Give me a drink
Let your eyes have mercy on me. Please
I want to dip my eyes in them
And from your honeyed saliva, a drop of water
Give me a drink. To moisten my lips a little
This world is a desert without you and me
**
She spoke
Charbel Baini. I know all your poetry is mine.
And I have never loved anyone else
I swear by your love. Everything is composed
With the letters of my name only, you cover it
And my picture is hung inside your heart
**
Knight
Keep laughing. Until the pearls appear
Your teeth are the colour of jasmine. And snow
And a Knight standing beside you with its length
For the sake of your eyes, its horses danced
And you, for someone else, sending your laughter
**
Close your eyes
Close your eyes. Until I see you sleeping
Dreaming and murmuring: Go
May God protect you, Charbel. I am fasting.
And your love is eternal joy in my heart.
What can I say about this world if it were without you?
**
Fasting.
Your red dress is too short.
Don't wear it in front of me today.
I am fasting.
And I'm afraid my fasting will fly away.
And I'll commit a sin that has no atonement.
And my mind will be lost and my fasting will be wasted.
**
Athmali liras.
If your hair flies, my doll,
My heart will stop. And my mind will fly.
Your hair. Like Athmali liras.
The colour of gold. But the gold told me:
This hair is much more precious.
**
Mirage
I tried to kiss you, but you didn't accept.
My heart tells me: The girl is coquettish.
I lied to myself when you walked away.
And without looking back, you run
Like a mirage, you waved at my night.
**
After
Why did you run away from me?
And I saw you, a traitorous girl.
You left my heart, my chest, and heaven.
And all you cared about was staying away from me.
The path and the dust bear witness against you.
**
Winter
When you slept next to me at night.
And your chest was on my chest, and your head was on me.
You felt like the weight of a pillow was heavy.
You whispered to me: Today, who is like me?
The sighs have erased the winter chill.
**
I am jealous
I am jealous, yes, I am jealous, I am telling you
From your laughter... From the ringtone of the mobile phone
From the walk that your shadow follows
From the fabric that kisses your body
And I stand before you helplessly
**
Glasses
I opposed you wearing glasses
So, I could flirt with your eyes
It's shameful for beauty to be hidden in the dark
I'll let you hear these five or six words
The colour of charcoal doesn't suit you
**
Luck
Don't leave me lost and worried
Your love killed me and blew my mind
I used to see you as a sun above the clouds
A beauty queen crowned with stars
I now see you as a lying girl
**
Lake
Be who you want to be
On the condition that you stand by my side
I'm going through crazy days
I dedicate my tears to the lake
I find that the lake needs a lock
**
Your house
I built your house with flowers
So that all its walls will be jealous of you
Oh, flower that blooms in the house
Cut the ribs and make stones out of them
Maybe my ribs will add to its structure
**
I wish
I wish I could reach where You
Throw my bundle of years at your door
Sleep on my arm and spread your arm
And with a few kisses your soldiers will kneel
But the sea is treacherous. I can't
**
Manliness
No one can act manly with me
When I want to see you, I see you
With poetry, you have become a melody of my song
And with love, you are the tears of my eyes
And other than that, your letters are difficult to read
**
Your drawing
How much God has been creative in drawing you
And from every star He gives you light
The moon flirts with your appearance
And the flowers throw perfume on your body
To make me love you more
**
Keep laughing
At your laughter... the flowers are laughing
Keep laughing until my days increase
It is enough that the heart is happy to see you
And it is spreading the most beautiful flowers on the roads
So that you may return and on my bed you may sleep
**
Khazun
Your car is the colour of the sky "Khazun"
Take care of it... And don't drive it
I wish I were a wheel with a universe
To carry you, to guard you, to protect you
The most beautiful girl... I am in love with her.
**
Speak
I've been waiting for you for a long time. Tell me
What's keeping you so long? I swear to God
If you're busy with a new love
I'll drive myself crazy. I'll explode with torrents
To sweep you away from this whole world
**
Forced
I don't want to love anymore, my heart
She's exhausted me so much, "Mantoura"
She doubts me and the sincerity of my love
I'll leave her... Forced, my Lord
I don't like to see her heartbroken
**
Picture
In this picture I took next to you
Your image is still haunting me
I wish I could bring you back from your travels
And tell you: Just tell me what you want
So I can revive the forgotten picture
**
Scandal
My phone isn't working
And you're upset with me over the smell
All my life I've been a soldier for your presence
Be a support for my suffering, girl
And don't cause a scandal in this community
**
Adam
If Adam is happy with his apple
And for Eve he divorced Paradise
What would have happened to him if he entered an orchard
Where there are cherries on breasts of pomegranates
I'm sure, my soul, he'll steal you from me
**
You're here
If I were given a choice Between the wealth of the universe
And a small nap in your warm embrace
The money will go away... You're here
Beside you, I see the sky without color
Every time your lips devour mine
**
Sex
Love isn't about fighting and strangling
So, you fight me every time I hold you
Love is a kiss, a tickle, and a hug
If your father wasn't longing for sex
You would have stayed in your mother's womb
**
Harsh
Don't be harsh on me
You're depriving me of seeing other women
I swear, if I glance even a little
In a dress passing by my eyes
I'll hide the woman... and reveal the dress
**
Don't be shy
Do you remember what we did last night?
Don't be shy... everyone has done it
On the bed, we recorded our deeds
And the mattress got tired from our swaying
And my body couldn't bear yours
**
Anger
Why is your mother so angry?
From the bottom of my heart, I respect her.
She doesn't know my love, truly
Tell her I won't turn away from you
She can pave the whole world
**
What are you saying?
I love it when you stay like this in front of me
Like a child, always complaining
So coy... until you fall asleep in my bed
Get the pillow... prepare a thief
And whisper: If I get closer, what will you say?
**
Sabine
I know your name on paper, "Sabine"
And in the universe, your name is a shining sun
Beware... the moon lives in "Rechdibbine"
He’s in love with you, daughter of "Shaanin"
Put guards on the house every night
**
Blue chalk
Do you think I'm bewitched by your eyes?
And I stand before you, lost in thought and mesmerized.
Many have said I've gone mad for you.
And on the ground, I sit, drawing your eyelids
With blue chalk, kneaded with loyalty.
**
Swings
Let poetry braid swings for you,
And write all my poems to its liking.
How beautiful it is, flying above the wind,
And I stand, a pillar too difficult to move.
Perhaps poetry will kiss my nose.
**
Cooking
All cooking, my sweet, I love.
Mujaddara, beans, stew.
And if your saliva is poured on my table,
I'll drink it like sweat and fill it up,
On the condition that it stays hot.
**
Number
Tell me what my number is among lovers,
And tell me if someone else stole your heart.
I don't feel your love... a guess.
You've been lying to me for about five years.
I want to bring back the words "I love you."
**
A crime
I showered you with compliments... you never asked
I piled up flowers before you
The greatest crime you committed in love
You burned the poetry and withered the flowers
And your days of betrayal never tired
**
Who are you?
Who are you? Tell me
I've covered you with kisses
You've become the most beautiful woman in my life
I'm reading it to people... pray for me
So, I can keep reading... and fall in love with you
**
Mawwal
Your father still wears the “sherwal”
And still boasts about his “tarboosh”
I swear to you, daughter of the most beautiful children
By your father's “Tarboosh”... sing a “mawwal”
The veins of my heart throb with its melody
**
Perfume
Why is the rose withered on its mother?
And all my life I smelled it and held it
Since the day you travelled to the ends of the earth
The perfume died in the flower... The colour is lost
And I have no rose left to smell
**
A gift for you
What do you want for me this Eid?
I'm confused about what to get you as a gift
Everything is cheap... Just so you can be
Above my chest, next to my heart, its strength
And I offer you, this Eid, my eyes
**
"Facebook" is starting to steal you from me
This truth is driving me crazy
You message friends everywhere
In Germany, Lebanon, Greece
And I'm all alone... and you don't even ask about me
**
I miss sitting next to you and being happy
"WhatsApp" is starting to steal my space
You're always sending messages and videos
And how am I supposed to fall asleep with just a few pictures
And you're the reality... and your body is the stage
**
Eid al-Fitr
I'll celebrate Eid al-Fitr with you, my neighbour
My Muslim sister... you who beautify the neighbourhood
Your presence in our neighbourhood is tenderness and love
How wonderful you are... how vast your heart is
That beautifies a life so treacherous
**
Bikini
Don't wear this "bikini"
All sins are embodied in it
If the old man didn't see you, he'd regret
A life that passed without you, dark and withered
The graying of his years can’t erase it.
**
Your smile
Every day I must see you before me
And feast my eyes on your constant presence
Only the smile on your lips... is my drawing
Keep smiling so my nights may bloom
And I may spend my life preoccupied with your laughter
**
Bee
If the bee is kind to the wasp
It will guard your preciousness all the time
Oh, my bee... my heart is broken
Standing guard at the honey jars
And deprived of tasting your honey
**
On Judgment Day
Your dress that flew before me
Has driven me mad...and shattered my fast
Don't take off the dress so you can protect
The most beautiful treasures my eyes have beheld
And what is more precious than losing on Judgment Day
**
I want the heart
How can I please you
When all happiness is tied to you
I offer you my eyes...you say:
I want the heart...take it inside my heart
And give me what's left of my life
**
The ignorance of sixty
How ugly you are, oh ignorance of sixty
I can no longer be of use to the beautiful ones
I try to bring back a little of my youth
I hear: The poor man's handwriting has grown
I dye my Gray hair...and swallow the knife
**
Skirt
After what "Mantoura" is upset
I don't want to see a skirt anymore
Holding her picture... I've locked my doors
And I'm tearing up the poems in my book
And my tears fall to kiss the picture
**
A brown dress
This girl, I swear, is driving me crazy
She struts around in her brown dress
And the necklace is pearls and her hair is blonde
I'm getting older... and the girl is getting younger
What more could you want from me, my heart?
**
So-and-so
Your words hurt me so much, so-and-so
You for whom I wrote songs
You said I'm a poet and a poet
And my hair is always messed up and broken
And I'm still speechless
**
A dancer
She came down to dance... She bewitched everyone
And on her lips, a red cherry
I tried on her... She doesn't need a size
Her chest is high and her figure is graceful
And the zipper on her dress isn't closed
**
Why didn't you agree?
In my poetry collection, when I read your poem,
My joy... and on my chest you slept in the evening
Get up on my bed... rest your mind
I'll sleep outside... and guard your love
And to this day I ask: Why didn't you agree?
**
My beloved
If you knew how much I missed you
You came to my embrace from your family's embrace
And said: All happiness is with you
My beloved, who is like you?
And you drown in me slowly
**
Garden
If I could draw you on the waves
I'd make the sea turn into a garden
And the birds... flocks dive, flocks fly
And I'd water your flowers with my tears
Perhaps things would work out between you and me
**
Don't rush
Don't rush... I don't want you to get caught up in it
And have your hair fly away... And my sisters come out
You'll walk at the speed of the roads
Don't drive me crazy... I haven't closed my eyelashes
Without you, my life hates my life
**
Oh, cruel one
Oh, cruel one... If you had a heart
Your heart would have guided you to your loved ones
From one young man you jump to another
Don't think this path will lead you there
You won't reach it... And your door won't open
**
Jar
If a jar is closed on its mouth
The girl surely resembles her mother
This proverb was said about your mother
I'll hold you to my chest... I'll kiss you on the mouth
And I won't I kiss her once, but I don't hug her.
**
Mountain
You're getting taller... and I'm getting shorter in your presence.
I walk as if I'm dragging your shadow.
But when I hear: I love you,
I stand tall like a mountain, its height a mess.
And behind the mountain, your children are playing.
**
Mobile
The mobile phone takes up all your time
It ruined my life... and distorted yours
We used to chat and be happy together
And wherever we sat, the place was happy
Now I have to pay for your stories
**
Madness
Don't be upset if I say your love is dead
Distances have grown between us
And like a lie, my journeys were lost
And I no longer bring up the subject of you
I realized that half of love is madness
**
Cheeks
Your cheeks were created just to be smelled
And kissed... to turn the colour of blood
You used to say: "Enough, Antar!"
What happened that made your body tense?
Like a thousand worries on your head
**
Sin
They said: Sin is originally a snake
I loved all the snakes in the world
When your hands wrapped around me
And you slowly drowned in me
Sin is so sweet, oh God
**
Fear
You stood with me in front of the door of the house
And didn't You invite me to a watering hole
You were afraid to speak... I was poisoned by your words
And from your fear, for no reason, I went mad
I'll cut out the tongues of the neighbourhood people
**
God be with you
Your busy line drove me crazy
Give me time to call you
I tried my luck from an unknown number
My phone answered, "It's off"
God be with you... I won't talk to you anymore
**
Meet me
Meet me today in the square this evening
I have so much to say to your cheeks
I need a break on your chest
She told me: But I'll be honest
I don't want this to be a sin
**
Greetings
Despite the distance, our love remains
We left our homeland... but we didn't forget our longing
She sent me greetings from her heart
I immortalized them in four or five words
And loyalty began to write our names
**
My soul's beloved
How beautiful you are... How wonderful you are
When the fragrance wafts
You walk... and I walk with you
You whisper to me... I hear you:
You are my soul's beloved
**
Lucky
Good morning, sun of my home
Why did you hide the moon in your heart?
Tell me: I love him, I adore him.
May God grant him a long and happy life.
Lucky is the young man you love.
**
Spring
I take the darkness of night from your hair
And the snow is plucking at my hair
And spring is blossoming in your life
And October is attacking mine
Don't be afraid... a mountain supports my back
**
Judas
I only read your book, O sun
And I only walked your path in my life
You must eliminate doubt and suspicion
The greatest crime is creating a Judas from me
And I lit the candle of your contentment
**
Crucified
The beautiful girl doesn't burn hearts
She gives her heart to the beloved knight
And you always add to the fire
And you rejoice in the sighs of my groans
And you leave me crucified on the path
**
The Italians are to blame
Don't shout... the neighbours will hear
Your voice is strong, the walls can't stop it
You're telling huge lies
I know, but when I expose the forgery
You'll say: The Italians are to blame
**
Dreams
No Think my love for you is a lie
My love is witnessed by God in heaven
You and I will make dreams come true
The moment your head rests on my chest
And you kiss me... and you dwell in my heart
**
Oh sea,
Lucky is your heart, oh sea, for she came down to swim... Your waves calmed her.
If she kissed a body, kiss her for me.
She wore a bikini; she'll drive me crazy.
I want to hide her from my eyes.
**
Instinct
Tell me, what does instinct mean?
And why is the body sweating and happy?
If you kiss my lips, my dear
Like a lie, it ignites a fire
And the dress falls off on its own
**
Your mother
Wants me to love you
And to live my life by your side
I have to see the smile on your face
And for your mother to be pleased and keep quiet about me
Your mother is standing in your way
**
Eyeliner
Don't put eyeliner near your eyes
God bless the one who drew the eyeliner
And the "tattoo" eyelid doesn't suit you
Go ask the people around you
The honeycomb isn't spoiled by the bee
**
A lie
That neck kiss made me dizzy
That's why my heart is pounding
What happened to me from that drunken kiss?
And all my life I've kissed women
Apparently, I'm living a lie
**
Don't swear
Why didn't you come to the market this evening?
I waited for you at a Chinese coffee shop
You swore by my life: You forgot the appointment
Don't swear to me... and don't love me
Your lies are making me cry
**
Drowning
I'm swimming... and you're swimming in front of me
And the blue swimsuit drowned me
Two straps covered your precious treasure
And the sea's waves are pulling high
And God knows where I'll drown
**
Tickling
How much I want to hold you with my eyelashes
And tickle your ignorant waist... until you faint
You shout: Leave me alone... I'll die laughing
I tell you: My heart is a coffin for you
Without you, the beats don't work
**
Rope
She put the chair next to you
And sat down... How heavy her blood and yours are
You're not a child to lengthen the rope
Your mother is always sitting next to you
And how am I supposed to smell you and he hugged you?
**
A kiss
I tried to steal a kiss
From lips more beautiful than a red rose
You refused, you screamed, and I learned my lesson
Your wedding, alas, wasn't mine
I'm sure I arrived too late
**
Crazy
Crazy, my love, he's head over heels for you
Like a rock, he longs to find you
No warmth stirs his feelings
And how can this man please you?
By God, it's hard to please you
**
Failed
I saw you winking at the young men
And flirting with them... flirting is like a volcano
And how can I turn them away from you?
And I'm old... And they're your age
I always fail with women
**
Feeling
I'll tell you what I feel when I see you:
My heart races towards you with longing
And I kiss the jasmine on your palms
And I wait until you bid farewell to your guests
So, I can devour you piece by piece
**
A space
You're trying to fool yourself with me
And all your life you dream of me
Many things cross your mind
Don't act on them... Your space shrinks
Your space is me... Oh, Noor My eyes
**
A pool
Believe me, I'm going to die laughing
When you fell into the pool
I jumped after you... I said I want to go in
In the water... Maybe we'll both get out
And I'll explain to you the meaning of manhood
**
Resurrection
You have a new groom... Your mother loves him
And that's what your brother said in front of me
And he said that I gave him a good beating
I'm going crazy... I'm going to hang him by the neck
After me, the Day of Judgment will come
**
Crazy
Crazy, my love, he's head over heels for you
Like a rock, he longs to find you
No warmth stirs his feelings
And how can this man please you?
By God, it's hard to please you
**
Failure
I saw you winking at the guys
And flirting with them... flirting is like a volcano
And how can I turn them away from you?
And I'm old... And they're your age
I always fail with women
**
Feeling
I'll tell you what I feel when I see you:
My heart races towards you with longing
And I kiss the jasmine on your palms
And I wait until you bid farewell to your guests
So, I can devour you piece by piece
**
Space
You're obsessing over me,
And you've spent your whole life dreaming of me
Many things cross your mind
Don't act on them... Your space shrinks
Your space is me... You’re the light of my eyes
**
A pool
Believe me, I'm going to die laughing
When you fell into the pool
I jumped after you... I said I want to go in
In the water... Maybe we'll both get out
And I'll explain to you the meaning of manhood
**
Resurrection
You have a new groom... Your mother loves him
And that's what your brother said in front of me
And he said that I gave him a good beating
I'm going crazy... I'm going to hang him by the neck
After me, the Day of Judgment will come
**
Wounded
What's all this talk about you?
Your name is on everyone's lips.
You were with him... they said: and your smile was bright.
After he plucks honey from you,
He'll leave you with a wounded heart.
**
Torment
I wake up in the morning to write poems,
I see you, my soul, a shining sun.
And I become jealous of myself.
And instead of happiness, I burn with fire.
The most beautiful torment I live every day.
**
Shy
Shy from me, girl, shy.
And you're trembling and turning around.
Who flirted with you? Who kissed you? Tell me.
And who expanded your femininity?
Don't run away from love, it's better for you.
**
Kisses
The master of kisses is on the neck.
The greatest sign of love, my heart.
Maybe my tongue lost the fingerprints.
And maybe my lips kissed the stars.
So that you could declare my love.
**
Broke
Why do we love boys more than girls?
And let them loose...and we can't control them?
If I were given a choice, I'd say:
You have mind-blowing treasures,
And he was created broke by his Lord.
**
Creation
If you knew what God entrusted to you,
And why creation manifested from your womb,
Your wing must flutter over creation,
And protect the offspring...If the offspring didn't dry up,
The whole world would cease to exist.
**
Tired
My mind is always tired in your absence,
And I walk thorny paths upon paths.
I don't know if I'm crazy to see you,
I don't know if I'm a student in your classes,
I don't know if I'm crucified by your laughter.
**
Diamond
I wrote poetry for shy eyes,
So that my poetry became shy of you.
I'll steal the laughter...what do you say?
And they hung their braid on the sun
And extracted the diamond from your teeth
**
Good morning
Every time you say to me: good morning
I feel all goodness before me
And the birds start dancing above me
And I pluck the sun to hang a beauty mark
On sweet cheeks... a thief's stole
**
Naked
She said, "Oh Charbel, your poetry has become 'Naked'"
I told her, "I wish you hadn't described it
You take the truth mixed up
You honoured the universe with six children
If you didn’t take off your clothes, you wouldn't give birth
**
Wool
From a kiss from your eyes, I'll faint
How would I if I didn't attack your lips?
With love, I'll never flatter
Nor boast and climb on your shoulders
And I won't lie in your blanket except with your consent
**
Flirting
Flirting poetry no longer satisfies you
You want words that haven't been said in poems
I started gathering the waves of the sea from your shores,
So, that the waves might give you the sighs of its heart,
And you would burn with fire
**
Quintet
I dedicate this quintet to your eyes
So that you may bathe me in the sea of your eyes
And I may sunbathe on the shores of your hands
I love you, I wish I could
Spend my whole life watching You
**
Don't pretend
Why do you whisper in public?
And why are you shy...and why do you run away from touch?
In secret, my hand is around your waist
Don't pretend...your secret will be revealed
A small lie can't hide the sun
**
Waiting
Until I see you, I'm wasting my day
Waiting on your path like a little child
Afraid that your absence will extinguish my fire
And my flowers will wither with time
And dust will settle on a great love
**
Beirut
When you left Beirut
Sydney went dark... and the houses grew dim
And this picture you left in the house
I felt sorry for you... I thought I'd die
You're in my eyes... and Beirut is in my heart
**
What's troubling you?
Your condition speaks of your pain
What's troubling you? What's wrong with you? Tell me
You walk as if your mind is preoccupied
And your body, alas, drags your thoughts
Surely, you're busy with someone else today
**
Mejdlaya
Mejdlaya ... How will I tell her
That I've fallen for a crazy girl
Who has taken up residence in my heart and stolen my eyes
This is my village, girl, how beautiful it is
You and she are a light from God
**
Your family
It's not right for your family to be so strict
And prevent you from meeting me
I stand like a madman calling out to you
And your window is closed in my eyes
And they never once have mercy on me
**
Sick
I knew you were sick... and your door was closed
My heart burned... I couldn't calm down
I'd give you years of my life
What good is my birthday now that the decorations are gone?
Oh, my beauty... my heart is burning
**
Stage
I'll make my chest a stage for you
So, you can dance and decorate the place
And I'll light your lips for a lifetime
And it's okay if I burn with embers
Beside you, dying... I'll be happy
**
Oppressed
From afar, I want to take your measurements
So, I can sew a skirt for this body
I know no one has kissed you with their mouth
Or wrapped you around the waist like a pipe
That's why you lived your life oppressed
**
I'm leaving
Like the wind, you're blowing away my livelihood
And you're buying dresses wholesale
And you're threatening to leave my bed
My bed is still here... but I'm leaving
Your love for me is tied to money
**
Last words
The last words written On the paper
Leaving fire and burning in my heart
We lived together... we tasted the sweet and the bitter
My hair is finished... I'm forced to write
I wish we could stay the sweetest two
**
Farewell
In my own handwriting I said I want to say goodbye
So, you know how much I'll miss
Your mouth... your eyes... your cheeks... your voice
Hands that became companions to mine
And believe me, the distance is unbearable
**
Corona
They were... and they're still envious of us
Why do we still meet?
And Corona is spreading throughout the world
I can't stay away from you... No, I can't
You're the cure, my darling
**
Repentance
I lowered my head... and said I must repent
Maybe it's a sin to love the beloved!
And I heard your voice say: Oh my eyes
The world is ruined without you and me
The peak of your faith melts upon my chest
**
A Sign
How can I catch a glimpse of you, tell me
When your window is closed, you crazy one?
Go open the window and wait
For a sign to come and tell you that
I'm standing right under your window
**
Be Strong
Don't tell me: My mother came
She's setting fire to my blood
I long to see you, I long to see you
Be strong... and show me your longing
The time has come for my flower to smell
**
Your saliva is wine
Turn on the light, don't be afraid of people
Your mouth is so bright, it wants to be kissed
You're mine... and whatever happens, happens
Your saliva is wine... have no mercy on the drunkard
Pour, until he's drunk, a thousand glasses and more
**
Afraid?
Afraid!... Of what?... Don't be afraid
The whole world is plagued by the coronavirus
It's forbidden to touch my lips
And your saliva, my love, is a healing medicine
Kiss my lips... and trust in God
**
How is my beloved?
It's been a month since I saw you in front of me
Or heard your voice calling me:
How is my dear, dark-skinned beloved?
I'm afraid, with all this distance, you'll forget me
In this "Corona" era... and you won't love me anymore
**
I'm forbidden to see you
The streets of the whole world are empty
And I'm forbidden to see you to have fun
Why has the whole universe become death
Oh, my soul's soul... and we didn't hear that voice
That said: You must worship God
**
I'm terrified
Because I love you so much, I'm terrified
That "Corona" will love you, the one no one loved
They said: He's very jealous of women
And they said: His heart is like a human's
I'm going crazy... I'm coming to stand in his way
**
The scent of the world
Between you and me, a sea with a piece of sky
And you and I, from afar, speak in whispers
I wish the clouds would carry the scent of the world
And to become a young man, I'd mess up the months of the year
And to bring you closer, I'd redraw this earth
**
I'm starting to go mad
Is it possible we'll remain like this
Without meeting, and with burning hearts?
I wrote poetry... but the poems were useless
I broke the pen... the pen was quenched by fire
And I started going crazy and burning the paper
**
Don't cry
I swear to you by God... don't cry
"Coronavirus" will pass quickly
And I'll see the smile on your face again
Like the sun, it has a shine
And this infamous thing will end
**
Mask
Your mask... I don't like it anymore
It covered your cheeks... your laughter... your mouth
"Coronavirus" is starting to tire me out
And fear, like a beast, is overpowering me
I can't hug you or smell you anymore
**
I'm lost
Facebook and WhatsApp have mercy on me
Your letters are dancing on my screen
Do me a little more of your kindness
Look in front of me... ease my doubts
I'm lost without seeing you
**
Gallows
I tried to kiss you on the cheek
You said: Be shy, this isn't the time for coquetry
Okay... just tell me what you want
No matter how far I go... I'll come back to you
So, you can hang my heart
**
Fairouz
I want to steal a song for you
That Fairouz sings... that she hums
To drive you crazy... to make you love me
And to hang you like a celestial star
And I know this isn't allowed
**
The Corona Era
In the "Corona" era, love isn't forbidden
Maybe it can cure all illnesses
I slept on your chest... I started to climb
I felt a hunger for your lips
You said: The one who kisses today, oh my!
**
Confession
I wish I could live with you for months of the year
So, I could spread carpets on your paths
And decorate us with jasmine and lilies
So, she confesses and says after the silence
I alone am beloved in this universe
**
Trapped
I've been trapped inside the house for a month
I longed to catch a glimpse of you... I peeked
I saw your house secluded and deserted
No people walking by... no talk... no light
My tears began to flow silently
**
The Bliss of Love
We lived in a time weary of itself
My sweet one... and they're killing its children
Rulers without conscience or heart
If they lived like us in the bliss of love
They wouldn't have committed crimes... nor would they have displaced their children
**
A Gift
I give you the cedars of the Lord... You said: What?
This cedar isn't yours, beware
This belongs to God... Hearts gather it
And we are all His armies in this world
I accept a gift, paying its price
**
A Song
I want to sing... but I can't
My voice was stolen... Don't laugh at me
When the light of your face shone before me
I couldn't say to you: Good morning
Nor could I sing you a song
**
Secrets
I'm ashamed to reveal the secrets:
Because of how much these people loved you
And said: Princess, and your crown is royal
I hated the world... I saw people as evil
And I started with myself Oh, my heart is broken
**
Good Friday
Tell me, what will your tears say:
Today Jesus was crucified, my love
And the weeping between us became a waterfall
Good Friday, a wound deep in my heart
And to heal the wound, we pray
**
The police are waiting.
I love you... I say it from two meters away.
I'm not allowed to get near you.
The police are waiting... they have eyes.
A fine of a thousand or two thousand.
And more... if I kiss your hands.
**
World of basil
Tereza... Oh world of basil
All the magic is poured out in you.
You are the world and the sun of the world.
Oh, rose of a happy life.
The Creator... created nothing like you.
**
Holy Saturday
Come, let's pray together on the Saturday of Love
On Holy Saturday, my Lord will rise
Come, let's kneel with all the trees
So that God may protect our love from evil
The resurrection of our Lord is in your heart and mine
**
Christ is risen
Christ is risen! I heard a ululation
I said: My brother, today your mood is good
We danced together... and you were knitting the towel
I felt that the whole universe woke up
Because of how much my heart longs for you
**
Nonsense
Don't fall in love with an old man! You told me:
Will you keep telling me this nonsense?!
I love you... and life is a heartbeat
Sweet laughter with a love poem
So, love me... and don't expect anything in return
**
My family
I'll tell you a story about my family
So, you can leave a share in your heart
A generous family, adorned with love
They don't lie, they don't withdraw, they don't bend
Except to God... even if half of them fall
**
I'm used to it
I'm used to drinking the wine of the sweetest cheeks
I'm used to summering in the highest mountains
Where the cherries are red
And the grapes are golden
And the bunch ripens on its own
**
Languages of the earth
You're upset... and I don't know how to calm you down
In what languages of the earth should I speak to you?
You don't understand me in Arabic
And I know a little English
I resorted to kisses to appease you
**
The stage
Your scent is more beautiful than scattered perfume
Come closer so I can smell you and rejoice
And I'll stand my eyes guarding your chest
And I'll fix my lips on yours like a wall
And build the stage with your body
**
Don't travel
Don't travel... I've experienced this journey before you.
Your homeland is motherhood... and your exile is death and boredom.
I cried so much... my tears have dried up.
And at the cemetery... I'm standing in line.
I'll die... if your heart is broken like mine.
**
Another person
I'm sure I'm crazy to love you
And I'll pave your path with poems
I run after you... you always reject me
I'll kill myself if I ever find out
That another person lives in your heart
**
Enough sadness
Why are you silent... and not smiling?
I've never seen the sun of the world so troubled
Enough sadness, my sweet, enough pampering
From the abundance of beauty God has given you
Beauty itself speaks for you
**
Darkness
I don't want this sun to rise anymore
Nor do I want this moon to pass by
As long as your light shines in exile
And erases the suffocating darkness in my heart
And the days of my life, silently, steal away
**
Who is more beautiful?
Who is more beautiful? Is it you, the sun?
You ask me, and your laughter is two pounds.
And your light shone when you were formed.
And since the world can't bear two suns,
One sun went out the moment you appeared.
**
Be shy!
If you only knew how my mind flew away
When I saw you standing before me.
Like a lie, you ignited a fire in my body.
And I started chatting to myself like this:
Shame on you, be shy in front of the girl, old man!
**
Flower!
Don't think the poems will end,
And I won't stop praising your eyes.
You'll stay with me, no matter where my imagination wanders.
And I'll draw you as a flower on the doorstep.
Every time you pass by, I'll gaze at you.
**
