Best viewed with Internet Explorer
(Both Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator have problems with Arabic
punctuation and need additional work to correct that. I had to decide
for one of them. You can still read the poem with the Navigator, but
there may be problems with the placing of punctuation.)
