My Happiness:

You ask me about the reasons

for my alsaeada (happiness)?

(The first is her)

She came in, alkthyr min alsaeada

(much happiness)

just synodic as days

Staring off into space

I waited on her;

Around her waist-

Ages meet;

thousands of planets revolve

No woman,

is for me but you,

my love!

Her hair longer

than she wanted-

Climbing like ivy!

Her breast

belled shaped

Absolutely, affabrous, ambitious

matches everything planned

or

drawn as pastel sketch

(The second is her)

She came out,

Bahtah alsaeada

(seeking happiness)

like clouds of smoke

if you be smoke,

my senses clouded

I strayed from the world

by being with you..

My affection flies

like a white dove;

giving me, peace of my mind

to live in your eyes only..

Despite all my hair thinning

I have stayed,

more beautiful in her eyes

with all I have written

(the last is her)

I love her

as much as

She loves me

AND

much more than that!

I embrace her

with a hayat alsaeada

(lifetime of happiness)

AND

the warmth of my breath

is attached to she:

I whispered in your ear;

I promise you

a love that never lived

I love you

enormously

as if I was created to

live for her alone..

without seeing anyone

in the universe besides she...
