They themselves
Those on whom the plane threw its deadly gifts were waving to it when they were children.
They pray for rain
And they die of thirst.

You are additional scarecrows for the birds
You guard the wheat
And you frighten the birds that seek to sit
No chrome theft!
You guard the wheat
My brothers
But you go to sleep hungry...
This collection includes a collection of sentimental poems that translate and embody reality, feelings, and events that I lived and were influenced by, so I recorded them in poetry. As for “The Secret of Love,” the name of the main poem of this collection, it is an emotional human experience that I was affected by and in which I shared with other people.. The Secret of Love is a title. It exudes rich connotations, as love remains the secret of hearts. Its sources are pure and pure humanity, and its meanings are higher than all calculations.
The secret of love is its emphasis on the human dimension of emotional relationships with great connotations. The collection tried to translate it with its poems through the images, ideas, and vocabulary it included.
If these poems are able to further build bridges of love or spread some of the sweetness of their meanings, then they have reached their destination and achieved success.
Before concluding my speech, I extend my heartfelt thanks to my honorable brother and friend, the poet Rashid Sharar, for his valuable introduction and review of the collection. And God is the Grantor of success.

The poetry of Sheikh Sultan bin Salem Al Qasimi was a directed speech, a documented history, a drawing with words, pure emotion, and mature thought. His poetry was visions of light and a lamp in a niche. It deserves to be read, studied, and followed, especially since it depicts an era in which reading and writing became scarce.
I wrote you with an alphabet of letters like a soul reciting with the calmness of its stillness
And with the noise of its radiance, and the trembling of its fear in your absence, and it is completed
Her look, the muteness of her words, and the melody of a bird flirting with space
And with an eagerness to meet, extending to no end..
