Latifa - The World Blames Me

The world blames me if I love him
As if I created love and invented it
As if I drew it on the cheeks of roses
As If I’m the one who…
Taught the bird in the sky
And in the fields of wheat, planted it
And in the waters of the ocean, melted it
As if I’m the one who…
Like the beautiful moon in the sky
Hung it.
The world blames me if
I name who I love, or mentioned him
As if I am love
And its mother…and its sister    

This love that came
From where I awaited it
Is different than everything I knew
Is different than everything I read
And everything I heard
Had I known that it was
A type of addiction…I would not have become addicted
If I had known that it was a door full of wind…I would not have opened it
If I had know that it was
A match…I would not have lit it
This love…is the most violent love I’ve lived
And I wish that when it came to me with its
Hand opened to me…I pushed it away
And I wish that before it killed me...I killed it

This love that I see at night
On my curtains…
I see it...on my clothes
And in my scent…and in my bracelets
I see it…drawn on my palm
I see it…carved in my emotions
Had they informed me that it is a playful and noisy child, I would not have let it in
And that it would break the glass in my heart, I would not have let it
Had they informed me
It would burn the fire in minutes
And turn things upside down in minutes
And paint the walls red and blue and minutes
I would have expelled it.

Oh precious one that
Would make God pleased with me…if I loved him
This love is the most beautiful love I have lived
Most wonderful love I have lived
And I wish that when he came to me as a visitor
With roses, I had encircled him
I wish that when he came to me crying
I had opened my doors for him…and kissed him.


لطيفة - تلومني الدنيا
قصيدة نزار قباني


تلومني الدنيا إذا أحببتهُ

كأنني.. أنا خلقتُ الحبَّ واخترعتُهُ

كأنني أنا على خدودِ الوردِ قد رسمتهُ

كأنني أنا التي..

للطيرِ في السماءِ قد علّمتهُ

وفي حقولِ القمحِ قد زرعتهُ

وفي مياهِ البحرِ قد ذوّبتهُ..

كأنني.. أنا التي

كالقمرِ الجميلِ في السماءِ..

قد علّقتُه..

تلومُني الدنيا إذا..

سمّيتُ منْ أحبُّ.. أو ذكرتُهُ..

كأنني أنا الهوى..

وأمُّهُ.. وأختُهُ..

هذا الهوى الذي أتى..

من حيثُ ما انتظرتهُ

مختلفٌ عن كلِّ ما عرفتهُ

مختلفٌ عن كلِّ ما قرأتهُ

وكلِّ ما سمعتهُ

لو كنتُ أدري أنهُ..

نوعٌ منَ الإدمانِ.. ما أدمنتهُ

لو كنتُ أدري أنهُ..

بابٌ كثيرُ الريحِ.. ما فتحتهُ

لو كنتُ أدري أنهُ..

عودٌ من الكبريتِ.. ما أشعلتهُ

هذا الهوى.. أعنفُ حبٍّ عشتهُ

فليتني حينَ أتاني فاتحاً

يديهِ لي.. رددْتُهُ

وليتني من قبلِ أن يقتلَني.. قتلتُهُ..

هذا الهوى الذي أراهُ في الليلِ..

على ستائري..

أراهُ.. في ثوبي..

وفي عطري.. وفي أساوري

أراهُ.. مرسوماً على وجهِ يدي..

أراهُ منقوشاً على مشاعري

لو أخبروني أنهُ

طفلٌ كثيرُ اللهوِ والضوضاءِ ما أدخلتهُ

وأنهُ سيكسرُ الزجاجَ في قلبي لما تركتهُ

لو أخبروني أنهُ..

سيضرمُ النيرانَ في دقائقٍ

ويقلبُ الأشياءَ في دقائقٍ

ويصبغُ الجدرانَ بالأحمرِ والأزرقِ في دقائقٍ

لكنتُ قد طردتهُ..

يا أيّها الغالي الذي..

أرضيتُ عني الله.. إذْ أحببتهُ

هذا الهوى أجملُ حبٍّ عشتُهُ

أروعُ حبٍّ عشتهُ

فليتني حينَ أتاني زائراً

بالوردِ قد طوّقتهُ..

وليتني حينَ أتاني باكياً

فتحتُ أبوابي لهُ.. وبستهُ

Asmahan - O Birds / أسمهان - يا طيور

Asmahan - O Birds O birds Sing of my love and chant my passion and hopes To the one who is right beside me not paying attention to what's happening to me (i.e. in her love) I complain to him and he smiles and makes me grow fonder of him O birds Describe him my state of sleeplessness and sobbing (literally tears) The birds sang the sweetest words from the treetops The branches swayed from the felicity of their melodies And my heart was infatuated And the breeze blew gently carrying their beautiful sound As the flowers emanated the fragrance of longing And the brook sang along with them The air filled with tenderness sending away my longing and disgrace Oh how I hope his affection and love and favor will be mine He's happy with his handsomeness and youth, devoid of sorrows If he was in love, sleepless, feeling what I feel He would cry from his torment and wail along with the crying birds (literally, the curlew, which apparently is a bird that makes a crying sound, we don
