6 Aya Mansour Translations by Haider Catan and Tim Heffernan

By , and | 1 June 2022

A prayer

Like two streets converging
he held his hands up to the sky
and from his soul launched his prayers
to those who couldn’t be reached.

His fingers were
closed highways.

دعاءٌ

مثلُ شارعينِ
يحمل كفيه الى السماءِ
ومن روحه تنطلق دعواتُهٌ
فلا تَصِل.

كانت الاصابعُ
طُرقاٍ مُغلقةً
