Singing isolation against isolation

Literature & culture

Singing isolation against isolation

Al-Sadiq Al-Radi

The light also seeps through transparently

Towards the sea surface

It is loaded with the scents of the prophetic moon

The epitome of magic

singing great ecstasy,

The fragility of the elements in the compositions of light,

Spirits rise in waves

She chants silver

Some of the properties of water

A thread of foam smoke

In the whisper of the Psalms

And the whisper of singing on the lips of poplars

If they swim between the bottom and the surface

A space of serendipitous dread

No color

Where silence is the opening of inner existence

State of the sea and water law

Take a ray of sunshine from the window

And soar in the spaces of absence

To eternal departure

There is no place for you now

God lives in all places

A face that lights up the alleys

A street that extends through a piece of bread - the impossible food

To the clothes of the poor -

What's waving through the windows?!

Do you see a lover's handkerchief?

The color of the sea

Tears of youth in the breast of a lover

With the taste of fire

Dripping

And the birds complete the dew

On the dream balcony

Blocking the horizon

She searches for her childhood with the memory of vast space

And the canned dawn in the shelves of silence

And the hidden language of singing on the pores of the grass

And the trees hidden in tree statues

Sadness does not choose tears as a clothing

It is called crying in dictionaries

It is something that is exposed in the crumbs of the soul

It passes through the great fountains of blood

He escapes the confines of dark matter

Nothing perishes in the ocean of color

Or it appears as a gel in the spaces of nothingness

Sadness in us is a creature that walks on two legs,

A circle floating in the void of the universe,

Erased by the ray of silence

The reassuring memory of stillness

How silver strands reject light

Bubbles that are rejected

Between the woman of Razzaz

A sign of the wind in the boy's rain

Lighting in the water

A thread of dew drops

Magic

Prayer

Structure

Rainbow?!

That's the secret of the universe

To see in every good thing

A sign to God

And the majestic divine magic

That is the secret of justice

things to explode,

reveals its holiness,

You see in something that was a possibility

Then the treasures open

The land was saving wheat

For her children

Poor people who only have dirt on themselves.

Tell those who spread injustice - in the name of God - on the streets

God is in the fire of tears

And in the bread rows

And the carts

And markets

And the rooms are destroyed

The sea... O voice of maternal women,

Drought... the silence of men and mothers,

May God never die

How did what yesterday become stinking air?

An unpleasant smell

As the air was good

A wind that establishes the major street data

A fragrance against that smell

What a similar night to last night!

Everything we sing

On Nile Street

absent,

And folded in the waves forgotten,

Wreckage

In harbors or as food for algae

In the sound sliding to the bottom

And in the silence of far distances

We are in an hour of grief

And times of bereavement

emotional emptiness,

National

Now we won't cry

But who will bargain for the coming tomorrow?

What will we lose?

We ranked countries

Only see the face of oneself in the mirror

A woman is the language of ash..

She betrays her lover and does not fear the lights of day.

Don't trust the heart

Love hurts

While it is useful to move in stillness

In the spaces of the ego

Consciousness of formation

And the creativity of the individual as a whole,

Equivalent to launch authority

Determine the location by referring to it by name

Break up the gel

And hack the secret

Open the windows of things

Dedicate to fine details

Power

Dreams and memories are destroyed

And semi-puppets - dolls and friends!

Don't trust the heart

So that light shines on all spaces

And stare well

Choose your place and burn where you left off

You're blood high now,

And you are the ignition - the fire

The censer of anger

You are then the light of the coming moment

I am you

We are the people and the street

And the columns that extend the asphalt

My voice, your voice

Cracked rust in the seats

And the collapse of Parliament

I didn't say it was a scandal

It could be seen under the sleeves of the robes

She was exposed in the wrappings of the turban

And the fake beard extension

Why didn't you say?!

The buildings elongated

You emptied your hungry children on the dirt of the sidewalk!

You know they are against you

Against us

Against me

I know that I will remain against the power of the subconscious

We are now deep into the issue

Fire center

And on the margins it remains

The hidden power of language to attach to the void

Yes, we will forget everything they do

And say

We will crucify them naked with nails

On the portal of history..

Then we spend the days forgetting

And the legendary, majestic silence

You are not of light to forgive

You are made of clay to be built

So build me a house

us

For you

For the little ones coming

There is no justice on earth

Let our blood be the standard

If the sky was opposite the earth

Let the blood be on the ground

God said, “Be.”

Then we were

Did we check completely?

Of the existence of the self in our souls

Against formation

And the creatures are released?!

We are breaking out of the great siege of isolation

Let's write about the song of great solitude

But we are struck by sadness

It's time for us to step out into the silence

And at the bottom of the question?

The Kushite mourning

Dedicated to Magdy and all the flowers of Sudan that were burned prematurely

Noureddine Mannan

They killed you, his sons... his love. Love does not kill

So I left like days... like dreams... I wish the injustice would go away

***

O Kushite, they were thoughtless when they came to you as a thief

So you left the place, the time, the beloved and the tribe

It's time to leave, and your bereaved mother prepares for you the Harira, the blind woman, and the Adila

The Tatars attacked you while Khartoum was pregnant with impossible songs and wishes

***

What remains of the time of love and remembrance during the Tatar era?

What remains except catching the wind in the dead time?

How did the darkness come to Sudan... confiscating its sun, the ghouls, in broad daylight?

What happened to Sudan, the father of that beautiful group?

Where are the kings with tambourines?

Where are the robots who engrave letters on the rock?!

Where is the noble Taharqa?

Where is the horse in his soul, Abdul Fadil?

Where is the intercessor and his companions? Where is the genius loftiness?

Where is the Imam and where is Abd al-Khaliq al-Mahjoub? Where is al-Azhari?

Where is the boy Abdul Latif... and where is Joseph Al-Afif?

That ebony boy with a light shadow

Where is the Samhari texture?

***

The Tatars attacked, and neither a goose nor an uncle nel brooded in the house

Woe to Sudan, which has deviated from orbit

To the void without saying goodbye or wailing

The people did not stand up for his thief and did not sniff the glaze

He greets Halfa...on the palm trees

I cry for myself...for the long silence

Should I cry over Omdurman or should I cry over Azza Al-Khalil?

What a shame! I wonder who I cry for!

I cry for the one who left the country as an immigrant

Or who spent time behind prisons with perseverance

Whoever destroyed the throne of injustice shook the pulpits

He who is steadfast on principles is patient

Mahmoud Al-Khasal makes him cry and is rebellious

He who walks towards death flies like a bird

I wonder who I cry for!

I cry for the lion of evil

I cry for your great pain when it rises

He kicked the insult and disdained

He burned the intruder with his army when he slandered

I cry for the railways and Atbara

I cry for a homeland lying in ruins

Covered with wounds, Hattam complains to the Lord!

***

If the paradise of eternity is Yemen

Sudan is not a homeland

Tame a passion for every art

The Nile and the richest rivers

Oh, I love the country

He has guided me... He has guided my body

***

Rise, O Kushite, like a phoenix from the ashes

History and glories were revived from Oued Louad

Arise, shake the spacious earth, for it is pregnant with Zad... that is, Zad

And hold on tight, Magdy’s mother.. We are all Magdy and your love is increasing

Shaking the palm leaves, we come on top of the horses

With the tar, the gargar, and the tambourine, every seductress dances for my glory in my country

There is no time for sorrows, do not wear mourning clothes

These are songs of struggle, each rhyme calling out:

This is the Bridegroom of Glory, rising above the heads of enemies

***

Don't be alarmed, mother, if the siege lasts for a long time

Those lofty foreheads will not bow like the lighthouse

You will not bend to break

The time for brokenness has passed

Don't be frightened, sister, by the Tatar soldiers

Tomorrow your boy will return from across the seas

Like thunder, like clouds carrying... home

Khartoum will have its knight and the dust will settle

About two lovers embracing in amazement

They blamed each other in the horns of the Nilein in broad daylight

Don't be alarmed, mother, if the siege lasts for a long time

Tomorrow the Tatars will be defeated

Sudan achieves the most wonderful victory

***

It is the same at death as a dwarf or a king

Tomorrow the Tatars will be defeated, and you will remain despite the Qanlik's will

A wound that lights the path to the imminent dawn

***

His children, you are here, you will remain alive despite the injustice

And they will go away like smoke, like the wind, and you will live

A childish melody echoed by the throats of the good-natured boy
