Smile..... You are in an Arab country
When the cafes are filled with youth....
Masdjid and libraries complain of absence...
Smile..... You are in an Arab country
When hosting a dancer to talk about the Liberation of Palestine.....
Smile..... You are in an Arab country
When you study 6 years in primary school...
And 3 years in preparatory and 3 others years in secondary school...
And four or five years at the university...
To work later in the vegetable market...
Smile.... You are in an Arab country
When there are six million foreign workers...
And three million unemployed...
Smile.... You are in an Arab country
When you are an engineer and your boss has an elementary certificate,
And is an employee like you...
Smile.... You are in an Arab country
When there are fifteen magazines of popular poetry,
And there is no scientific magazine...
Smile.... you are in an Arab country
When you go to that region in your country...
Where no one speaks Arabic and you think you're over the border so that you have reached (Dhaka)...
Not surprised ... You are in an Arab market where all vendors are foreign
Smile ... You are in an Arab country
When you are driving your American's car...
And you eat Hamburger and drink Pepsi...
Then you call for a boycott of American products.....
Smile ... You are in an Arab country
That did not get the promotion in your work only by nepotism,
And does not obtain an estimate at the University only by nepotism,
And didn't find a job only by nepotism,
And didn't obtain your rights only by nepotism,
Smile.... you are in an Arab country
When participating in forums and talking with a man using the name of a woman
Smile.... you are in an Arab country
When praying the Friday sermon, and on how to wash properly
at the same time, Israeli tanks have crushed the bones of Palestinian girl
Smile ... you are an Arab and you live in an Arab country
Finally,
If you feel intimidated when reading this letter
Smile, you are certainly an Arab and you live in an Arab state
Is no power but Allah.
لاَ حَوْلَ وَ لاَ قُوَةَ إِلا بالله
