This Poem has inspired the masses in the Arab world and made this historical revolution possible-written by Abul Qasim Al Shabi a forgotten Hero

This is one of his most famous poems: Ela Toghat Al Alaam ("To the Tyrants of the World")

Hey you, the unfair tyrants...

You the lovers of the darkness...

You the enemies of life...

You've made fun of innocent people's wounds; and your palm covered with their blood

You kept walking while you were deforming the charm of existence and growing seeds of sadness in their land

Wait, don't let the spring, the clearness of the sky and the shine of the morning light fool you...

Because the darkness, the thunder rumble and the blowing of the wind are coming toward you from the horizon

Beware because there is a fire underneath the ash

Who grows thorns will reap wounds

You've taken off heads of people and the flowers of hope; and watered the cure of the sand with blood and tears until it was drunk

The blood's river will sweep you away and you will be burned by the fiery storm.

Arabic script of the poem "Ela Toghat Al Alaam" (To the tyrants of the world)
