Rural Poems is one of Charbel Baini's books translated from Arabic into English

Lub Anan

 

O eagle of the good land,

help me...

I am the queen of the hoary snow,

I have been widowed since the beginning of creation.

Save me from the alienation of weariness and despair.

Fly me to the land of eternity,

To where "Diditta" resided...

To "Lub Anan" (Lebanon)...

for there, eternity rests.
