Translation of a poem in Arabic that I wrote on 15 May 2011 and that I had never translated before. I am providing below the English translation the original poem with a small correction. There are probably other small grammatical errors that I would not have noticed.The previous poem was published here دعاء الأيام، كفاح ألأوهام | Geetha Balvannanathan's Blog - Isis Tratum


If only I were a scream
to flirt with your lips
as I rise from them
springing free, forgetting silence



If only I were a rock
to roll between your hands
as I oppose your ways against happiness
resilient, bound, committed to stillness



If only I were a chick
to hide between your wings
as I look out from them
satisfied and calm, yours until I die



If only I were pride
to support the pulse between your ribs
as I help you store the air
a loyal owner, extracting sorrows



Today, from your rib
I am renewed, a sorceress, Eve
and from my rib, none can remove you
neither past grudges nor annihilation



I am the scream of the steadfast rock
so forget, Sisyphus, that I should roll
I am the pride of the chick for its mother
my days' tears flowed like rivers



I am every mother who called in the dark
the stones were shattered by my screams
I am what escaped the death of dreams
the wells filled with the blood of my veins



Look to the oncoming spring
for it bears the seed of my flowers
Put on the garment of the regretful autumn
for it is too late to oppress me



دعاء الأيام، كفاح الأوهام

ليتني صرخة
كي أغازل شفتيك
و أنا أرتفع منهما
منطلقة حرَة ناسية السُكوت



ليتني صخرة
كي أتكركب بين يديك
و أنا أعارض طرقك ضدَ الهناء
صامدة مقيَدة ملتزمة بالسُكون



ليتني فرخ
كي أتخبَأ بين جناحيك
و أنا أطلُ منها
راضية هادئة، لك إلى أن أموت



ليتني فخر
أساند النَبض بين ضلعيك
وأنا أساعدك على تخزين الهواء
مالكة وافية منتزعة للشجون



أنا اليوم من ضلعك
تجدَدت ساحرة حوَاء
و من ضلعي ما أمكن نزعك
لا الحقد الماضي و لا الفناء



أنا صرخة الصخرة الصَامدة
فإنس يا سيزيف أن أستدار
أنا فخر الفرخ للأم الوالدة
سال دمع أيامي سيل الأنهار



أنا كل أم نادت في الظلام
تحطمت بصرختي الأحجار
أنا ما نجى من موت الأحلام
إمتلأت بدم عروقي الآبار



أنظر إلى الربيع القادم
فهو يحمل زرع زهري
إرتد ثوب الخريف النادم
فقد فات الأوان عن قهري

The beautiful gallows on Cape Canaveral

The silence of rivers speaks to the tallest tree

Its roots of millennium touch the hollow of Earth

The lessons of tedium help the mind in rebirth

The passage that quivers leads through slices of me

 

Foregone are the shivers the new tides set me free

In moon the selenium spins promises of dearth

Enriched the uranium times renewing the firth

In history’s givers printed code of the Three

 

We gathered the shadows the precious mineral

The crowds lined with haters cobbled stones drew the way

The women like widows advanced our funeral

 

The beautiful gallows on Cape Canaveral

When yesterday’s craters wrought the guesses today

The blue wept like willows the despair general

I will walk alone

Through moonlit pathways to stones

Where snow will bear fruit

 

Fruit will taste bitter

As honey and dewdrops wane

In winter’s chilled hearth

 

Frozen blueberries

Rasp berries upon my frame

While wood clasps chimneys

 

Thawing tongue will cut

Within mind stories of flame

That ash blew to winds

 

Woodcutters did thrive

The age of innocence spent

Wicker braids weaker

 

Icicles dangle

Inner pails warm bellies flow

Gushing winterland

 

Broken red bangle

Shards of glass in my fingers

Mother calls me so

Night time spent in drifting winds

Wandering the skies

 

Pulsating her scent

As I fly through her linings

The push and the pull

 

Heartbeat resonance

The blue trace of her lingers

Within diamond frame

 

Mind flies through her blue

Scarlet trace of her fingers

Her palm my meadows

 

Mother sees me shine

Through the thick and the thin walls

Reverberating

 

Starry eyed children

Chest filled with her white powder

Intoxication

 

Bring me the waters

Metamorphosis strikes Heart

All dough will bear bread

 

The flesh for the soul

Nourishment instils bearers

The joy of the One

 

Mother carries me

Her back a bone of kingdoms

That icy emerged

 

Snow falls on her ends

Scarcity in knowledge spent

Book of shells for fools

 

Glorious her walk

Within the depths of her soul

Twisting gyrating

 

Replicating cells

I walk within my still self

A mirror for Eye

Blue ridges split seams

As my heartbeats burst the cage

My mind imploded

 

Galaxies whirled past

Their light invaded sockets

My unseeing eyes

Split images fused

Undoubtedly one appeared

Myriad of faces

 

Head bent in prayer

I will confess future sins

Within joins without

 

They may cast the stones

With you all stones turn feathers

As I untie knot

Mother in me speaks

Her tongue so fierce yet so warm

Pervading my soul

 

Be my rising Star

I will be your moonlight’s shade

Softly caressing
