07Seventh: the two axes of the text and the order of its ideas

Axis one: love

  • Speech about nature, the countryside above all: the singing of birds, the sound of the wave, the warbling of the shepherds — and about the beauty and magic of the homeland and the harmony and kindness of its people.
  • He declares love from the very first words: "I love you, my homeland (ahwaak ya watani)" — a sentence repeated in the same structure or with some of its words, with a variation that deepens the love.

Axis two: sacrifice and ransom

  • In the middle of the speech of love he turns to what the homeland is exposed to, and addresses it: "O rock that the winds of time weakened, while time itself was not weakened" — the winds grew weak and the rock stood firm.
  • Then he returns to love, which reaches its peak in "and love in you is renewed by every beating heart".
  • Then he returns to the challenges, and the talk of ransom comes: "however tyrannical the night becomes, O my homeland… we will scatter it".
  • Everything in the homeland turns into the price of its freedom and dignity: its earth, its sky, and all between them.
