Kathem Al Saher
Oulli Ahiboka:
Qolli ahiboka, kay tazeeda wasamati
Fa be ghair hobiki la akoono gameelan.
Qolli ahiboka kay taseera asaba-ee dahaban
Wa tosbeha gabhti kandeelan.
Alan akoliha! Wala tataradadi.
Baadan hawa la yakbalo takjilan
Saghir el takwim law ahbabtini,
Amho fesoolan aw adif fesoolan.
We saientahi el asr el kadim ala yadi,
We akim azimatan el nisa badilan.
Malikoon ana law tosbihina habibati.
Aghzo el shimoos marikaban we kheyoolan.
La takhjali mini fa hazi forsati,
Le akoon bein el ashikina rasoolan.
Translation:
Tell me, "I Love You", so my beauty may increase.
For without your love, I can't be beautiful.
Tell me, "I Love You", so my fingers can turn to gold.
And my brow can light up like a candle.
Say it now! And do not hesitate,
For some love cannot stand to wait.
I would change the calendar if you loved me,
Erase seasons, or add seasons.
The old period would end under my hands,
And I would establish a kingdom of women in its place.
I would be a king if you were my lover.
I would invade the suns with ships and horses
Do not be shy from me for this is my opportunity,
To be among lovers a prophet.
