I cry you
I bid you a farewell
As a noble champion
And you had in each year a memory.
Ears got down
Trodden by horses' hooves
Reminiscence and aches
And ever departure
Hours before sundown and after
You loftily call to prayer
And Tigris River would smile
Cisterns, basins and ships
And the pastures of horses
Accordantly would return
And worriedly lie down
Safe guard each another
Proudly established a coalition
The danger would threaten
And morning is still in bed asleep
Moses shepherds
His stick turned short
It will never blow wells up
She turned bewildered
Wrapped oneself by a thick overcoat
And summer days become hotter
At midday it can't be withstood
Who are the comers?
Who are the emigrants?
Who look up the Arcturus?
Which generous man can attend?
Which glimpse of hope can get up?
Kettles would pour out
Sheep would be milked
And sleepers still in bed dreaming
No messengers should then
And no shelter to find
Hell it would replace making happiness
It looks like a pig bends on its breasts
Shouting, "where are Arabs?"
Where are those who ignored the sanctity of history?
As al-quds as Nablus
At each day dogs howl
And come around
Clock's hands turn upset
Stars would go wandering
Butterflies in their beds are slept
Never fly
The minaret of Hadbaah was cut off
As a tree branch it was chopped off
It becomes as a lifeless tree
It will not produce fruits
It will not highly stand
O, Iraq, may I cry you
Is not a consolatory to come here?

Perhaps I go early to wilderness and birds still perched.
And by my fast steed the wild animals can be reached.
53- مِكَر مِفَرِّ مُقْبِلٍ مُدْبِرٍ مَعاً كجُلْمُودِ صَخْرٍ حطَّهُ السَّيْل من عَلِ
A fast steed is aware to run forward and backward
Like a blunder which by flood cast down to a road.
54- كُمَيْتٍ يَزِل الّلبْدُ عن حالِ مَتْنِهِ كما زَلَّتِ الصَّفْواءُ بالُمَتَنِّزلِ
A slippery back brown-red horse so rider may not control
As a stone cast away by rain and hastily will roll

Besides it has slim abdomen it has a vigorous clatter
Its neighs burst inside its chest as if a boiling water
56- مِسَحِّ إِذا ما السَّابحاتُ على الوَنَى أَثَرْنَ الْغُبارَ بالكَديدِ المرَكلِ
A horse could run fast while racing and so much proud
Dust will rise up while by hooves touching the ground
57- َزِلّ الْغُلامَ الخِفُّ عَنْ صَهَواتِهِ وَيُلْوي بأَثَوابِ الْعَنيفِ الُمثَقَّلِ
A horse cannot be ridden because it is hasty and fierce.
Young boy or a little expert may slip while riding at once.

Its clattering sound is like a whirl that boys ran it overhead
A fast horse like this stone-string play while it does raid
This play usually of an ancient time the boys used to do it by tying a string to a pierced stone then to move it strongly so that it makes a whirling sound.

59- لَهُ أَيْطَلا ظَبْي وسَاقا نَعامةٍ وَإِرْخاءُ سِرحانٍ وَتَقْرِيبُ تَتْفُلِ
With waist of deer, legs of ostrich and a wolfish heart

60- ضليعٍ إِذا استَدْبَرْتَهُ سَدَّ فَرْجَهُ بضاف فُوَيْقَ الأَرْض ليس بأَعزَلِ
It has well-curved ribs and flanks and fine tail to show
If looked from back, its hind legs shields rear not to view

Its withers are solid as if bride's tamper of ancient time
Or a grindstone on which they crushed a colocynth rime
62- كأنَّ دِماءَ الهادِياتِ بِنَحْرِهِ عُصارَةُ حِنَّاءٍ بشَيْبٍ مُرَجَّلِ
Its front while chased wild animals perhaps becomes red
It turns as a henna colour as far as by blood of hunts shed
Here the poet makes a similarity that when this a fast steed chased the hunts and touched by a body the killed hunts its front will be spotted by the blood of hunted wild animals.

63- فَعَنَّ لنا سِرْبٌ كأنَّ نِعاجَهُ عَذارَى دَوارٍ في مُلاءٍ مُذَيّلِ
A herd of antelopes passed against us no more and fled
Its females as if un-sunned virgins by sin un-smeared
Here the poet resembles those fleeing wild animals as if the females of the herd are virgins who usually wearing long white robes, going for an idol encircling it so perhaps for nothing to repent. This habit is pre-Islam habit

64- فأَدْبَرْنَ كالجِزْعِ المَفصَّل بَيْنَهُ بِجِيدِ مُعَمِّ في الْعَشيرةِ مُخْوَلِ
So herd turn back displaying as boys' Yemenite beads
Likely are black and white coloured similar to those herds
Of course, two lines are not sufficient to versify all contents of the above lines. Here the poet personifies the colour of those turning back herds by the colours of Yemeni beads from which they made a necklace for a wellborn boy on that time.
However, the colour of this necklace is matched between black and white, which is similar to the colour of the antelopes.
65- فأَلحَقَنا بالهادِياتِ ودُونَهُ جَواحِرُها في صَرَّةٍ لم تُزَيَّلِ
As this horse is fast, all fleeing hunts can be hunted easily
Yet the hunts were not separated but the horse passed rapidly
66- فَعادى عِداءً بَيْنَ ثوْرٍ وَنَعْجَةٍ درَاكاً وَلَمْ يَنْضَحْ بِماءٍ فَيُغْسَلِ
An aux and caw, it passed while going on chase
It is never sweated while continuing the race
67- فظَلَّ طُهاةُ اللّحْم من بَيْنِ مُنْضجِ صَفِيفَ شِواءٍ أَوْ قَدِيرٍ مُعَجَّلِ
Then the meat is abundant to the cooks there
Cooked or grilled meat, as others would prefer
68- وَرُحْنَا يَكادُ الطّرْفُ يَقْصُر دُونَهُ مَتَى مَا تَرَقَّ الْعَيْنُ فيهِ تَسَفّلِ
A horse of a full good property of that wellborn steed
Eyes still looking it all side yet further look they need
69- فَبَاتَ عَلَيْهِ سَرْجُهُ وَلِجامُهُ وباتَ بِعَيْني قائِماً غَيْرَ مُرْسَلِ
On a saddle and rein, it would sleep night
Pasturing not until the day displaying light
70- أَصَاحِ تَرَى بَرْقاً أُرِيكَ وَمِيضَهُ كَلمْعِ الْيَدَيْنِ فِي حَبيِّ مُكلّلِ
O, friend, just look up to that lightening flashes the light
Is it not similar to hand waves through a cloudy night?
71- يضِيءُ سَنَاهُ أَوْ مَصَابِيحُ راهِبٍ أَمَالَ السَّلِيطَ بالذُّبَالِ الُمُفَتَّلِ
Its gleam as a lantern of monk distantly throws the light
If the monk adjusted it down the wick will flame upright
72- قَعَدْتُ لَهُ وَصُحْبَتي بَيْنَ ضَارِجٍ وَبَيْنَ الْعُذَيْبِ بَعْدَ مَا مُتَأَمَّلي
From a distant place I looked up to that flashing cloud
Fellows with me to see an image got up flashing round
Here in this image of looking up to the clouds while just breaking up a lightning, the poet could imagine that lightnings while smelling the rain smell are being too close but indeed are distantly flashing and gathering all sides to rain.
73- على قَطَن بالشَّيْم أيْمنُ صَوْتهِ وَأَيْسَرُهُ على الْسِّتَارِ فَيُذْبُلِ
Clouds methinks! Topped (Katn) at right side
While (Yathbul) has been on left side to guide
(These between brackets are names of mountains in Mecca.)
74- فَأَضْحَى يَسُحُّ الْماءَ حوْلَ كُتَفْيَهٍ يَكُبُّ على الأذْقانِ دَوْجَ الكَنَهْبَلِ
A torrential rain poured on these mountains at that day
Still came down until a flood drifted big trees on its way
Here in verse above the poet mentioned a word (chins) of course chins of men but the meaning is just a metaphor, the poet transferring on referring to trees or indeed the shrubs that mainly planted on desert which are mostly thick growing like the chin. Here the poet referred to such trees are big, it maybe also a metaphor referring to the abundant rains.
75- وَمَرَّ على الْقَنّانِ مِنْ نَفَيَانِهِ فَأَنْزَلَ منْه العُصْمَ من كلّ منزِلِ
The rain still heavily poured on (Qinan) mountain.
Until all ibexes ran away from their cavern
76- وَتَيْماءَ لَمْ يَتْرُكْ بها جِذْعَ نَخْلَةٍ وَلا أُطُماً إِلا مَشِيداً بِجَنْدَلِ
(Tymma) also had been much rained and I want to mention
No palm trees, no buildings remain except those of firm construction.
77- كَأَنَّ ثَبيراً فِي عَرانِينِ وَبْلهِ كَبيرُ أْنَاسٍ فِي بِجَاد مُزَمَّلِ
(Thabber) mountain firstly had its lot of a heavy rain
As a tribe's chief cloaked with fancy attire among men
In above verses the poet makes a certain mountain as it named above likely as a chief of tribe who always the advantages will go to him.
78- كَأَنَّ ذُرَى رَأْسِ الُمجَيْمِرِ غُدْوَةً من السَّيْلِ وَالأَغْثَاءِ فَلْكَهُ مِغْزلِ
The peak of al- Mujemer hill is like the spindle's roller
As far as the flood pushed logs and scum to its center.
Here a good image the poet has to resemble a certain hill that its name above mentioned to be alike the spindle on its middle due to the much logs and scum carried by flooding water to its middle position.

79- وَألْقَى بصَحراءِ الْغَبيطِ بَعاعَهُ نزُولَ اليماني ذي العِيابِ المحمَّلِ
Chabeet desert then heavily has been fertile so mainly rained
As a Yemeni merchant who has plenty goods to be displayed
Still the images one follows another; the last one above carries an image of a certain deserted land as its name mentioned on the beginning above that turns flourishing after it has been rained by much rain. Likely, a merchant of ancient time came to Arab dwelling places riding on donkey back however to displacing his goods and that is especially on welfare years. The abundant rain is contrasting with the displaying goods of the Yemeni merchant.

80- كَأَنَّ مَكاكّي الجِواءِ غُدَيَّةً صُبِحْنَ سُلافاً من رَحيقٍ مُفَلْفَلِ
Birds there turned as if were drunk on an acrid wine
Seeing the rain, they sang cheerfully and so much fine.
Here poet has mentioned a type of bird it has never a name nowadays or changed for another name but it is a type of sparrows but larger. The general name is a desert bird
.
81- كانَّ الْسِّباعَ فِيهِ غَرْقَى عَشِيَّةً بِأَرْجَائِهِ الْقُصْوَى أَنَابِيشُ عُنْصُلِ
The beast of prey as far as by rain and mud drown,
At that evening, they turned like spotted wild onion.
This type of wild plants always when heavy rain comes down it will be spotted by mud, and then the poet used it for similarity between the images of wild animals living in desert and this type of plant. ]]> Mohammad Ahmad https://www.online-literature.com/forums/entry.php?15194-Translating-a-very-significant-collection-Arab-poem-(-Mu-lka-Umru-al-Qais-)-part-2 <![CDATA[Translating a very significant collection Arab poem ( Mu'lka Umru' al-Qais )- part 1]]> https://www.online-literature.com/forums/entry.php?15193-Translating-a-very-significant-collection-Arab-poem-(-Mu-lka-Umru-al-Qais-)-part-1 Wed, 18 Jan 2017 14:06:14 GMT Translating the poem of Umru' al- Qais
Let’s halt by a lover ruin

This poem is one of the seventh or tenth poems, which so far called al-Mu'lakat, the poems which had been hanged over al-Kaaba walls, as they were the good selected poems of the ancient certain period a time of pre-Islam advent

Pre Islam period i.e. the pagan period
Translated to English by
Mohammad Ahmad
Iraq – Mosul

Reading and review onto the poem
Introduction
This poet as other poets of pre-Islam period i.e." the Pagan period" who ever their traditional ways while poetizing poetry is to start their poems by mentioning and stopping nearby lover dwelling ruins and this usually we give name the erotic poetry.
He said in the first line; please stay with me referring to his fellow or his herdsman to cry upon lover's dwelling and remnants, which it is situated in Mecca desert in the large Arabian Desert
However, the preface is, he proceeded on his scrupulous description, the body and the behavior of the woman in general. He did not leave anything for discussion unless he described even the shameful part of the woman. Notice the verse (17) what had he said! Of course, it is a vulgar and a shameful thing to be translated.
Subsequently, he turned to describe his horse and indeed, he lengthily described it as an excellent description, on which it is swift horse, slim, strong, and it has straight tail that is usually on the middle- position, its legs, and its forehead, etc...
Then he followed on his description to describe hunts and even to compare between the horse speed and the hurried wild animals that he chased at desert.
At the end, he changed his manner to describe the rainy clouds that heavily pour rain so that to wet the ground then the desert should be flourished, and how the flood swept everything on its way even the buildings and animals, then the poet symbolized the hills' peak as if the middle of the spindle which contains the wool.
It is indeed a good poem since it has a good utterance, abundant of meanings, eloquent in letter and sprit as well as all collections of the pre-Islamic period poems had the same characteristics.
What could we extract from this poem?
1- The tribal societies on that time did not prohibit something such as wine, adultery, and theft, moreover they worshiped the idols but when Islam came, it recovered them as well as purified their souls.
2- They are strong men, bold men, generous men, and they have good qualifications on battlefields and war affairs.
3- They are kind to their neighbours and the one who asks their shelter, they ever have to protect him.
4- The immorality verses often seen in their poems on which I referred to as an example above I mentioned
The translation
1- قَفَاَ نَبْكِ مِنْ ذِكُرَى حَبِيبٍ وَمَنْزِلِ بِسِقْطِ اللِّوَى بَيْنَ الدَّخُولِ فَحَوْ مَلِ
Let’s by Dokhol and Hwmal for a while halt to weep
Where beloved abode there piling up with sands deep
Dokhol and Homal are places names and his lover abode there turned just a vacant place filling up to be piles of sands as much as winds blow and sweeping sands, however the trail of that beloved dwelling still can be seen after her tribe decamped to another place. The ruin is just mud and stones as they used to build a wall of one foot and half height around the tent, however, to prevent flood not come inside. Arab of that ancient time hardly have homes as now.

2- فَتُوِضحَ فَاْلِمقْرَاةِ لَمْ يَعْفُ رَسْمُهَا لِمَا نَسَجَتْهَا مِنْ جَنُوبٍ وَشَمْأَلِ
Twathah so Migrat Trail didn't by far obliterate
As far as blown by many winds yet showing erect
(Migrat, Twathah are names of places one nearby another)
The meanings here that the remnants of a lover who her family abandoned their place going to search for places of water and grasses however to pasture their herds.
Some remnants they left behind like the places of making fire and the dung of their animals still visible for many years. However, sweeping by winds that come from north and while this wind sweeping something the other wind, which comes from south, will do the opposite since it gathering back those pushing out sands to return for first place and thus the ruin will keep on its apparent shape.

3- تَرى بَعَرَ الآرْآمِ فِي عَرَضَاتِها وقِيعانِها كَأَنَّهُ حَبُّ فُلْفُلِ
You can see great deal of dung remains of the white deer
Therefore, the place appears as if seeds of pepper scattered there
4- كَأَنِّي غَدَاةَ الْبَيْنِ يَوْمَ تَحَمَّلُوا لَدَى سَمُراتِ الَحْيِّ نَاقِف حَنْظَلِ
I passed by acacia shrubs from which at noon they decamped
A day I was as if peeling off colocynth seeds so much was timid
Here the poet described how he came upon the place where his lovers gathering their stuffs and traveling away to find the place is just vacant place and only those shrubs of acacia they left behind. Here again he symbolizes one tortured-self after departing lovers as if someone trying peeling off colocynth as he wants to get the seeds out. It is of course an image describing the moment of sadness and the extremist of one lose patience

5- وُقُوفاً بِهَا صَحْبي عَلَيَّ مَطِيَّهُمْ يقُولُونَ: لا تَهلِكْ أَسىً وَتَجَمَّلِ
Along with equestrians fellows to the ruins should halt
Saying, be self-possessed or you should die, no doubt
6- وإِنَّ شِفَائِي عَبْرَةٌ مُهْراقَةٌ فَهَلْ عِنْدَ رَسْمٍ دَارِسٍ مِنْ مُعَوَّلِ
My misery is a shedding tear where to ruins I call
Is not there a mattock perhaps burying my soul?
7- كَدَأْبِكَ مِنْ أُمِّ الْحَويرِثِ قَبْلَها وَجَارَتِها أُمِّ الرِّبابِ بِمَأْسَلِ
Fallen in love with this woman had been in torture
Like love, you had it, with Um- Harth and her neighbor
8- إِذَا قَامَتا تَضَوَّعَ المِسْكُ مِنْهُمَا نَسِيمَ الْصِّبَا جَاءَتْ بِرَيَّا الْقَرَنْفُلِ
When they stood up, the musk by scent would full of the home
Like the north breeze while bringing the carnation perfume.
9- فَفَاضَتْ دُمُوعُ الْعَيْنِ مِنِّي صَبَابَةً عَلى الْنَّحْرِ حَتَّى بَلَّ دَمْعِي محْمَليِ
Then my tears over my neck ardently having spilt
Still shedding down until flooding my sword-belt
10 -أَلا رُبَّ يَوْمٍ لَكَ مِنْهُنَّ صَالِحٍ وَلا سِيمَّا يَوْمٍ بِدَارَةِ جُلْجُلِ
If only a happiest moment with women as I spent early
Like a Juljul Day, I wish my days came back happily
Junjul is a name of day the poet mentioned or it maybe a name of certain brook where women watering to their families while took chat there.

11- وَيَوْمَ عَقَرْتُ لِلْعَذَارَى مَطِيِّتي فَيَا عَجَباً مِنْ كُورِهَا الُمتَحَمَّلِ
The day, I slaughtered my camel for the maidens to eat.
Oh! How much its back is fleshy overall a fresh meat?
12-فَظَلَّ الْعَذَارَى يَرْتِمَينَ بِلَحْمِهَا وَشَحْمٍ كهُدَّابِ الدِّمَقْسِ الُمَفَّتلِ
The maidens still enjoy on eating that fleshy camel's back.
Besides it contains twisted white fat likes the silken damask.
13- وَيَوْمَ دَخَلْتُ الْخِدْرِ خَدْرَ عُنَيْزَةٍ فَقَالَتْ لَكَ الْوَيْلاتُ إِنَّكَ مُرْجِلي
The day I entered a howdah of Unaiza intentionally
She said woe Guy; you will dismount me, be carefully!
He entered her howdah to make the adultery with her
14- تَقُولُ وَقَدْ مَالَ الْغَبِيط بِنَا مَعاً عَقَرْتَ بَعيري يَا امْرأَ القَيْسِ فَانْزِلِ
When she saw her howdah turned over and became upset,
She shouted, please Man debark! my camel cannot tolerate.
15- فَقُلْتُ لَهَا سِيري وأرْخِي زِمَامَهُ وَلا تُبْعِدِيني مِنْ جَنَاكِ اُلْمعَلَّلِ
I told her "go ahead and loose the camel rein'.
And not to forbid me from yours lovely pain
16- فَمِثْلِكِ حُبْلَى قَدْ طَرَقْتُ وَمُرْضِعٍ فَأَلهيْتُهَا عَنْ ذِي تَمائِمَ مُحْوِلِ
With a pregnant woman like you, I did with a joyful fun.
I did with her a love relation until she neglects her son.
17- إِذا ما بَكى مَنْ خَلْفِها انْصَرَفَتْ لهُ بِشِقٍّ وَتحْتي شِقّها لم يُحَوَّلِ
If her child cries, she turns to him her upper part carelessly.
Then she leaves her middle part to my ever desire willingly.
This is the most vulgar verse to describe
18- وَيَوْماً على ظَهْرِ الْكَثيبِ تَعَذَّرَتْ عَليَّ وَآلَتْ حَلْفَةً لم تَحَلَّلِ
One day at a sandhill peak for my desire, she refused
And she swore that such sexual relation I forebode
19- أَفاطِمَ مَهْلاً بَعْضَ هذا التَّدَلّلِ وَإِن كنتِ قد أَزْمعْتِ صَرْمي فأَجْمِلي
O, Fatima! Please be ease, lessen some of this coquetry
And if you want abandoning me; take the matter wisely
20- أغَرَّكِ منِّي أن حبَّكِ قاتِلي وَأَنَّكِ مهما تأْمري الْقلبَ يَفْعَلِ
Do you feel bothering that your love is my killer?
And my heart follows you as an obedient lover!
21- وَإِنْ تَكُ قد ساء تك مِني خَليقةٌ فسُلِّي ثيابي من ثيابِكِ تَنْسُلِ
If something on me, disturb you and you are mistrust
Please regard 'we are soul to soul as an integral part'
Here the poet does not mean that had the same attire as he requested her to draw one's clothes from another to see if they were estimated on one texture or not, it does mean either their social rank is equal, or it is a rhetorical meaning that they are one soul.
22- وَما ذَرَفَتْ عَيْناكِ إِلا لِتضرِبي بِسَهْمَيْكِ في أَعْشارِ قلْبٍ مُقَتَّلِ
Your eyes did not shed tears but to strike deeply
As far as throwing arrows, my heart was torn surly
23- وَبَيْضةِ خِدْرٍ لا يُرامُ خِباؤُها تَمتَّعْتُ من لَهْوٍ بها غيرَ مُعجَلِ
I wish I enjoyed unhasty love with a white woman one day.
Like one stayed in bed, as a hatcher bird did not fly away.
24- تجاوَزتُ أَحْراساً إِلَيْها وَمَعْشراً علّي حِراصاً لَوْ يسرُّونَ مقتَلي
I have passed behind her guards and her Kinsmen.
Of course, they would kill me soon, if I were seen.
25- إِذا ما الثّرَيَّا في السَّماءِ تَعَرَّضَتْ تَعَرُّضَ أَثْناءِ الْوِشاحِ الُمفَصَّلِ
If the Chandeliers amidst other stars on the sky appeared,
Her jewelled-embroidered scarf is similar as she displayed

I came to her while she took off her dresses to sleep.
Naked body but only her underwear shirts may keep
27- فقالتْ: يَمينَ اللهِ مالكَ حِيلَةٌ ..وَما إِنْ أَرى عنكَ الغَوايةَ تَنْجلي

I don't worship what you worship

Simply this sura of Quran clearly told us and yet tells us that we the Muslims have our way and those unbelievers having their way and we may not argue more and keep sincerely in what the verse advised.
The Quran is the last Book of all Books come down to earth and it comes after Torah and Angel to improving them.
If this book is a violent book, this does mean that all books are violent because they came down from one sender the Allah of course. And we the Muslims believe on the all Books as well Quran.

Quoted of you
'true Islam' than Muslims who cut animals' throats without stunning beforehand
Cutting animal's throats all do that Muslims and non-Muslims the Christians, the Jews but to stun or not to stun this due to hearts, some people can't slaughter even a hen whether he is Muslim or not Muslim.
You go out of the discussed matter, which we deal with.
Here your comment reminds me to those who cut the throat of humans even a Muslim who yet lived among them just because he did not obey them or refusing their new doctrine.
Those who indeed are Khawarij as you referred, those who are widely different from us the rest Muslims who yet do not accept on one's suiciding among people considering it something is forbidden on Islam.
I challenge you if you can prove any Iraqi Muslim among Sunni men thinks one day or else committing a self-explosion crime among people.
The feature of suiciding oneself is only seen among (the Salafi- or the Wahabis – doctrine.
Those Wahabis having variant doctrine among all Sunni Muslims and hardly can accept on any religious way.
We the Mosul citizens dislike them and we want this day shall be get ridding from them before tomorrow.
-----
Let's us for a while far away of discussion on religion and which one is right and which one is not right.
Why US stick on a good relation with Saudi Arabia while the last one is the ever home of the extremist Muslims- the Wahabis – the much who come to Iraq suiciding- themselves among civilian Iraqis are of those.
This will point out that Saudi Arabia is supporting those ISIS groups, however; it seeks for that in order to tumble down the regime of Bashar-al Saad in Syria.
Look how we return to the politics because I know it is not issue of religion but it takes from a religion an attire or a mask to make people satisfied so it can successfully pass its experiment to gain the far away purpose which it can't easily achieved.
For long time and yet there is a movement of struggle sometimes it is hidden and sometimes it flows over the surface unveiling the strategy of confliction between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
Therefore Saudi king and his leaderships supporting ISIS on Iraq and Syria because of one thing which it is; to limit the Shiite movement not to expand on the Arabia region and indeed the Saudis fear its aftermaths on their land.
One the other hand Saudi itself also fears from those extremists ISIS so it wanting them going out of its borders committing their crimes to save its land.
Now Saudi does its crime on Yemen and the story is known to all as a struggle between Sunni and Shiite.
I am Sunni but I disgust the entire extremist manner of any religion's sects and this is our nature since we born.
Second matter your aroused that Umar the caliph wanting kill Mohammad!
Whereto have you brought this fact!
I am sixty years over yet I don't hear this story, it maybe that Umar trying killing Mohammad before Umar was Muslim.
Like this story you brought already there is real stories we heard mostly at the pagan period like Hind a woman who sent her slave who is a well-throwing spears and cutting Hamza's liver (the uncle of Mohammad) to be eaten by Hind however to revenge on her murdered war- incidents father and brother as well as her uncle.
After Hind embraced the Islam, Mohammad forgave her. ]]> Mohammad Ahmad https://www.online-literature.com/forums/entry.php?15095-Muslims-affairs My biography https://www.online-literature.com/forums/entry.php?15036-My-biography Tue, 01 Dec 2015 11:13:31 GMT Of course I had a rural origin, have finished my primary school at a village nearer to ours about fifty Kilometers in the northern part of Mosul city... Of course I had a rural origin, have finished my primary school at a village nearer to ours about fifty Kilometers in the northern part of Mosul city on the left part of Tigris River towering over it as if this River is its own.
There I had learned the swimming in the first period of youth ages.
I didn't forget the day when our teacher of English put us at an unexpected exam and those who are my classmates -who are all larger than me-all of them failed in the exam and only me was succeeded then they tried beating and kicking me when we on feet returned home after our lessons had over.
Another day yet I do not forget, when we were in the second – class year of intermediate stage, we had the English lesson and our teacher who is Christian got a mistake on a grammar then I suddenly jumped saying " my teacher you are wrong" he replied " can you correct it?" I said yes, then from that time all of the grammar exercises I had to answer onto the blackboard and who passed by the class did not recognize who is the real teacher, of course, I felt as if I had an unforgiving fault! But the teacher went to the headmaster and told him that he had a very excellent student and turning as my friend from that time.
Indeed my aim in that time was not planning to be a teacher of English or to study the medicine but my aim was to be a pilot.
After finishing the secondary school I prepared my applications to be a pilot but I failed into the examination because of something was not acceptable on the qualifications, that I had a bad ear as they wrote on their notices.
Indeed I turned frustrated and sad and because of my father lowest livelihood, I completed my study on a medical institute – two years after the secondary school then graduated,
Lastly I have finished the study on translation – college of art.

Allah Almighty said in many verses of Quran:
((Who will adopt any religion other than Islam; rightly, he is one of those underdogs))
((The real religion to Allah is the Islam))
Now if we shut any door out of any religious doctrine and keep slightly watching any political practicing whether on west or east, do we find anything related to true religion? I think not because all of politicians work to their behalf whether to the sake of their own behalf such as their parties or their groups, or in anyway to the behalf of their Nations.
Yes I would like to shed a shadow of light into these complexities which almost people- the mob considering these conflicts rising around the world is due to the relations that are in way or other is related to the variant of religious considerations.
It is permanently and definitely not so since the Jews may have another way is far away different; and in all of their consideration will look for the reason that comes out of the ancient time, which obtain through reasoning the duration of Suleiman- the prophet. In addition, always should claim that they have the priority, as they were the selective nation of God.
If really they were the selective nation of God, they would have to forgive at once after Forty Years of Straying and misguiding in the earth after Moses examining them whether they are righteous or not in a story will take many parts of any research if I ought to follow.
Because of their stubborn manner, Allah had to punish them. Then they had been strayed in the desert of Sinai the period of Forty Years knowing not is it a day or night, and the man who, however, tried to go outside of his place should return to the same starting point as if he goes in a vicious circle. This is the punishment, which all Sacred Books mentioned it, has neither for Christians nor for Muslims.
Retuning to the way of policy, which it is almost, described as a point of a debate and farther disputation as its twin point – the argument that still had to be rising between religious doctrines, which one is the better and which is not the better.
Allah is the One Creator and who worth worshiping to Jews, to Christians, and by Muslims and all Allah's Books come down to Earth at the tongue of Him and through a Messenger or a Vision.
Moses, Jesus and Mohammad all of them are Prophets and coming to illuminate thoughts of people saving them from worshiping pagans as well as to purify people souls so that can be get ridding of their sins, however, to still make the Earth living in peace out of disasters ,ordeals and disgrace.
All of them are both Prophet and Messenger since how they have the same Allah's order and Will but Allah as he said in a verse of Koran:
(We had to estimate virtues between prophets) i.e. there is a superlative degree among prophets, since most of them are not Messengers but just Prophets but it is an issue for Allah only.
As we believe that Mohammad is a Prophet who Allah sent him to us, we must believe that Jesus is also a Prophet as well as other Prophets. However, when we obliviously have considered the stages that one followed one, we have to directly release out our thoughts and our minds to the point why Allah sent all these Prophets and Messengers, it is because of nothing? Thus we ask and ask till we could recognize the reason why Allah sent all those Prophets. Is it impossible to send one prophet in one time- any certain time to the entire world?
Then the whole human will speak the same language and no any Semite language or Indo-European, thus there are reasons and there is a Will, because Allah described this matter also in Korean when He said:
((We create you nations and tribes in order to recognize one another, but the whole devoted to Allah is the most one dedicating his time in religiosity))
Yes that had come to the ground which ever has had a sin and debate for things everyone had to know by mind and just looking carefully to the skies how had been built and to sun and to the seas and to multiple sources of foods, which Allah the Merciful bless it to human.
I think we have had the time to install our souls for the good opportunity that we could meet each other.
I think the debate will be not excellent since there are politicians still confiscated on people rights and blood.
As we are a nation, everywhere a nation, we must have had the ladder to force those rulers and dissenters where had to put feet. Now I just deduce that the difference between states and countries is not due to any religious source but it is inherited to the aim of politics -men, men or leaders of the world who crazily ascended on their thrones frankly are the reason of all troubles and wars that damaged both earth and human.

If we look carefully and study the history we will discover something isn't right or changing upside in America's plan in what overall history America has declared..
When America invaded Iraq in 1991 then followed in 2003 the cover of its military campaign is to discarding out the Saddam regime under some allegations that Saddam himself is directly connected with Al Qaeda-the time when never there is group of terrorists at least in Iraq and as American investigations this will threat the interests of America in the region but now after removing the Saddam regime we see the opposite since Al Qaeda which ISIS is a part of it filling up most parts of Iraq and Syria and sweeping out most of the governmental military that America helped to find after the occupation.
I can't help myself to find out what is this duality or duplicity in America policy because till now and after two years of ISIS occupation to most parts of Iraq we hardly can see a noticeable response against terrorism which America sets up a wide campaign against it but still poor enough against any advantages.
It is likely that America has two hands one hand is a true hand and the other is a false hand.
America when came and invaded Iraq its aircraft bombed Iraq more than 900 attacks per a day while now the attacking number has been decreased in both Syria and Iraq for 11 and this is enough for more bringing suspicions.

In Thursday 12 march, I went to the market to buy something I need; I saw a large gathering of people in the middle square of the city keeping amazing on silence waiting something might accidentally happen. They were craning their necks perhaps to see exactly what a decision will be executed.
The ISIS gangs were present going spreading many of their guards, who always wearing the black attires, to be close surrounding the area and some of them were climbing the walls of the mosque that has been erected there.
I suddenly passed by the place but from the first glance I looked to the place I was being sure that they have come to do the Islamic execution on someone.
Indeed, four poor men have been brought to be sentenced and not one. From a small gape between the thronged gathering people I hardly noticed the big curved sword when it came down cutting one's head, but I didn't see the cutting head because I myself not desired to see that disgusting manner and it is by all of my sense has been rejected to follow.
Whom should I blame? Do I blame the Islam religion? Do I blame the world? Do I blame the history to see those savage and evil gangs ruling by the name of Islam? Do I blame myself because I suddenly came and noticed what has been acted?
After the sentence truly has been executed and people witnessed many shouts have been risen out and all of the attendants repeated in one voice "Allah is the Great".
OK Allah is the great but by force, they said that!
Is it a credible matter that I am witnessed?
Of course, there is no worse description than to see by your naked eyes that an incredible thing is to be done additionally not secretly but in the broad of daylight.
Damn is to those savage, to those animals, to those cutthroats, to those ruthless murderers.
I do not know how to discuss the matter more; I might blame myself because I wrote these lines because by any means of my usual writing I do not find something can forgive this crime.
However, it maybe in the ancient time was applicable but now and front people eyes in the street, it is very unfamiliar to do and has been rejected by all civilized people.
Now what to do, I might ask all people whether in East or West to cooperate altogether in one way which it is to diminish those savage out and to shut all of the doors against them, because if they become enlarged they will undoubtedly destroy the world.
Other thing I want reminding and revealing about that those youths who often forcedly or willingly attend and witness such crimes of heads- cutting will no longer convert criminals as those because gradually they will be turned merciless hearts.
I might urge people everywhere and governments everywhere in the world to be cautioned and to take true procedures against this danger and if not this feature will be generalized seen then the delay will be not useful.
Of course, I am Muslim but I am not like those nor the majority of Sunni sect are alike even if those criminal people claimed that themselves are Sunni and their aim is to helping the Sunni sect in Iraq but they are far away from the Islam belief and are considered the very danger to Iraq and the region.
However and according to their pretensions, which based on to make this sect free from the oppression of Shiite, but they are in wrong because their acts anyhow prove the opposite and they are just an additional burden comes to Sunni sect in one hand and there are not enough critical problems between Sunni and Shiite on the other hand.
Both Sunni and Shiite live in a full good relation and a real partnership from the ancient time and never the history approved that there is anyhow hostility.
Those firstly come to dismantle the cohesive interrelationship of Islam and secondly to destroy the Islamic relationship with the entire world.
Of course they are the ever danger which still threatening the world and the humanity everywhere and people any people must from now understand that the method of treating, morality, the personal behaviour of those by any means are not related to the Islam in general but to themselves only.
Most of their crimes:
1- They intentionally and openly destroyed our priceless historical culture as what they did by Nineveh ancient monuments in Nimrod when flattened the place to the ground.
2- They intentionally making homeless to wide range of people, destroying their houses, seizing on their money and their prosperities, capturing on their wives and their sons killing great deal of them under their unlawful Islamic legislation as especially what they did with the Yazidi sect and when forcing the Christian to go away from their birthplace Mosul.
3- They prevent people from smoking putting penalty to have one cigarette is either to pay five dollars or to have a month jailing.
4- They killed many physicians claiming that those physicians are not helpful with them.
5- No day will be passed unless they commit more than one crime either to force rich people for paying undesired tribute or to make any pretext for someone they are disagreeing on him to imprison him or killing him.
6- There is a bottomless place outside the city and whomever they are disagreed on him, they throw him down while still alive in that place.
The very savage people neither Holacho is like them or any other Mongolian, a ruthless people you never can do any discussion with them.
If I had seen the Satan itself, I would never hate him; rather I hate those because they are devilish more than Satan is.
Again, I would ask Obama and the American administration why still silent; moreover our military though the last process of releasing Tikret finding out documents that America sure has been supporting those by some technical equipments like thermal-cameras which helped those gangs to easy attack our military bases. ]]> Mohammad Ahmad https://www.online-literature.com/forums/entry.php?14897-Why-does-the-entire-world-not-cooperate-to-fight-those Who is the infidel? https://www.online-literature.com/forums/entry.php?13657-Who-is-the-infidel Sun, 01 Feb 2015 07:34:39 GMT

However, the aggressive soul that we are accustomed to noticing its features among those classes is not particularly the only feature of the injustice and oppression that can be seen in Iraq society whether it has been grown up on rural areas or in towns.
Everyday it has a new aggressive feature, with every a newborn of politic entity there is a recently aggressive feature.
It is more than ordinary to see the Majesty President or the Majesty Prime Minister or any sublime characters in the government- body would steal money transferring it for abroad banks even if their salaries are too high to be counted.
It is the modern disease that has been transmitted though our history-shining doors, but by mistaken and debased ways, the history of our grandfathers that has been distorted and falsified by those.
Now if you decide trying on asking a question to those who calling themselves the Islamic State:
Why do they prevent the student who traveling in order to gain the doctorate or master from Europe or America?
They will mistakenly pretend that this student will go to the infidel states! Don't they hear the Hadith of Prophet Mohammad?
When, peace and mercy of Allah is upon him, said:
"Go over science even if it is in China."
It means to follow science ways so that to gain progress how far the place is.
Do they know in religion more than the prophet knows?
Is China on that time being subjected to the Islamic rules of Mecca?
It is apparently noticed that there is no any justice will be seen in Iraq and each one of those will be converted to the worst infidel in the earth.
Other thing they claimed that doing a celebration in honour of Messenger Mohammad's birthday -peace and mercy of Allah is upon him- is wrong, because this is similar to Christian's habit of Jesus' birthday celebration.
If the Christians do that, they are on right because this celebration is not a part of worship, but it is just to spread happiness among people.
Which one is better the gloomy face or the happy face?
I do not know why they forbid the celebration of this Islamic anniversary!
Our children used to distribute sweet foods on this occasion so that to spread the happiness among people as well as to give the Prophet's birthday something of honour and consideration, but alas those ISIS groups do not respect any feature of humanity or even the Islamic correct rules.
Let them going astray as far as they can but I think that in the last no one will be believer or stay a devotee for them.
Those ISIS groups are indeed the successors of the dissenters who in the time of 'Ali ibn Abi Talib' – may God is pleased on him- rebelled in the occasion of arbitration falsely rising up Korans over their javelins to make sure for the devoted Caliph that they were on right.
Their faces, their behaviours do not reflex any feature of a real Islam since they using the excessive force so that hating people to accept on their rules, thus people dislike their opinions or the Sharia of Islam they claimed.
I think and have more to think that even those who hatefully embraced in Islam will no longer draw back.
The matter of satisfying people is not by force at all and it is never of Islam way of advising people.
Islam came out to liberate people from the dark thoughts and from slavery depending on advice and illuminating people minds by applying provable facts that widely have been taken from Glory Koran.
ISIS groups have never proved out the essence of the true Islam, and the essence of Islam itself has been actually absent on their mind and always you can notice the contradiction on their styles.
For instance, they intentionally enslaved people as what they did in Sinjar region for the Yazidi-Sect once when forcedly entered their region stealing their money, their stuffs, devastating their homes, taking by force their wives and their daughters to be publicly sold in the market of slaves selling.

Three dogs (A, B, and F) decided to go for hunting, the senior dog said to his fellows, I am the biggest dog, and you might obey me in whatsoever I tell or order.
The three follows dogs went through the desert from north to south and from east to west, searching each valley they passed by if there was a bit hunt to eat.
When they felt fatigued, they stayed for a while to take a rest under a big tree overlooking on two small hills and began to discuss the difficulties of each one life.
The biggest dog was the first one to begin his story.
O, fellows B and F, I am on a real imperialistic self-identification I find myself was arranged to, I met many people everywhere face to face who said this to me.
I fell rather happy when they don't look disgustedly to me by their spyglass then I fell that I am eaten by the time and my age will be shortened and probably I will be chased by the misery everywhere to go.
The dog B, slightly going into coughing, telling the big dog and said:
You are bravo to do this all time alone even the smallest dogs you own, do not try to help you!
You are already had been chosen to this hard task.
You are indeed the leader who we need not only in our present time but also in our future.
The F dog also approved the way to speak and began to talk although it has an obvious stuttering into his speech, but he continued and said:
You are our bigger leader who taught us how to hunt and how to be alive in this undomesticated life.
Sir, to the big dog, the F dog turned on speech!
Don't you have Sir a young girl to engage with?
The big A, goes in speech as if it has a whooping- cough!
Yes, indeed, I had, but she neither married nor engaged!
Is she a widow Sir?
Or she is still spinster!
No, no indeed she is not a widow but she hates marriage, she preferred to live alone and always she is the most darling in our society.
What's her name Sir?
Why do you always ask a silly question?
Does she have not a name?
Indeed, it had, but we dislike calling her into her common name, but we rather call her the ES-J.
Can she speak fluently like us in dogs' language?
Yes, she can, but she offered to herself another language, it can't be easily understood only within her society.
You said it had society Sir. The B and F dogs slightly turned over on their stretched too long sofa.
Yes, it will examine her society in the beginning of each year and it may ask the church- owner for a sympathetic thing she likes to do!
I don't know why this a dog female deals with all these unconcern things to bring together deliciously all things to be united in a one matrix.
It is very serious to work and to do!
The big dog exclaimed!
It is not a dog female, it is rather princess and it has a golden throne!
She is my daughter, the daughter of her father, the Big Dog -A, you know, who is still strong as you see.
Indeed Sir you deserve this daughter.
Both B and F dogs replied in a faint voice.
The A dog being angry and somehow roaring into both faces looking around to see his response!
I am into thy speech more resentful and you may not sit near my round table, I might banish you if you don’t respect her!
There is a bit of silence as if a shadow of eagle comes down!
You must obey and hear my story…The dog A confirms…
I was born inside the jungles, I am not an ordinary dog, and indeed, I am a lion.
One day a Russian lion comes to the Mississippi -River around land and married with my mother.
Thus, we see a fur covered your ears!
The F dog, in slight bantering was crabbing to complete the verse.
I am proud if I had a European mother and a Russian father, this will make me jumping in rejoicing.
When the three fellows felt discouraged and frustrated to continue on hunting, they decided to build a new society in the Middle East; therefore, they need to find a group of dogs to consulting with them and for additional concreting advice.
So that they decided to go for Egypt and the rest countries of Arabia-West, otherwise they send another dispatcher to meet the dogs in the Gulf region, however to find assistance and gathering voices helping to establish the new society.
They pretend that the new society will ever keeps the dogs' rights in the different communities.
As they work so, many troubles arise on their way since there is another society is going to see the light, thus they need a jackal to do applicable translation is suitable to their allegations to be a truthful idea on the eyes of people.
The jackal came and found the mission is to hard to be achieved, thus he claims that the region still dark and needs additional lamps and lanterns since the way must be illuminated as far as people see.
The first prerequisite he suggested that F and B must be arrogated their tails are of A borrowed and to be quite sure F and B must go on propagating a new offspring, and the coming generations should be always without tails.
Otherwise, F and B must had a bed three nights with the biggest dog A, then the new society will be attended by his darling the ES-J whose name will be changed in the ceremony, which it is previously has been decided to be held on the last day.
All bugles attend and all horns attend, all men and women as well as all dogs from the Atlantic to the Persian Gulf everywhere come to hear the prelude and the choirs as they were shoving one another to be in the front of the hall.
The carnival ended and the jackal still has another suggestion.
F and B agreed when they saw dogs come scrambling to find a place hardly to be found for one's foot meanwhile many of them still out of the assembly hall whispering and shouting:
Be alive the dog A
Viva is to the dog A
On the other hand, other dogs went away into exclamation feeling in frustration since they had not voices to elect the new dogs' leader of the world. ]]> Mohammad Ahmad https://www.online-literature.com/forums/entry.php?13605-Three-fellow-dogs-A-B-and-F <![CDATA[The very educated Iraqi poetess "Farah Dos"]]> https://www.online-literature.com/forums/entry.php?13589-The-very-educated-Iraqi-poetess-quot-Farah-Dos-quot Sat, 06 Dec 2014 19:04:51 GMT

I was familiar with her writings when I was suddenly surfing on the skies of Internet; there I noticed her noticeable name was published in many of biggest forums and websites.
I would apologize not to her only but rather to the busy time I have had, which consumed all of my ability, as well as the general troubles, which come latter to our society.
A woman of word and verse:

Really I felt myself was admired on her and on her poetry, the poetry of a woman, which never have we had since centuries.
As I heard or read that she was approved of to be a student on the college of medicine, but some domestic troubles stand against her not to complete her study and rather she went on writing from that time.
A woman of prestige might not be neglected:
She is familiar when to begin and when to stop, furthermore she is very experienced into how shining, revising, and moreover versifying her poems to be into a glimmering atmosphere, illuminating the dark place covered the datum around.
This shining style of writing is less acquainted to many poets, thus the verse can be read into two different ways.
What can I say more?
It is likely to say or asking a question, why do most poets have never been acquainted by people but only after their death.
Thus, I prefer to write a biography of such poet while he is still alive and for this reason, I am going to translate some of her poems.
Cheers until satisfaction is to her!

Translating the poem

I can't be present \ Farah Dos

In spite of my insistent temper,
I can't be present
When I am on visiting to thee;
Something spurs me the whishing for birth,
for a child yet I don't bear …
He watches my room!
When it disclaims to my bed—
and the sparrow I want in my imagination—
when it denies to my dresses that revealing your perfume
A child by its feeble hands gathers my things,
To be a firewood, as he toys with
What a horror is it that surrounds me?
Once I am being late on visiting you!
Oh, if there was only an advantage!
There is no round table to sit around!
Only a chair and I sat where he points
I am who settling here in the letter dispersal
Bothered to wait for the vacant unoccupied seats
While I am signing on the list of absence,
the drowsiness overcomes on my vitality
It will be never roused by the noisy of asphalt
The child turned old and was going to study
It is similar to a breast its nipple turning for back
The hall and things being stuck on nails
Half of them being naked,
leaving their feet on the bed
When the nightingales chant over the cracking colors,
neither you nor doves will wait me
The place of party likely is as a head of a choked bird
Excuse, if you arrange the presence on its consequence
Or to hold the sessions in the side of masks
The masked-jokers, who are sticky to the picture,
stain the ball by the concept
So that the deaf one will laugh,
as well as the bereaved mother before sleeping…
I can't be present where their statues are erected
Likely are as doll going to cry
And I am between your crazy fingers,
as a kiss of a pop-eyed
Politicians laugh pretending fearing upon us
Cooperating to wash the eye by the raider's rag
Thus, the poet is forgiven because he was absent
---------

أنا القابعة هنا في شتات الحرف
تزعجني المقاعد التي تتسع
I am who settling here in the letter dispersal
Bothered to wait the vacant unoccupied seats

لا أستطيع الحضور / فرح دوسكي

*على الرغم من لجاجتي
" " "
لا استطيعُ الحضور
*وأنا ذاهبةٌ إليكَ
تجرفني رغبة طفل لم انجبه
يراقبُ غرفتي
وهي تتنصلُ عن سريري وعصفور مخيلتي
تتنصلُ عن فساتيني التي تشي برائحتك..
طفلٌ بيديه الواهنتين يحطبُ اشيائي
يا له من رعبٍ يؤخرني عنك َ
آآآآه ....لو ثمة نافذة..
ليس ثمة طاولة*
لكنه الكرسي، جلستْ حيثُ أشار
أنا القابعة هنا في شتات الحرف
تزعجني المقاعد التي تتسع
وانا أوقعُ على الغيابِ ثم انقلبَ..
النعاسُ حيويتي*
لا يوقظهُ ضجيجَ الإسفلت
الطفلُ بات كهلا وهو ذاهبٌ إلى الدرسِ
كنهد... حلمِتهُ للوراءِ..
القاعةُ والأشياءُ تتشبثُ بالمساميرِ
نصفُها عاريةً تركتْ اقدامها في السرير..
حين تشدو البلابلُ على صراخ الالوان*
لـــــ ... أنتَ والحمامُ بانتظاري
المحفلُ سيكون كرأسِ طائرٍ مختنقْ..
*عذراً..
إن علقتُ الحضورَ على المؤخرات ِ
وربطتُ الجلساتِ بخاصرةِ الاقنعة
المُهرِّجونَ المقَنعُونَ من داخل اللوحةِ
يصبغونَ الكرةَ بالفكرةِ
ليضحك الاصمْ والشعور والأم الثكلى قبلَ النوم..
* لا أستطيع...
تحت تماثيلهم، الدميةُ تبكي
وأنا بين اصابعك المجنونةِ قبلةً جاحظةَ العيينين..
*الساسةُ يضحكون خوفًا علينا
فنمسحُ العينَ بخرقةِ الوطنِ المحتل
عذراً ..للشاعرِ في الغياب...

Should it be an intelligence play?

Supposing that America invaded Iraq at 2003 under the pretext of WMD, why does America not invade Iran, which really has WMD?
Supposing it under the pretext of releasing people from tyranny, why does America not go to Syria and releasing Syrians from their dictatorship?
Many questions are ready in each one's mind to ask and if each one will rethink, giving to his mind back in the eye of reality to all incidents and gearing up them respectively, will undoubtedly perceive that something is like a drama repeats its scenes in the same manner or either in a different attire.
Therefore, as I think it is just a real play but it comes in another masked face and the players are the same players.
Why is the truth always being absent?
Why do we conceal the reality about nations?
The worst war never has been happened in the world, is the Bush's War to Iraq at 2003, it stands beyond the direct responsible of what happens in Iraq now, and let me reckon on my views according to these:
1- There were no problems between Sunni and Shiite sects before America occupation to Iraq at 2003, and it is simply to say that both of them fought together against Iran in the war 1980s taking in our consideration that most of Iranian people are Shiites.
2- What is the advantage that Iraq peoples had gained after the occupation?
a-Isn’t a real democracy had been actually achieved?
b- Do we have now a strong army as we had it before the occupation?
c- Does Iraq have its real position inside his neighbouring lands?
d- They just replace new faces in the government
3- What does America indeed want?
Is it the Sykes-Picot Treaty coming again in anew division?
For these notes above I state, I think the IsIs is just a chandler to work in and to reestablish the worst polices again in the region, so that we accuse America to the all failures at least to all of the circumstances having relations to our country.

Well, let me discuss a short view about a period when I was still teenager living in a countryside not far away from the road which connecting between Mosul city and , Dohok city, which it is now considered as a part of Kurdistan territory.
The area is about 50 km northerly to Mosul and exactly situated at the left bank of Tigris River.
There I spent my earlier period of youth playing and spending lovely long times alongside the caves which are mostly overlooking on a river from its left side where our village "Kasrage" had been established before it was totally drowned as well as many areas surrounding the River by the damming-water created at Saddam period in 1980s.
Still I have a backing- up memory about that earlier stage, the moments of my childhood- up to 20 years of my age, which never I can forget.
Frankly it will be, if I have said that the certain period above I mentioned has unique tasting days since every bird I eagerly listened to its songs, every wild animal I chased, every girl I played with when we have been shepherding, each moment of all these is hardly to be removed from one's mind.

A village its name is well known
Divested, and no name remains.
Once it was drowned by a flood.
And the water angrily expanded to replace
Neither name remains then nor any ruins.
Its people sorrowfully left the place
And everything of their memorial was gone
No sun should be lovely in their day.
No shiny moon should pleasantly stay
And no children should gather then to play
As a nightly team came to play a hiding game
A memory comes up to my mind over the years
What had I had if everything is gone?
A place had been swept away by the waves
Which bird will chant then and,
on which wood will it perch?
Is it untruth if we said it is a type of doom?
What gloom is the worst than a departure gloom?
No way still being paved unless was flooded.
Even the rocks that one day I sat near or beside.
Shattered and devastated to be unseen ruins.
No face unless was covered with dimness.
No green-grassed area unless being shabby.
None of the green meadows,
None of the green flattened areas,
No whispering doves come round.
No sweet sound of a partridge can be heard.
None of all these stay safely and sound.
Unless it turns yellowy and faded
Yes, it has been faded as my faded heart.
Yes, it has been faded as my graying hair.
Yes, the memories can't be forgotten but faded.
It was faded as the bygone frustrated years.
As my youth that had nothing of cheers!
To be alike fragments of nuts shells
Intentionally to be trodden by the passers.
As autumn leaves drop down one after another.
No miracle set worthy, if they were fallen down.
Useless then to be grown and grown
Valueless then to be smart or either relaxed
But to run away within each steep slope comes down.
Then in the empty space to be faded
In that place of dignity
In that place of purity
In that place of earning to be nontransparent shapes
My wishes, my desire, the rough attitudes of hers
Let me envisage them with each sight
Let me decorating them into my lines.
Let me cuddling them separately as I want
No doubt and no doubt, there is no fault!
They are the heritage of my own humor
They are the ladder of my last chamber
Cheer up to you!
