نزار قباني
Nizar Qabbani
في بلاد يغتال فيها المفكرون، ويكفر الكاتب
وتحرقالكتب، في مجتمعات ترفض الآخر، وتفرض الصمت على الافواه والحجر على الافكار،
وتكفر اي سؤال، كان لابد ان استأذنكم ان تسمحوا لي..
In a country where thinkers are assassinated, and writers are considered infidels and books are burnt, in societies that refuse the other, and force silence on mouths and quarantine on thoughts, and where to question is a sin, I must beg your pardon, would you allow me?
