Melancholic Poetry

Here are some excerpts of melancholic poetry:

1. By Elia Abu Madi:

And a tear appears in her eyes,

Silent, not flowing, nor does it sink.

As if she were a hero besieged by foes,

With swords and his precious blade in ruin.

1. By Nazik Al-Malaika:

I scream but hear only my own groan,

I gaze but see naught but darkness.

Clouds, silence, and a sorrowful night,

No wonder I feel this dread inside.

1. By Labid Bin Rabiah:

The ones I cherished have departed,

Leaving me in a desolation akin to a leper’s skin.

They feast on betrayal and treachery,

Condemning those who voice their dissent.

I have seen glimpses of beauty,

Like a rainstorm nourishing the dry earth.

1. By Al-Baroudi:

I turned to tears, but they did not respond,

Losing tears in sorrow is a sickness.

And while I did not fall short in despair,

When sorrow overwhelms, tears vanish away.

1. By Taleb Hamash:

I asked you, my companion: what despair grips you this evening,

As you light candles in a time of tears.

I placed my hand on your aged face,

Wiping away long-buried sorrow.

Yet, I found your heart has been dead for some time,

Your spirit flowing with the tears,

Were you to betray them?

Are you sad until the end of your soul,

Till the flute’s notes pierce your heart?

Alas, I raised a lamp to your eyes,

To catch a glimpse of you.

I saw you drunkenly weep,

Your tears soaking your beard.

And the flute attends to your affairs!

You have been absent, leaving me stranded,

Lonely in life without your presence.

When I sought you again,

I found you thirsty,

Your heart grieving from afar,

Won’t you heed my call, father of sorrow?

How could you leave your orphans grieving,

And allow this weeping to persist?

How could you leave the melodies hanging,

And the violins crying for your pain?

1. By another poet:

Oh sadness, depart from me and allow my pain to fade,

For in you, I reap nothing but suffering.

Oh sadness, what claim do you have on me? Can’t you see that which afflicts me is enough?

I tire from wishing so much, and you are not a barrier to me.

Oh sadness, do not misjudge me; you are better off without my company.

I bear enough pain to weep, I carry enough wounds to bleed.

Oh sadness, do you think I am satisfied with you?

Has the time not come yet? Has your departure not arrived, oh my sorrow?
