بغداد احسن كاع بكل المواسم
حبي الج لدوم ماله قاسم
This post is dedidcated to the memory of my good friends Omar, Zeynab, and their son Hussain whose remains were identified yesterday.
They died at the hands of the depraved dogs set loose upon the city which was their home by the modern Hulegu. Long after he, his barbaric blood-drenched empire, and all his pomps and works are no more than a memory at which men spit, Baghdad - “the city given by God” will be there, serene, triumphant, beautiful.
