“أنا لا أسكن في أي مكان
إن عنواني هو اللامنتظر ..
مبحرا كالسمك الوحشي في هذا المدى
في دمي نار وفي عيني شرر..!
ذاهبا أبحث عن حرية الريح التي يتقنها كل الغجر ..
راكضا خلف غمام أخضر
شاربا بالعين آلاف الصور
ذاهبا حتى نهايات السفر ..!”

“He who fights the destinies to stay with you,
He who finds his life better beside you, and clings to you despite of all the events,
He who hates your sadness, and tires himself to put a smile on your face,
He who cries when you’re away before smiling when you’re here,
But God didn’t decide that you’d stay with them despite of all this strugle,
Is the only one who deserves immortality in your memory.”

“We killed you and it was not new for us, we killed the companions of the Prophet and the friends of God. O how many Messengers did we slay? O how many imams? We killed you and you prayed the night prayer, as all of our days are struggle - and all of our days are Karbala.”

“Arab children,
Corn ears of the future,
You will break our chains,
Kill the opium in our heads,
Kill the illusions.
Arab children,
Don't read about our suffocated generation,
We are a hopeless case.
We are as worthless as a water-melon rind.
Dont read about us,
Dont ape us,
Dont accept us,
Dont accept our ideas,
We are a nation of crooks and jugglers.
Arab children,
Spring rain,
Corn ears of the future,
You are the generation
That will overcome defeat. ”
