AN EXCEPTIONAL WOMAN!!
By: Mahmoud Said Kawash
He has known her as a gentle breeze with her delicacy and sweetness
And as a transient and romantic dream with her compassion and
magnificence
The rainbow hides when she appears with her smiling face
The poets’ and writers’ talent and inspiration flow with the sparkle of
her look
Sorrow and misery turn into joy and happiness with the warmth of her
whisper.
Despair and despondency turn into hope and optimism when people
accompany her
That was how he knew her!!
He knew her as she did not know herself
And as no one else knew her
Yes, so he knew her!!
He knew her as he did not know anyone else
Perhaps, as he will not know a similar or alternative
Amongst all the women, in all places and times
That was how he knew her!!
He knew her because he lived with her
Just as the parents, sisters and brothers did not
Just as uncles and aunts did not
He knew her more than the most faithful and loyal relatives and friends
Yes, so he knew her!!
He loved her with his mind and heart
With bold and blatant feelings
He accepted her with her simplicity, slips of her tongue and innocent
mistakes
Since she knew him, she did not suffer from repression or deprivation
With him she felt reassurance, security and safety
Yes, so he loved her!!
She did not know the meaning of life as she did with him
And did not taste contentment and love as she did with him
She said goodbye to innocence while she was in his arms
She did that when Allah gave her the permission to do so
That was how he knew her!!
She loved him with her instinct, her chastity, and her spontaneity
With her weakness and strength
She loved him according to her method, nature and temper
She loved him according to the firm wisdom and strict traditions
She loved him in a gentle, sweet, dreamy and romantic way
That was how she loved him!!
She was a half-sane, realistic, and a wandering half-fictional
Half wise, quiet, crazy and revolting
Half civilized and half bedouin
Half submissive maid and half modern princess
Half innocent child and half genius woman
That’s who she was!!
She was known by her love to literature, culture, knowledge and science
She was known by her good speech, social and public relation
She made him swing between this world and the "hereafter"
Between the glow of the mind and the rebellious passion
Between the super consciousness and the extreme madness
That’s how she was known!!
She knew how to forgive all his mistakes and slips
And calm all his nervousness and tension
And reduce his impulsion and recklessness
She knew how to make him an extraordinary and distinguished husband
She transformed him from a rebellious man to a spontaneous romantic
poet.
She transformed him from an arrogant man to a sane and submissive child
It was not difficult for her to make him diplomatic and flexible
Because she was honest and capable, in a time where feelings turned into
goods for sale and purchase
This is how she knew him and thus turned him into AN EXCEPTIONAL MAN!!
Yes!! Because she is AN EXCEPTIONAL WOMAN!!
She is truly AN EXCEPTIONAL WOMAN!!
Really, she is a woman!!
What a woman!!

امراة استثنائية!
By: Mahmoud Said
Kawash
عرفها نسيم لطيف برقتها
وحلاوتها
وكحلم عابر ورومانسي
بعطفها وروعتها
تختبئ قوس قزح عندما
تظهر بوجهها المبتسم
تدفق موهبة الشاعر
والكاتب والهام بريق اطلالتها
الحزن والبؤس يتحول الى
فرح وسعادة بدفء همسها.
الياس و الياس يتحول
الى امل و تفاؤل عندما يرافقها الناس
هكذا عرفها!!
عرفها وهي لا تعرف
نفسها
وكما لم يعرفها احد اخر
نعم، لذا عرفها!!
عرفها ولم يعرفها غيرها
ربما لانه لن يعرف مثيل
او بديل
بين كل النساء، في كل
الاماكن والازمان
هكذا عرفها!!
عرفها لانه عاش معها
تماما كما لم يفعل
الاباء والاخوات والاخوة
تماما كما لم يفعل
الاعمام والعمات
كان يعرفها اكثر من
اكثر الاقارب والاصدقاء اخلاصا واخلاصا
نعم، لذا عرفها!!
احبها بعقله وقلبه
بمشاعر جريئة و صارخة
تقبلها ببساطتها و زلات
لسانها و اخطاء بريئة
منذ ان عرفته لم تعاني
من القمع او الحرمان
معه شعرت بالطمانينة
والامان والامان
نعم، لذا فقد احبها!!
لم تعرف معنى الحياة
كما فعلت معه
ولم تذق طعم الرضا
والحب كما فعلت معه
ودعت البراءة وهي بين
ذراعيه
فعلت ذلك عندما اذن
الله لها بذلك
هكذا عرفها!!
احبته بغريزتها وعفافها
وعفويتها
بضعفها وقوتها
احبته حسب طريقتها
وطبيعتها وعزابها
احبته وفقا للحكمة
الراسخة والتقاليد الصارمة
احبته بطريقة لطيفة
وحلوة وحالمة ورومانسية
هكذا احبته!!
كانت نصف عاقل وواقعية
ونصف خيالي متجول
نصف حكيم وهادئ ومجنون
ومثور
نصف متحضر ونصف بدوي
خادمة نصف خاضعة ونصف
اميرة حديثة
نصف طفل بريء وامراة
نصف عبقرية
هكذا كانت!!
عرفت بحبها للادب
والثقافة والمعرفة والعلوم
عرفت من خلال خطابها
الجيد، علاقتها الاجتماعية والعامة
جعلته يتارجح بين
الدنيا والاخرة
بين توهج العقل
والعاطفة المتمرد
بين الوعي الفائق
والجنون الشديد
هكذا كانت معروفة!!
كانت تعرف كيف تسامح كل
اخطائه وزلاته
ويهدئ كل عصبيته وتوتره
وقلل من اندفاعه
واستهتاره
عرفت كيف تجعله زوجا
غير عاديا ومتميزا
حولته من رجل متمرد الى
شاعر رومانسي عفوي.
حولته من رجل متكبر الى
طفل عاقل خاضع
لم يكن من الصعب عليها
ان تجعله دبلوماسيا ومرنا
لانها كانت صادقة
وقادرة في زمن تحولت المشاعر الى سلعة للبيع والشراء
هكذا تعرفه ومن ثم
حولته الى رجل استثنائي!!
نعم!! لانها امراة
استثنائية!!
انها حقا امراة
استثنائية!!
حقا، انها امراة!!
يا لها من امراة!!
