I LOVE YOU is one of Charbel Baini's books translated from Arabic into English with introduction by Dr. Mostapha Helwe

My Moon

 

-1- 

I gifted her my melody

And love in words

I pictured her as a moon

I kissed it with my lips

And said: O my moon

I beg you, smile

-2- 

Our days are weariness

Their hours are wonder

If you sleep in my tent

The reed will play

And if you invade my mouth

Gold will envelop you

-3- 

Be like the ships

Their sail is a homeland

They dive into my body

So that the body may be intoxicated

Cities do not matter to them

My palm is the city

-4- 

I say: My lady

Live in my kingdom

Its birds are a string

And you are my song

So, shine My dwelling

O sun of my hope
