Homs-Sana
The Fayrouz Poetry Festival, hosted by the modernized cultural center in the Al-Zahra neighborhood of Homs, with the wide participation of a group of poets from literary and cultural gatherings.
The poems of poets who participated in the festival and joined the Jasmine Forums, the Cultural Corner, the Homs Literary Forum and Salon, Venus and the Palestinian Democratic Forum, where they drew from Fairouz's songs the words of their poems, dominated the zajali character.
The festival began with the poet Ibrahim Al-Hashem in Zajlia, in the spoken dialect, an earthquake, where he found the beloved's laughter running through the limbs.
The poet Ghassan Dalloul drew from Fayrouz's songs zajli words that bore the title of a point from her sea that sings of the beauty of the morning with the voice of our ambassador to the stars to decorate all our days.
The director of the Venus Cultural Forum, the poet Bahja Khaddour, scattered with her poem to Fayrouz tales of love and boyhood that dwelt in her memory and visions.
The poet Farah Moussa likened the songs of Fayrouz to his poem, “My morning coffee,” with rivers that feed artistic taste with beautiful melodies, words, and sweetness of voice.
Poet Kamel Bishtawi deplored his poem, Excuse Me Fairouz, the stances of some Arab regimes on the Palestinian cause, stressing that Khansa Al-Aqsa will continue to carry the mihrab and will not yield, and the bells of return will ring as he dedicated his poem to Homs, to his city he loves.
And the poet Aziz Sarah saw the voice of Fayrouz in a spoken zajlia, O Fayrouz, that it completes the morning and gives the soul a dose of kindness and wellness, just as Zajliah threw a coincidence in which he described his meeting with the beloved after an absence.
The poet Amjad Issa delivered a romantic and sentimental song entitled "Habi", as if the wind of love was blowing on his stomach, so the two winds would bloom with every green rhyme.
The poet Nabil Bakis sent a greeting of peace with a poem to Fayrouz on her birthday, scented with the scent of jasmine and morning prayers.
The poet, Dr. Madeleine Tannous, likened the legend of Fairouz's voice to the rising sun of the morning, as if he whispered a swallow.
The festival included a singing segment by Fairuzia, with the voice of the young woman, Sarah Ibrahim, and the playing of the wounded young man, Mahmoud Al-Hassan.
