Implants and response in the mouth of the gun
The Syrian poet Abdul Salam Haj Naguib gave a poem entitled "Brokar Damshqi", which won the admiration of the jury, and applauded the audience long. Dr. Abdulmalek described Morta as the best, for the beauty of her likenesses, the flow of her language, the elegance of her weaving, the charm of her rhythm, and her statement. From the poem:
As a tender mint like a laugh like a eyeliner in the eyelids of a boy like a bird, he suppresses the war His voice is planted and the response in the mouth of the gun
