Delayed Realisation
In search of company I sold myself thinking in return I would gain their importance, their love.
In the end I bought sorrow at my own price and came back.
At this late hour I realised, I came alone, I will leave alone.
What was the need to sell myself to momentary companions and buy sorrow in the name of happiness?
Why did this understanding not come to you earlier Khubayb?
Endurance
As much as I broke, did I ever show that much?
As much as was my endurance, you gave pain even more than that.
We Could Not Become One
At the turn where we last met,
I was still standing there.
I thought,
you would return, come and hold me tight.
But you did not return,
we too could not become one.
I Understand Everything
Tell me, you are the darling daughter of your parents,
by being stubborn you got everything you wanted.
Was it only with me that you failed?
I understand, I understand everything, I am not that naïve either.
The Tearful Eyes Without You
You are not in my destiny,
yet I wander the whole suburb with you in my heart.
Days pass somehow,
at night tears roll across the fields of my eyes.
I fear the light of night,
I feel ashamed to show the tearfulness of eyes without you.
