On our first date
I race the time, can't wait

I have a new feeling, a bit strange
offering you eternal love that will never change

You are the love I have always been looking for
You are the true love I have never felt before

In front of your eyes, I am speechless
Listen to my heartbeats as words can't express

When reality has become better than fiction
And you are far more beautiful than every prediction

A princess straight from heaven you really are
I am holding a dream I have always thought very far

I am enthralled by your eyes and their magic
A time when I lose all my reason and logic

I drown into the deep sea of your eyes
Believe your heart, it never lies

You have become all the people I'd like to know
You are the secret of my happiness, you are the clue

Let's start our love journey at forever
A journey of love that ends at never

You grow a rosy flower in my heart that never withers
You gave my hearts wings and feathers

I no longer live on earth
You gave me a love knows no death

I give you a promise that will never break
I am yours forever, I will always be there for your sake

My eyes no longer see but you
Only you paint my life and draw

Every new year and I am yours and you are mine
Every new year and we are lovers' model and sign

Every new year and I love you again and again
Every new year and we are in love and will always remain

Every new year and you are all my flowers and trees
Every new year and you are all the air I breathe

Every new year and we are together
Every new year and we belong to each other

I need your eyes to see my way
I need your smile to make my day

I need your love to live my life
I need your heart to forget strife

I need your soul to have a new being
I need your mind to appreciate my feeling

I always need you by my side
I need you in my heart to reside

I need you my angel and Princess
I need you to give me eternal happiness

I need you my dear forever
Promise not to leave me, never

Days always run so fast
What is present becomes past

People constantly come and go
some are fake, some are true

Life is very weird and so strange
Nothing remains, people change

We live in a very difficult test
We go with the flow or  resist

When we love, life becomes a paradise
When we don't, the sun will never rise

To find  love, you are fortunate
Life smiles to you and so does fate

Life is a mixture of day and night
Even our sky is dark and  bright

To live in peace, we must understand
Life consists of a sky and land

Happiness lies in our satisfaction
So we must accept the contradiction

Everyone needs someone to care for
Everybody needs someone to love and adore

Everyone needs someone in joy and torture
To share their beloved in present and future

To live alone, life is so bitter
To live in love, life is much better

Come closer, much closer to me
Let's make one loving entity

Stay with me in my life
To bear pains and strife

Come closer touch my love and feel
Cure my heart wounds and heal

Make me feel alive again
You dwell my heart and brain

I see rosy dreams in your eyes
You have become my land and skies

Life will come back again to earth
And give it a new being, a new birth

Come closer, don't go away
Deep inside my hear reside and stay

You are the joy of my life and cure
The relief of my pains I never tasted before

The sun of my love to you will never set
You have enthralled my heart since we met

We can touch the sky together
Our love created flowers that don't wither

Our love makes trees swing in the wind
Carrying the longing my heart and soul send

My love runs with each drop of the falling rain
Your love runs with each drop of blood in my vein

Because of you my heart can beat again
You gave my life a meaning that no words can explain

I always have a dream
Flowing into my veins like a stream

Throughout my life I wander about
Having deep faith to reach it, no doubt

I always keep it in my heart and mind
I am sure one day I will get it and find

I dream of a new world with no pain
A peaceful world, not insane

I dream of a world  full of peace and love
Where birds never stop singing and fluttering above

I dream of a world where lovers never separate
Forever together united by fate

I dream of a world full of trees and flowers
Where love, peace and brotherhood its only powers

I dream all people in one language they all speak
Where love ties and peaceful relations never break

I dream the world becomes fair and just
Where wars and conflicts become a very far past

I dream all people have the same feelings
All people become true human beings

I hope my dream comes true one day
And  "peace" becomes the only word people can say

As you want, be mad
Hurt my feelings, you once had

Break the vases and mirror together
Threaten to love another

It is nothing, whatever you say
Whatever you do, no attention I pay

You are like kids, my lover
Even if you hurt me, I will love you forever

On being mad, how wonderful you are!
Without waves or sky, there wouldn't be sea or star

Stormy or angry, forever will be
My heart is the forgiveness you see

Be mad, will never answer you with defy
Never answer despite your shouts and cry

You are just a kid full of vanity
And birds never punish their kids but always show pity

If I am boring, just desert me
And accuse me, fate and destiny

Too many tears and too much grief by my side
Keeping silence is pride, grief is pride

If you are too tired to stay
Life is full of black and green eyed girls to play

When you need to see me
When you miss my affection to see

Come back to my heart, just try
In my life, you are the air, the land and sky

Be mad whenever you desire
Then go and let me taste fire

But one day you must come back and know
Loyalty is me and God created me for you
A translated poem from Arabic by me, written by Nezar Qabany.

My youth? Long gone,
and the now-young
have slashed their veins.

Our heady days are ash,
the wilderness of our dreams
has vanished like a mirage,

night smashed our hope, and we
had to swallow all that.
That’s destiny for you.

Why gather in the world
of yearning? Why not keep
us apart? Don’t ask me

how we got lost;
we were mixed up back then,
living love one day,

missing it the next,
so don’t blame me if I turn
our life into song: I live

in the poem’s ever-stream.
Do you see the clump of days
left like flowers in the night?

Don’t be like roses people
toss in the streets the way night
did us, destiny’s playthings.

Despite the map of my wounds,
I got lost. Despite the gag
of the past, I’ll sing on.
A translated poem from Arabic by Fogle and I.
