His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, “may God protect him”, broadcast some verses of his immortal poem “Ya Naseem al-Barr”, through his personal account on “Instagram”, under the title “Poetic Flashes”.
These verses are:
O breeze of land, O Sherta of the South
Inform the beloved with my news and hope
I have a heart longing for it
The Aram is like the deer of the plain
The leader of Aryam Al Maha Valley Azoub
In the palms between Saihah and the sand
If the full moon is ashamed, the veils
And veils the ignorant with a light that burns
And this poem competes with singers and composers to sing it, to satisfy the taste of the far and near because of the abundance and elegance that it carries, filled with all degrees of attachment to the beloved, in addition to the tables of wisdom that are teeming with it, in terms of the parallel between the pain and sweetness of love and enduring its ferocity, and the permanence of attachment in proximity and distance and in giving and repelling.
In the first house, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum calls out the breeze of righteousness and the blowing of the wind to inform his beloved of the news of his heart and his hope in the meeting. The anxious man, who is looking for someone to calm his fear and extinguish the fire of his longing, then moved to a wonderful analogy when he compared his condition to the leader of the Aryam Oryx “the single man” who travels between the valley and the sands in search of his dream and hope, stressing in the fourth house that his beloved, if he appears, he is ashamed of the full moon from its excessive glare and brightness. Describing the hair of his beloved scattered on the shoulders, admonishing him for being far away, despite the love he had for him in his heart and conscience, and wondering how he could diminish or vanish. And because His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum is unique in wisdom wrapped in beautiful images in his poetry, he wonders: Are all these heart loads from the flow of passion calculated in our lives? The high places that resemble the height of the destiny of his beloved in his heart, and the desert breeze caresses his delicate hair in his beloved, and announces his patience and endurance, the glow of longing, and the ability to sail in the sea of wisdom as well.
