The Saharan Wind
marhaban,
My bedouin friend,
It has been long,
Too long,
I notice the change you carried,
On your breeze,
It enflamed the Arab world,
It swept away the fear,
The torture,
The hatred,
The corruption,
That tormented countless peoples,
For six arduous centuries,
Its blessings,
Harboured by Allah,
Guided by the dead,
Were sprinkled amongst the blood-stained sands,
Its storms,
An army of the peasants,
Blew down palaces, kingdoms, and dictators,
And claimed the sands back,
In your rightful name,
Marhaban,
My bedouin friend,
It has been long,
Too long,
Al–hdmu-lilah Ala Salama
