To My Mom-لأمّي أقول (day 36)

I found joy in me, and happiness,
because,I was born in hands that shine with tenderness
and between hearts that gleam with joy.

When I traveled and lived alone
I thought I was inaccompanied
I thought I was free.

Until, one day, I knew the truth
that I will awlways be a prisoner.
A prisoner of shiny face,
a prisoner of memories I always loved.

Like the day I came back hurt
I feared the tears of your eyes,
So I tried to hide my secret.

I didn't know that motherhood is knowledge
of my state and all my secrets.

And the day you knew of my success
when proud and loving tears
were singing on your cheeks.

I love you my mom and I don't hide my affection
I speak of my love both secretly and loudly,

And I know that I'll be always in debt.
Even if my ink overflows recognising and thanking you.

I'll be always in debt because words never really reward
even if they were poetry.

For you, I loved all the surroundings,
and all the existance becomes bitterish in your absence.

Because the god of existance asked us to obey you,
to take care of you, and so did our prophet.

لأمّي أقول

وجدت سرورا بنفسي و بشرا ..... لأنّي ومذ كنت طفلا صغيرا

و لدت بأيد تشعّ حنانا ..... و بين قلوب تضيء سرورا

و لمّا ارتحلت و عشت وحيدا ..... ضننتني فردا ضننتني حرّا

إلى أن علمت الحقيقة يوما ..... حقيقة أنّي سأبقى أسيرا

أسيرا لبسمة وجه منير ..... أسيرا لذكرى عشقتها دهرا

كيوم رجعت عليلا فخفت ..... بكاء عيون و أخفيت أمرا

و لم ادر أنّ الأمومة علم ..... بأمري و حالي و إن كان سرّا

و بوم علمت نجاحي وغنّت ..... دموع بخدّيك حبّا فخرا

أحبّك أمّي و لا أكتم الودّ ..... د أنطق بالحبّ سرّا و جهرا

و أعلم أنّي أضلّ مدينا ..... و إن فاض حبري اعترافا و شكرا

و أبقى مدينا فليس الكلام ..... يكافئ حقّا و إن كان شعرا

لأجلك أحببت كلّ الجوار ..... و صار الوجود ببعدك مرّا

فربّ الوجود ببرّك أوصى ..... و خصّك خير البريّة ذكرا
