Poems about Longing
Many poems explore the theme of longing, including:
Poem: The Sleeplessness caused by Intense Longing
By Jamil Buthayna:
Intense longing has deprived me of sleep,
And the memories of my beloved after our separation.
If only I knew, when Buthayna left,
Will we meet again after her departure?
And I said, on the day the caller called,
Urging a journey and embarking?
If only I had a moment with you now, Buthayna,
A farewell gathering before we part!
Wherever you are and wherever I am, I will not forget
The covenant and oath.
Poem: Saha
By Emad Ali Qatari:
The evening comes, tinged with the desire of wishes,
And the setting sun bathes itself far behind the horizon.
Oh, ember igniting our longing for home,
Strange…
And the sand of the plains laments the stillness of footsteps,
Sorrowful, like the face of a stranger longing for companions on the paths.
There, a palm tree rejoices in the heights,
And the waves gently greet its fronds as they sway.
And the heart of the stranger yearns, burdened with longing and some sorrows.
Oh, seagull of longing, what lies beyond the boundaries?
Oh, poetry, be gentle.
The evening in the plains rekindles the troubles,
And builds pillars of longing that whisper to the stars.
Oh, restless seagull, where will the winds of exile shelter the stranger?
And the echoes of desire sleep on the stone of Yara,
And in the eye, a distant Nile calls the sail.
A fugitive scattered amid sand and mud, and some longing.
The water is sweet, so why this yearning for the bitterness?
And some love in exile is heavy,
Like the heaviness of farewells.
Will Saha, beneath this shelter, unleash
This longing for violets?
And does the mud accept the scent of wild thyme?
And will the exile be content with the waters of affection and delta, and some waiting?
“I am glory and passion,”
Say the winds from the north.
And they sway over the daisy flower,
And time does not exist in the sands that glory has adorned.
So return, oh stranger of the homeland,
Here is water for you,
And the earth longs for a pouring rain.
So, what for you in waiting behind the bitterness?
