Abdul Mohsen Al-Kazimi
Abdul Mohsen Al-Kazimi
Among the poems of Abdul Mohsen Al-Kazimi that share in the call for reform and the awakening of
souls, as he calls for adhering to noble character, because it is necessary for the individual and society
upon which the entity of the nation will be built
Make knowledge a foundation for the lands | that was not matched by any other foundation
Make your character beloved through the most beautiful conduct | for character is indeed the ornament of man
Make character a heaven among creatures | elevated by morals that are not cheap
And in another poem, he attributed this awakening to the sword and the pen,
He sees in glory a solution for blood to flow | or is the sword more knowing than you in heart and bolder
If you are rare among the people | then where is your brother the sword and the brilliant warning
Two siblings, each a breaker and a bond | by our noble ancestors they rose and descended
If you are not the rock of the entity with a sharp blade | and do not speak in death, son and elder
Abdul Al-Kazimi left his country due to the actions of his fellow citizens and went into exile, so his memories remained radiant throughout time
And nostalgia and longing for his family and companions overwhelmed him
And in Egypt, I see events as a distraction | while your heart, O Iraq, is my grandfather's remedy
Speak, for which mother do you love and then weep | while neither weeping nor wailing avails
The mixture has become clear, so there is no mixture | nor is there a beloved in hand, nor a lover
There is nothing sweeter than the bitterness of my eyes becoming sweet | nor is the scent of the beloved any good scent
A sample from the play "The Walls" by Khalid Al-Shawwaf
Time: Forenoon. The curtain rises on the slave trader standing on the platform, calling to gather
the people, while three veiled slave girls sit on the platform behind him.
Nakhkhar: (The slave trader) calling out as people begin to gather around the platform...
Come... come, lovers of beauty; come hither, come hither, noble men
Come... come hither... look at what I have, for this is an unparalleled collection
I have the elegant ones from every land, and from every ember I have pearls
I have the wild cows (beauties) the likes of which no eye has glimpsed, and which have never crossed a mind
I have the dark-skinned ones, the likes of which were not captives in nights of old
And what has not passed through a traveler's path, and what has not shaken the high mountains
I have those raised in luxury and Persians, I have the tender ones under the North wind
I have the blondes, the whites, the brunettes, and the blacks, ⟦I obtain whatever is desired⟧
But here is what is in the neighborhood, and how much do you buy except with nights
So do not deny them your enjoyment
(Then he bows skillfully and lifts the veil with his hand)
And do not be stingy with me regarding money

Selections
Al-Raji Yusuf Makhda said:
It is a benefit for a child, for the warner | and a life and comfort for the companion
How noble is a land with rivers | and its length has been described
Muhammad bin Sawwar said, describing his soul:
And a beloved in speech who was never out of hand | and in righteousness I loved her like the hidden sides
If the conquered passion stirred a lover | you came with types of affection from the side
From the opinion of Mushaffar Muhammad Said al-Haboubi (died in 1916).
O people of coquetry, stop your blamers | with Udhri love, my excuse became clear
And grant, O people of Najd, your union | to one infatuated by the distress from you
And remember me in my remembrance of you | many a memory has healed one who has emigrated
