Traveler without track

Translated from Arabic by: Nouzad jaadan

From the street 's  heart I born

Under the high castle I grow

The rich 's windows reflect my sadness

I never did ***  with any  wall

But it increased in my face

 My pens is branches from sadness tree

It ink 's  from flow tears 

My sorrow  is blind and dumb

My happiness is lightning and thunder 

All travelers knew there ways

I am traveler with out track

Hey! Who let  me alone

Every bird need a  flock

Where you flied my heart 's stealing?

That they talk about

Does it disappeared under mornings wings ?

Where my happiness is hiding?

Is it in Ali Baba 's cave?

If it there what is password?!

Open Ya Somsom or adieu my sadness

***

The rocks in the way were broken

I  always bite it so it frequent   

Hey sir!

Do you know bite the rocks?!

Look at  my strong teeth ..it grind the rocks although it is milky 

Hey sir!

Do you put on shoes of glass?

Do you wear a shawl of wind?

Hey you! insomniac in the night

Made a bed from cement and a blanketed sky 

Then count the stars.. it is amazing medicine

***

Hey years!

What is birthday? ..why do not celebrate in death day?

I know my death hour and don not know born hour

My pervious  footstep brings   my coming footstep  

Why romantic persons miss to past

 Then their  past watches perk  with gold

Then they said the sundown is a gold hour

They  will travel with windy train

I will travel without has ticket Or passport

***

  From many years I am lost in sounds

And the wind is the biggest tin

When the wind is blowing I guessed the absent return

He bored from his holly day and return

He came to talked about Sharzad 's stories

And gives a lesson to wind because it laughs at branches

***

 Hey sea!

Tell me who is hiding when you alliance with sky

What matter with you ..you always  hit the rock and leaved it without suit 

Hey sea!

You made from me an island

Far and alone

Where is the gulfs and heads 

Why don 't share me the glasses

I was bored from hipping from hard heart chest

Where is my aspect and you are around me?!

Orthopedist I be a traveler without aspect

The boats come near from me

You kick it so it sinks

The glad hour for me when you be palsy

A   timer  palsy

Like rainbow amuse me

Hey sea!

Am I a drunken boat ?..but does boat be drunken?

Or you a drunken

What matter with the storm?

It is blowing when the boat closed from beach

In the sea you need to captain 

And every thing at earth need to counter 

Looking at stars need to strong leg

Loving moon need to a large heart

Walking in the street need to gravity

What about traveling to mars

DO WE need to captain, legs, heart and gravity?

Hey! Who bathing by hot water

Did the dessert slept with you?

Then you bathing by the snow

Dried your body with air

And sat in  tired slats carton house

Played a tone that 's name cough

Koh koh

Then you did not met a doctor

Front the sickness by sickness

I have immunity 

Challenge the cold  I

heal the snivel  with cold

And heal  the wounds by salt

Do you can do it?

Who bathing by hot water

***

One day I hoped be a berry 

On strong branch

at the tree

It has puff from loaf

Do not smacked by wind

Rain cann 't invasive 

but smack by bland  breeze then it is jerking in happy 

***

Hey castles! Hey happiness !

A day will come when your pictures fall down

A day will come when you sink in your hopes

It will be ashes or dirt    

Hey castles! Hey happiness !

A death morning

Who drew on my face a geography 

A death morning

Who let me share a cup with tears

 One day  I decided burn the castles 

I caught a candle  

Before I start I saw a absent 's shadow

 He said: don 't burn the street you will burn

I said : who burn his heart don 't ask about his hands

Take the candle and continue turn on the street 's lambs 

His shadow still set in the street who diffusion  the light

He said then  traveled

As the past when he threw me in the train and traveled

***

Ah mirrors!

And who mirrors cheat them

Why you see just the face ?

The moral is seeing the heart

I am unique dealer 

I sell flowers

And buy thistles with scrimpy  price  

***

Hello sadness

My mother and my wet nurse

You  suckle me milk mixed with  tears

Does wine mix with sugar?!

Some one know you very good

Some one know you little

You are world 's wet nurse

And who the fate frown  in their  face

it works in holiday too

***

My hopes bored from sitting on clouds

The cloud omitted it without rain

Hey crow! Where is my hopes?

My dreams is dim light

 The street 's light eat it 

Hey sadness ! do you accept me as astrologer about you

I am without job

I know the street 's  length, width, and highest

And they don 't accept me as engineer

***

Christmas  will come and go

You will not felt  it

New year will come and travel

You will not felt  it

The lovers will met and the night will steal them

They  will not felt  it

The sadness will grow in us

But I will felt it very will 

Hello who growing in me

Travelers changeable

But the train continue his travel

Why the train don 't change

Hey castles own ! answer me!

Why are you afraid from death?

I don 't afraid

Does I have sorrow  gun

Or I don ' t have any thing to lost

***

I am Traveler without track

I don 't cant emotion from you I need just heart

Seed the flowers where you go

Don 't forget ..don 't set on tree 's branches

Who buckled his neck ..he fixation  to ask

We will plants trees and roses in our road

In travel 's  road

A far away from destruction and graves  

The past was painful memory

Let make tomorrow as beautiful memory
