And when we say we love him, we are not declaring an emotion, but rather issuing a complete historical judgment!
We say it fully, unimpaired, with all our mouth and will, not under the pressure of the moment, and we say it with the awareness of those who know that love not chosen does not protect a nation! And that loyalty extracted from the throats does not create legitimacy, but accumulates deferred hatred waiting for the first crack!
We love him as the flower loves the dew, not because it is merely beautiful, but because it is essential for life not just a morning decoration!
Just as the note loves the distance, not because it is far, but because it is the space where the sound is completed and deserves to be heard!
And as the river loves its water which they are accustomed to; because if it betrays him, it becomes just a dry gully in the memory of the earth!
We love him.. because we have lived in times when truths were bare, and we learned that the nation is not a hotel, knowledge is not a piece of fabric, and sovereignty is not an anthem; but is a single man, if he falters, the balance is disturbed, and if he stands firm, the meaning is clear, and if he betrays, he betrays both geography and history together!
The word "We love you"! was not extracted from our throats; it is the free voice that signs an unwritten social contract, and it is the profound rejection of turning it into a hollow ritual; as happened with a neighbor who forced his people to chant "We love you"!; while secret recordings later revealed that president's mockery of his people's blood, his disregard for his army, his bargaining with militias on the sovereignty of his nation, and his crossing all red lines to keep the chair standing on the ruins of dignity and meaning! There, when all the night's betrayals entered the room of his country, and he stood behind the door listening... and bargaining.
Here, the nation was never used once as a shield for personal survival; rather, the leader himself made himself a hostage to its survival, and a guarantor of its safety!
We love him because we have seen how impossibility is managed without clamor, how danger is tamed with reason not with showmanship, and how the impossible, when it passes through his mind, becomes a viable path of life rather than chaos in the streets!
Jordan under his era did not survive because it is the strongest, but because it is the most aware;
It did not endure because it is the richest, but because it is the clearest;
It did not remain because it is fortified, but because it is understood by its leader before being understood by the world!
We love him because geography in his view is not a curse, but a constant moral examination;
And because poverty and scarcity were never a shame, but materials for manufacturing dignity;
And because narrowness did not produce political hysteria, but gave birth to wisdom walking on two legs, and maintaining balance in a region that lost its nerves!
We love him because he kept the thread between him and us tight...
Not as a noose tightening around necks,
Nor frivolous to be consumed by the first wind,
But as a hidden bond tightened to the level of wisdom;
If it slackens, the roof falls,
And the temple collapses on everyone!
We love him because governance in his dictionary is not managing a crisis, but the art of preventing collapse before it is called a collapse;
And because his decisions are not reactions, but proactive actions knowing where to place his foot even before the ground moves!
We love him because justice with him is not a decoration of speech, but a Hashemite ratio that does not end.
And because human dignity with him is not a margin of politics, but the very basis of all legitimacy!
We love him because Jordan under his era did not swell until it choked, nor did it shrink until it disappeared, but remained its natural size… capable of breathing amidst a field of storms!
We love him because when we disagree we do not fear, and when we criticize we are not branded traitors, and when we are anxious we are not eliminated and crushed!
We love him because our relationship with him was not built on cheers, but on mutual understanding:
A people who knows the limits of its moment, and a leader who knows the weight of his responsibility!
We love him because the youth in his era were not the decor of the future, but its raw material!
And because the human mind with him is a sovereign origin, not a cultural luxury!
And because the dream was not left to be slaughtered in the corridors, but positioned at the heart of the state as a bet on existence!
On the occasion of his sixty-fourth birthday, we do not stop to count the years, but to read the course;
The course of a state that chose reason when the region went mad,
And balance when the maps slipped,
And effective patience when noise became policy!
His presence at the head of the state was not a fleeting temporal detail,
But the tent peg that stabilizes,
And its moral column that holds the roof when it becomes heavy,
And the unseen safety umbrella that prevents the storm from uprooting the home,
And the compass of meaning in a time when directions were lost before the maps!
We love him because he did not promise us paradise, but because he protected us from hell!
And because he did not sell us illusions, but preserved our ability to continue...!
And that, for those who understand history, is the highest degree of heroism!
We love him...
Not because we love a leader,
But because we love a nation that did not betray itself!
And because we love the idea of governance when it survives trivialization!
And we love the meaning when it is guarded and not exploited!
We love him...
Because when we utter his name,
We do not borrow a voice,
Nor perform a ritual,
But we endorse a collective awareness that says:
Here a state remained,
Here an idea endured,
Here a nation… did not break.
Here...Jordan!
