Lest I lose my name
Madonna Asker
Translated by Mohammad A Yousef
***
I hold you
From start to finish
Lest I lose my name...
I carry within me your heavenly heart
That turns the soil of my land
And your name is carved in grooves
In its rich pulse...
I live on earth,
With your spirit, I see the cluster of your delicious grapes
I long for the harvest, but my hand doesn t dare touch them ...
And I still crave grape juice
and pray,
And seek His glorious dew...
you pity me,
And bow down
Your name is poured into my cup
Lest I lose my name...
There is a light that speaks from high
Convoys of letters line up and stare
Stripped from everything worldly...
A blue cloud flutters in your eyes
He hides among his leaves the letters of my name...
