Favourite Illness
You are such a favourite illness of mine,
that whenever I remember you, I fall silent,
my eyes fill with tears, a sigh rises in my chest,
I can't control my feelings,
and even the whole world can't give me joy after that.
Shameless Lover
I loved and stayed by your side,
you threw me away when your need was over,
love did not get its desired worth.
When you need again,
call me then.
I promise I’ll return, forgetting my shame,
for a lover is but another name for shamelessness.
Pain of Imbalance
You have blended into my brain.
Yet you have ignored me,
you never accepted my love,
but the neurons don’t know that.
They have wrapped you around completely,
and keep sending signals that you are mine.
But the heart knows you are not mine,
tell me, will this pain of imbalance ever end?
Bad Fortune
You say everyone deceives you,
but what do you really mean, Khubayb?
Is everyone in the world bad and only you good?
Hay fool, everyone in the world is fine,
it is you who are bad, your fate that is bad.
And whatever happens to you,
is written by your own fortune.
If your fate does not allow it, tell me,
who has the power to deceive you?
Prayer
In return for love, you gave me a new moon night.
Look, may the curse of a soul never touch you again,
may no eclipse fall upon your moon-like face.
No matter how my life has gone,
I pray your life forever glows with the full moon’s light,
may you be happy.
