Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed Al Maktoum published a poem online about “shining swords with sharp blades” on the day his estranged wife asked a judge in London for a “forced marriage protection order,” according to a report.

Princess Haya Bint al-Hussein, 45, was seen in public for the first time this week after she fled from the United Arab Emirates with their 7-year-old son and 11-year-old daughter.

The British-educated princess, daughter of King Hussein of Jordan, became Sheikh Mohammed’s “junior wife” when she married him in 2004. She initially fled this year to Germany to seek asylum.

The 69-year-old sheikh, vice president of the UAE, has previously posted a cryptic poem on Instagram accusing an unidentified woman of “treachery and betrayal.”

The verse — called “Live or Die” — includes the chilling line: “You no longer have a place with me. I don’t care if you live or die.”

In his latest poem, he posted a verse titled “Swords of the Excellencies” as Princess Haya attended the High Courts of Justice in London at the beginning of the couple’s bitter legal battle over their kids, according to the Telegraph.

The sheikh is seeking “the summary return” of the two children, but Princess Haya has applied for a “forced marriage protection order,” as well as a non-molestation order, the newspaper reported.

The poem released Tuesday has been interpreted as an ode to the UAE’s Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, or MBZ as he is known locally.

“He (his Excellency) has shining swords with sharp blades. In their sheaths, they can cut if drawn,” the sheikh wrote on his official Instagram page.

“For confronting and keeping away the enemies, he has many soldiers. He has protected heroes so that nobody will conspire against them,” he added.

In Arabic, it appears that he is speaking figuratively, but his writing could be viewed as a veiled threat, possibly to regional enemies such as Iran or Qatar.
