Take Off Your Clothes
By Nizar Qabbani
Translated by A.Z. Foreman
Click here to hear me recite the Arabic

Take off your clothes.
It has been ages since a miracle
Touched the earth. Take off your clothes
For I am mute, but your body knows
Every tongue. Take off your clothes.


The Original:

تعري
نزار قباني

تعري فمنذ زمان طويل
على الأرض لم تسقط المعجزات
تعري .. تعري
أنا أخرس
وجسمك يعرف كل اللغات
