"A Bridge for the Sorrows of Water" is a poetic collection by Dr. Zakaria Shahin, published in 2009 by Tanit Publishing House in Tunisia. The book consists of only 43 pages.
About the collection:

•     Genre: Modern Arabic poetry
•     Language: Arabic
•     Tone: The collection carries a deeply emotional and reflective tone. The title evokes water as a symbol of sorrow, fluidity, and memory, while the "bridge" suggests a passage or an attempt to overcome pain.
•     Themes: Exile, loss, homeland, longing, and possibly meditations on self and existence—recurring motifs in Dr. Zakaria Shahin’s other works.
Due to its brevity, the collection resembles a long poem or a series of interconnected poetic texts, written in a richly symbolic language.
