A love song to Australia is one of Charbel Baini's books translated by Paul Abdul Ahad

BRISBANE

Daughter of unlimited sea

Sister of sleepless sun

Brisbane the lurked treasure

Which dreams are dreaming of

I visited once and said

I'll come back

And feast the days' eyes

On prairies, climbing barren mountains

Where the bird has fasted and prayed

On the sea

Which the sand that's setting camps

Was born from

To powder smoothest cheeks

To guild most beautiful figures

O, Brisbane

Your beach is very popular

Generosity is acting

And we are one of those films
