[APPLAUSE]

00:00:02.240 --> 00:00:05.600 align:middle line:84%
Maybe, before the Q&A, I'll
just read a short poem in Arabic

00:00:05.600 --> 00:00:08.600 align:middle line:90%
for those who understand Arabic.

00:00:08.600 --> 00:00:14.830 align:middle line:84%
And for you to hear the music,
if there is music, that is.

00:00:14.830 --> 00:00:19.063 align:middle line:90%


00:00:19.063 --> 00:00:20.826 align:middle line:90%
لا أزور أمي كثيرًا،

00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:24.494 align:middle line:90%
فبيتها في آخر الدنيا وبارد جدًا

00:00:24.648 --> 00:00:27.094 align:middle line:90%
حتى في صيف بغداد…

00:00:27.488 --> 00:00:30.529 align:middle line:90%
آخر مرة زرتها، لم تقل الكثير

00:00:30.697 --> 00:00:34.750 align:middle line:90%
وكان الصمت حجرًا ما زال يثقل كاهلي

00:00:34.953 --> 00:00:39.646 align:middle line:90%
حتى جاراتها كنّ صامتات يرمقنني بعيون مغمضة

00:00:40.086 --> 00:00:42.969 align:middle line:90%
دمدمت الريح شيئًا لم أفهمه

00:00:43.196 --> 00:00:47.213 align:middle line:84%
ثم مدّ حارس المقبرة يده وقال،
"الله يرحمها."
