Rashid Husayn

I encountered these two lines of poetry in a book by Rashid Husayn:
(My people have exploded like volcanoes in rebellion, and deposited the thrones of traitors to the trash bin
When will the turn of "Amman", when will the turn of "Mecca" come, to bury the sins of the tyrannical kings)

"تفجر شعبي كالبراكين ثائراً، وأودع عرش الخائنين القمامة...
متى دور "عمان" متى دور "مكة"، تشيعان في ملك الطغاة المآثما"
