small ship, radiant sky, originally uploaded by n+s.
You are neither for this earth nor for that sky.
The world is for you; you are not for the the world.
This garden is the place for pain and prayer.
Not for picking flowers or for building a nest.
How long will you stay in the Ravi, Nile, and Farat?
Your ship [...]

Cool Breeze - by Amer
in this hot desert heat
you were a cool breeze
gone in a moment just as you came
leaving me behind to wonder if you will ever return
to mess up my hair
to touch my thristy lips softly
you were a sweet dream
vanished with the stars in the morning
leaving me to wake up in the blinding [...]

In the morning, there were voices in the caravan.
Let’s move on and let the sleeper sleep.
On this ground nothing can grow.
Please stop planting seeds of wishes in your heart.
These are marks of true love, they remain [...]

Delve deep into your buried Self, and find the clue to life,If you cannot be mine then be not, but be your own;
World of soul- a world of fire, ecstasy and longing,World of body- a world of gain, fraud and cunning;
The treasure of the spirit once again gained is never lost again,The treasure of the [...]

This is one of my favorite poem. This is my humble attempt to translate it in English.
—————-
O my friend the heart needs no hate.
Everyone loves good but do not even hate bad.
Who does not want the softness of flowers?
But do not be afraid of sharpness of thorns.
There is same blood in the veins of the [...]
