Another Khartoum Part 2

Another Khartoum Part 2

The old singer says / Greetings, greetings / To all the free doves / To a welcoming house, / To a palm filled with gifts / To the honesty of mirrors / To all the streets / To all the entrances / To all the houses / To all the corners / To the heart of a young woman / And the arms of a young man / To the profound thought that enlightens our souls / To my poems which are sung

From the poem Yagoul Al Mughanni Al Qadeem, (The Old Singer Says) by Abdullah Shabo, in Shabo, 2004, pp.83-84, cited in Sand in my Eyes, Sudanese Moments, by Enikö Nagy.
