To the loves of my life…

إذا مر يوم ولم أتذكر
به أن أقول صباحك بسكر

فلا تذهلى من سكوتى وصمتى
ولا تحسبى أن شيئا تغير

فحين أنا لا أقول أحب
فمعناه أنى أحبك أكثر

Iza marra yaumun walam atazakkar
Bihii an aquula sobahuki bisukar
Fala tazhali min sukuuti wa somti
Wala tahsabii anna syai’an taghayyar
Fahiina ana la aquulu uhibbu
Fama’nahu annii uhibbuki akthar

When a day passed by while I didn’t remember
By it, to wish you a morning of sugar (sweetness)
Thus, don’t be confounded by my hush and silence
And don’t think that anything have changed
For at time when I don’t utter love
It pertains that, truly, I love you so much more

Sorry, I can’t resist myself from posting this a bit of a “jiwang” entry. This syair Arab is too nice to let it drown in the internet mass.

Well, once in a while, we have to express ourselves .

Thank you alfatih for this very very nice poem.
