e-journal in EngLish: Poem of Arabs Sultan By: Nizar Qabbani If I were promised safety, if I could meet the Sultan I would say to him: O my lord the Sultan! my cloak has been torn by your ravenous dogs, your spies are following me all the time. Their eyes their noses their feet are chasing me like destiny, like fate They interrogate my wife and write down all the names of my friends. O Sultan! Because I dare to approach your deaf walls, because I tried to reveal my sadness and tribulation, I was beaten with my shoes. O my lord the Sultan! you have lost the war twice because half our people has no tongue. This poem was his first published poem, in 1994. This poem is an example of political verse that denotes Arab rulers and blames them for losing the wars because the people are unable to express their opinions. Christian James Asilo
