al-Ṭuyūr Tafqid Būṣlatahā (The Birds Lose Their Compass) by Aḥmad Najm is a poignant collection of Arabic poems that reflect on exile, displacement, and longing. Published in 2020 by Sameh Publishing in Sweden, this 162-page volume captures the emotional landscape of a people uprooted from their homeland, likened to birds that have lost their sense of direction.
Key themes include:
The metaphor of the bird as a symbol of the migrant soul
Nostalgia for childhood, sunlight, and the lost cities of the Arab world
Reflections on identity, memory, and the trauma of forced migration
A lyrical style that blends personal grief with collective history
The poems are deeply humanistic, resonating with anyone who has experienced the ache of dislocation.
