Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii everyone i would like to shire with you same of Sheikh mohammed bin rashid poems
I pictured the dreams - Rashid and Hamdan
This poem was written on the occasion of the graduation of Sheikh Mohammed's two eldest sons, Sheikh Rashid and Sheikh Hamdan, from the Royal Military Academy, in Sandhurst, England.
Rashid and Hamdan, the dreams of a bright tomorrow
And I pictured the dreams - Rashid and Hamdan
One named after the one whose name is bounty
The other named after Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan*
People of high rank, their name renowned
Heroes in kindness, and in adversity also heroes
Saw them, in my mind, whilst still in cradle
As leaders of justice and loyalty
And raised them as a lion his cubs
Lanners, never prey for hunters
Hour by hour, guided them to the goal
A father advising his children, shaping men
Rashid, I prepared for dark nights
And pride, Hamdan, purpose and vision
I congratulated, by them, Zayed, to whom they pledge allegiance
And congratulated Maktoum, the people of Dubai, and brothers
* Sheikh Mohammed's maternal grandfather,
who was Ruler of Abu Dhabi from 1912 - 1922.
the secand :- this peom is from sheikh mohammed bin rashid to his son sheikh hamdan when sheikh hamdan won first hores race when he was just 8 years old look to very proud dad what to say about his son :-
Oh Victorious Arrow
The best of wishes and most beautiful of songs
I present to one who brings good fortune
Today is your day, oh peerless in your time
For whom days pass joyfully
You, to my delight, are as I pictured you
Accustomed, Hamdan, to realizing my dreams
Not every hand can grasp the reins
Nor everyone on horseback be a rider
You, the one I always count on
Ever my victorious arrow
A winner since the age of eight
When others played the games of children
Never faltered or finished runner-up
Oh Hamdan, first among victors
The daughter of the moon* exhausts the horses
And you, Hamdan, exhaust both, riding or on foot
You competed fiercely, never listless
Always striving. If just a game you never won
You know the nature of the ground, firm or soft
As you know your horse, fast or slow
Your horse responds to you, as you respond to him, clearly
Even one who knows not the words comprehends the deeds
Congratulations Hamdan, heartfelt congratulations
Your horse for you is happy, strutting proudly
Oh friends, the riders, with all gratitude
To you...my thanks for your great efforts
And to whoever missed his chance, we promise
Victory, prizes and glory in the future
* Daughter of the moon = The desert
this peom was wortten by sheikh mohammed to his beloved wife sheikha hind
To..?
You are like you are though much happened
Dearest one, nobody attains your dearness to me
Your dearness I do not hide but declare it openly
Oh my foremost dream, ahead of me and after me
The letters of your name in my heart hold a secret
Your name for the description of beauty stands in
Oh perfume of 'ud, when arranged, scattered
And the first the third as the 'ud is Hindi*
For you beyond the limit of your lifetime a lifetime, and for me a lifetime
With you, and all that is left of life is immortality
Oh pure as the full moon! Oh aunt of the full moon!
Oh light! Oh scattered Arabian jasmine and roses!
When you depart one hour I feel it an era
I keep a vigil at the door awaiting your return
The course of nights, and nights have a course,
Did not change me and you are my days of bliss
Oh lady of the fair, the rosy and the tan
Oh fondness, I cannot measure the ebb and flow
I have seen all nights as the Night of Destiny
And my existence thence since first I saw you, oh my love, passion
*The line is a pun on the Arabic word for perfume, "dhn": shifting the first letter to the third position gives "hnd". India is the source of the finest (and now rarest) 'ud.
