about each one health FATHER was reading and tears on cheek and each of my sisters has her own shriek SHE is asking for ABBAS what to tell? he’s far SHE want to hug him and also ALI AL AKBAR SHE misses ABDULLAH, wants to hug too What shall I tell HER, HIS blood has flew I shall tell her to hug him slowly; but deep As he will never wake up from this sleep SHE asked for SAKINA, for RUQAYYA , for RABAB But shall I tell her that they will get nab Or that RUQAYYA will not continue the trip As SHE will be with ME lip on a lip SHE marked all the letter with tears And I will stamp it by blood all the years
