What I chose was based on a combination of personal taste and conviction - which sought to be objective as much as possible - that these examples are worthy of introducing the wide reader to Adwan’s poetic personality. What also requires clarification is that the selection of poems over others was subject to a specific technical factor: that is, the replacement of long poems in favor of medium or short ones, in order to make room for the largest possible number of texts expressing the experience, and in a way that is proportionate to the proposed size of the selections.
Hopefully, these selections will succeed in recalling a lofty poetic stature, represented by “the free son of life,” “the one who exalts himself upon condescension,” bending “with the discipline of a soldier before a spike,” looking “sad and angry, at the perforated shoes of the poor,” biased “to her path filled with the dust of honor.” "; As Mahmoud Darwish expressed in his eulogy for Adwan.

If the sight becomes bright and the moon eclipses:
In this version, you are waiting for a painful real-life incident that occurred in the year 2004, and the events of that incident are still continuing.
Saffron fields:
At sunset, the saffron flower closes in on itself and hides.
Part of the note was hidden behind the fire, burned and hidden forever!
The ship also sank and hid in the depths of the ocean.
Musa, Farzana, Abu Musa, Faisal and Maryam...they all have a truth that they strive to hide.
In war and peace, in love and hate,
Circumstances varied, and the reasons varied.
But they all had another side!
It was not hypocrisy. Circumstances made it necessary for them to hide one face and show another. Because revealing the truth is sometimes costly, and sometimes foolish.
At other times, hiding it is considered cowardice, and showing it requires courage that they did not possess at the time...!
Perhaps we are all like them, due to some circumstance.. We have another side that we hide, or postpone its appearance.!
Mahra bint Ahmed
