Arab culture is amazing with its emphasis on poetry. I can hardly think of any other culture where you would have a TV show running for months dedicated to poetry (with great prizes!)
Abu Dhabi: Qatar once again succeeded in carrying the flag for native Bedouin poetry, known as nabati for the second year.
Khalil Ebrahim Al Shabrami (with the red flag) from Qatar was honoured on Tuesday night by Shaikh Abdullah
Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Foreign Minister in the final episode of the
Million's Poet TV show broadcast live on Abu Dhabi TV.

Respect For Your Parents
A child asks his father: “O father, where are you
going? Please tell me why you’re pulling my
grandfather on his bed instead of him using his
cane?”
He replied: “I’m throwing away your grandfather in
the sea, there is no place for him here any more.
What do you want?”
The boy says: “I want his blanket, so that when
tomorrow comes and you grow old and come
under my shadow I can wrap you with it and throw
you along with him.”
Know people, that God blesses and will be pleased
to those who are always willing to serve and help
their parents, for as much as they are pleased with
you; so too will he be
Muhammad al-Manhali
good for the guy! But he doesn't appear very happy, interesting, maybe it's a cultural thing not to show too much happiness. I would be all smiley-smiley :-)))))
i like the poem you posted seryozha
can any of the anadubawi user post more translated verses like this one. its quite interesting to hear all that we have heard and forgotten. its equally can be called an eye opener to all those in the middle age and teens and a recollection for old people.
I wish i can read and speak arabic. i love poems. actually i write poems too just for my special someone, we call ourselves artist.because we express ourselves through poetry, paintings, and sculptures.
It would be very nice if you could post a poem or two of yours, pisces0222 ..unless they are too private, in which cas, excuse me.
