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

You are mine

 

Don't be angry, or upset

At the kiss of the hasty one

By God, it was a kiss

Like the taste of quince

Swift as a wink

As if it were my future

I am kissing a flower

Sweeter than a carnation

Its branches, its leaves

Have the beauty of velvet

I fear for her, my sweet one

From the recklessness of a careless mouth

If it wreaks havoc on her one night

With teeth like a sickle

You might wither like it

What profit would I have if you withered?

One kiss from you is enough for me

From whose impact you did not blush

I will spend my life in love

And you are mine... You are mine
