The martyrs of the Aimma

 
 

bridge

 
   
   
       1  
 

A delinquent vision cheered   

 
 

In the middle of the two banks

 
 

In a daydream awaken

 
       Life is a lamp    
       And an alarm  
       It rings whenever the flame ends  

 

 
 
     
       2  
     
       From the earth’s blessed pores  
 

The virgins fall

 
 

In them the Altaff* smell

 
 

They fall from the Aimma bridge

 
     
 

3

 
     
 

From those borders

 
 

The borders of truth

 
 

To the bridge’s truth

 
 

The Aimma bridge

 
 

The children flap like angels’ birds

 
     
 

4

 
     
 

From a world far away

 
 

Very far away

 
 

A star travels

 
 

Its worldly ray

 
 

And Its golden air

 
 

That Aimma bridge meteors climb

 
     
 

5

 
     
 

A rocking lamp

 
 

Hung on a swing

 
 

The visitors are its decoration

 
 

Their foreheads’ spark

 
 

Rises to the sky from the Aimma bridge

 
     
 

6

 
     
 

Beyond the radiance

 
 

Radiance of the stars

 
 

Fabulous nectar

 
 

From the plant’s wraith

 
 

Moist like honey

 
 

Moisturizes the lips of the Aimma bridge martyrs.

 
     
 

7

 
     
 

A flower like a jewel

 
 

Its lilies are a rainbow

 
 

In a continual fission

 
 

the papers fissure

 
 

Painted by golden water

 
 

Its echo repeats

 
 

The names of the martyrs of the Aimma bridge

 
     
 

8

 
     
       Sandstone pearls  
 

In a dark night

 
 

The branches of light seep through

 
 

The bird of the sky carries Assemblage thunder of souls

 
     
 

9

 
     
 

On Alabastrine shell

 
 

Beyond the blue

 
 

Delimited the stars

 
 

Assemblages of angels

 
 

Regard the radiance of the flood

 
 

That crawls like endless stars

 
     
 

10

 
     
 

Our second lung

 
 

Our other half

 
 

Our facing wave

 
 

Our other eye

 
 

Discovers the riddle and witnesses

 
 

Two lungs for one  heart

 
     
 

*Altaff : The place where Hussein the son of prophet Mohammed’s daughter was killed with  72  members during the

 
 

battle.
