Al Sharq (The Orient )

Oh Orient, you look so bright
But your darkness prevails
You are full of warmth
But your body is lazy cold
Nine hundred million people
Or are they sheep
The sun makes our people look like eggplants
Oh Orient, you look so bright
But your darkness prevails
Daughter of the pyramid builder
Gather your garments
And the burka with a hole in it
Along with all your scarves
Stop roaming aimlessly in the harem
Free yourself of your anklets
I have never seen a prisoner
So silent and so passive
The ignorance of women
Has made us become antique
Dressed with torn cloth
And some stitches
Anyway, the country is known
For no factories
Except the factories of flour
Long live Badrawi!
