      Have Pity on My Guitar - MAHMOUD S KAWASH

      PREFACE

      PATRIOTISM AND ROMANICISM ARE IN THEIR VEINS

      REVIEW OF THE CREATIVITY OF MAHMOUD SAID KAWASH’S PROFOUND POETRY.

      T

      here are no boundaries for literature poetry and verse in the world and every country has people, who devoted a great part of their lives to literature. In some aspects of life these people are like minded. Both Patriotism and Romanticism occupy a great part of their lives and love to their native land appears from their veins. One of these people is Mahmoud Said Kawash.

      Mahmoud Said Kawash is a Palestinian - Danish poet for humanity, writer and researcher, who was born in Mirun - Safad, in the upper

      Galilee of now occupied Palestine.

      His life and creative line is very rich and colourful.

      Mahmoud Said Kawash is highly educated and has succeeded in the area of literature poetry and verse, culture, education and press.

      Mahmoud Said Kawash covers different themes in his books. Reading his poems takes the reader through different stages of social and poetry life. However, the golden line of his creativity is his love for his nationality, people and motherland. His creative diversity makes him a golden pen holder.

      As an international poet, he participated in many of the famous international anthologies such as Inner Child Press International - W.A.R. We Are Revolution - Poets for Humanity - 2020,  Inner Child Press International & The Year of the Poet - Poetry, the best of 2020 - Poets of the world, ATUNIS GALAXY ANTHOLOGIES 2021, 2022, 2025 WORLD POETRY, The whispers of Soflay vol. 4 - Yearly Anthology of Poetry 2022, Jara Foundation Nepal - Creative Bridge 2022 International Poetry Anthology, WORLD CONTEMPORARY POETS, VOL.2. He is also a Moderator or a Top Contributor in many International Literary Daily and weekly Magazines.

      His success took Mahmoud Said Kawash to every country and every poetry lover’s home. One of those poetry lovers is me, Ismayilova Mesma Aliyulla gizi.

      His distinguished activity interested me, so I translated one of his poems - The call of the great return - to Azerbaijani, and I hope that I can translate many more of his beautiful poems.

      Respect and success from Azerbaijan

      HAVE PITY ON MY GUITAR

      My heart drifted away

      How can I forget

      That night when love called me

      Her shadow pierced within

      Tangling with my blood

      Standing at her door... Come, I whispered

      Her bust longing for an embrace

      She threw herself swiftly, unhesitant

      In the arms of her fervent lover

      I scented her ecstatic wet lips

      That blasted pure nectar

      Feeling her concealed eagerness

      I stealthily touched her breast

      Whose temperament so suave, so intense

      My lips almost touching hers

      Burning an ardent flame

      I gathered my strengths to hold her tight

      And felt her hasty bliss

      Revealing her divine thick lips

      Soon emerged redness on her cheeks

      Reminding me of the moment

      When the sun blends with the horizon

      Oh virgin! In the depths of your fine
