Eastern Arabic

فَلَوْ أَنَّ مَا أَسْعَى لِأَدْنَى مَعِيشَةٍ كَفَانِي وَلَمْ أَطْلُبْ قَلِيلٌ مِنَ المَالِ وَلَكِنَّمَا أَسْعَى لِمَجْدٍ مُؤَثَّلٍ وَقَدْ يُدْرِكُ المَجْدَ المُؤَثَّلَ أَمْثَالِي وَمَا المَرْءُ مَا دَامَتْ حُشَاشَةُ نَفْسِهِ بِمُدْرِكِ أَطْرَافِ الخُطُوبِ وَلَا آلِي

إِنِّي تَفَرَّسْتُ فِيكَ الخَيْرَ أَعْرِفُهُ وَاللهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنْ مَا خَانَنِي البَصَرُ أَنْتَ النَّبِيُّ وَمَنْ يُحْرَمْ شَفَاعَتَهُ يَوْمَ الحِسَابِ فَقَدْ أَزْرَى بِهِ القَدَرُ فَثَبَّتَ اللهُ مَا آتَاكَ مِنْ حَسَنٍ تَثْبِيتَ مُوسَى وَنَصْراً كَالَّذِي نُصِرُوا يَا آلَ هَاشِمَ إِنَّ اللهَ فَضَّلَكُمْ عَلَى البَرِيَّةِ فَضْلاً مَا لَهُ غِيَرُ

The tragedy of Al-Mansur is considered one of the poet Heine's earliest works. In it, he attempted to project his own feelings onto the story of his failed love for his cousin Amalie, who married another man. This caused him a psychological and spiritual crisis, which he tried to express in the tragedy of Al-Mansur.

إِلَى هِنْدٍ صَبَا قَلْبِي وَهِنْدٌ مِثْلُهَا يُصْبِي وَهِنْدٌ غَادَةٌ غَيْدَا ءُ مِنْ جُرْثُومَةٍ غُلْبِ وَمَا إِنْ وَجَدَ النَّاسُ مِنَ الأَدْوَاءِ كَالحُبِّ لَقَدْ لَجَّ بِهَا الإِعْرَا ضُ وَالهَجْرُ بِلَا ذَنْبِ وَلَمَّا أَقْضِ مِنْ هِنْدٍ وَمِنْ جَارَاتِهَا نَحْبِي

أَبْلِغْ سُلَيْمَى بِأَنَّ البَيْنَ قَدْ أَفِدَا وَانْبِئْ سُلَيْمَى بِأَنَّا رَائِحُونَ غَدَا وَقُلْ لَهَا كَيْفَ أَنْ يَلْقَاكِ خَالِيَةً فَلَيْسَ مَنْ بَانَ لَمْ يَعْهَدْ كَمَا عَهِدَا نَعْهَدْ إِلَيْكِ فَأوْفِينَا بِعَهْدَتِنَا يَا أَصْدَقَ النَّاسِ مَوْعُوداً إِذَا وَعَدَا

Growing up together in the Surra section of central Kuwait, Katkout, Fahd, and Sadiq share neither ethnic origin nor religious denomination - only friendship and a rage against the unconscionable sectarian divide turning their lives into war-zone rubble. To lay bare the ugly truths, they form the protest group Fuada’s Kids. Their righteous transgressions have made them targets of both Sunni and Shi’a extremists. They’ve also elicited the concern of Fahd’s grandmother, Mama Hissa, who cautions them that should they anger God, the sky will surely fall.

مرداد‬ يُحكى أنّ نوح، بعد الطوفان، سأل ابنه أن يبني هيكلًا يشبه الفلك، في وسطه مذبح تشتعل فيه نار لا تنطفئ، وأن يجمع فيه تسعة رجال يسمّون "رفاق الفلك". نفّذ الابن الوصيّة، ومضت السنوات والفلك على حالها، إنّما رفاق الفلك على تغيّر: فبدل أن يكتفوا بما هو ضروريّ، جمعوا أملاكًا، وذهبًا، ومالًا، وتحوّلوا كهنة منكبّين على حماية قشور الدين وسطحية كهنوته.
