3 creators ignite “confusion” with folk poetry

The Al-Heera Literary Council at the Institute of Culture in Sharjah witnessed a poetry session in which a group of creative poets participated, namely: Aisha Al-Shehhi, Sumaya Al-Naour and Alaa Ahmaro, while Emirati media personality, Lamia Al-Saikal , presented her in the presence of Butti Al-Mazloum, director of the council, and a number of intellectuals, poets and poetry lovers. Popular.

Al-Saiql initially emphasized that folk poetry is witnessing a great glow thanks to the care and attention that His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, has from His Highness the Sheikh, noting that folk poetry is one of the important tools to preserve people’s history and that cultural events play a prominent role in the preservation of heritage and vocabulary. She pointed out that the session brings together Emirati poetic voices with a broad creative touch.

She read the introduction to the session in the biographies of the poets and highlighted the main academic and creative stations they passed through and at the same time traveled in their literary achievements, where their poetic purposes varied and perhaps the most prominent of them are national, flirtatious and social subjects and other important subjects where poetry grows in their poems like a tree in shadows.

Creative writing was evident among the participating female creators as they read a group of texts, and Ahmaru sang from a poem in love with Sharjah, saying:

And if the Arabian sun rises, what does it set?

Hence the Arabs called it Sharjah

Luxury and palm trees free and fertile

And its mountains and plains embrace

A portrait of pride, no doubt

And the people in it are different from others

Al-Shehhi read from a poem titled “Oh, Sharp Kneeling”, in which the suffering of absence was revealed. She says:

Oh, you are sharp-footed, don’t challenge Salwa

If in their quarters the clouds of clouds, they are

The sea is deeper if the river is fresh water

And the earth is spacious if the sun were in the middle of the sky

Don’t care about absences and what they ask

What is transferred between people is like blood.

As for the hemophiliac, she had a lamentable pause as she remembered her father’s exploits and said:

You are surprised that he died while he was still alive

In your strength, some situations break you

I will not go to your father, and the joy has gone with him

And people suddenly sold you and condemned you

The orphan is tough

If you hide yourself from yourself, they will not understand you
