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

The Sun's Pastures

 

Come, let us run towards the sun's pastures,

Where the shadows vanish,

Leaving behind threads of mist.

Come, let us embrace the black peak,

And engrave our names on the trunks of its rocks,

Laden with vigour and glory.

O beginning...

There... only there,

Will I bleed out my end.
