Poems About Love
- The poet Nizar Qabbani states:
My beloved asks me:
What is the difference between me and the sky?
The difference, my love, is that when you smile, my dear,
I forget the sky.
Love, my dear,
Is a poem written on the moon;
Love is drawn on every leaf of the trees,
Inscribed upon
The feathers of the birds
And the raindrops.
Oh Lord, my heart is no longer sufficient,
For the one I love
Is worth the whole world.
So let there be another in my chest
Who fills the space of this world.
They still ask me about my birthday;
Note down what you are unaware of:
Your love’s date for me is my birthday.
If the genie were to emerge from his lamp
And say to me, “You have one minute,”
To choose what you desire,
From precious gemstones and emeralds,
I would choose your eyes without hesitation,
Those eyes of deep black,
Those honest eyes.
I ask my Lord
For only two things:
To protect those two eyes for me
And to add two more days to my life,
So I might write poetry
About those two eyes.
- The poet Nizar Qabbani says:
My beloved: If they ask about me one day,
Do not think too long,
Tell them proudly:
He loves me… he loves me deeply.
My dear, if they scold you one day
For how you cut your silky hair
And how you shattered a lovely vase
After nurturing it for months,
As it shared shadows and fragrances like summer in my land,
Tell them:
I cut my hair
Because the one I love prefers it short.
My princess: If we dance together
To the melody of the candles,
And in the seconds that follow,
We become beams of light,
And everyone thinks of you in my arms
As a butterfly waiting to fly,
Continue your dance in silence
And take shelter in my ribs;
And say proudly:
He loves me… he loves me deeply.
My love, if they tell you that I have
No servants or palaces,
And that I possess no diamond necklace
To adorn your delicate neck,
Tell them with confidence,
My first and last love:
It suffices me that he loves me deeply.
My beloved, oh thousand times my beloved,
My love for your eyes is enormous
And will always remain vast.
- The poet Abu Nuwas says:
You ignited the fire of love in my heart,
Then you disowned the sin;
Until I drowned in the sea of passion;
And the waves surged within my heart.
I revealed my secret, yet you forgot me;
This is not how fairness works, my love.
Oh, how I cannot escape this passion
From me; do you not fear God?
- The poet Mahmoud Darwish says:
We are lovers until the moon sleeps,
And we know that embraces and kisses
Are the food of nights of romance
And that the morning calls for my steps to continue
On a new day’s path.
We are friends; you will see me beside you,
Hand in hand,
Together we create bread and songs.
Why should we question this path… what fate it leads to?
And where did it gather our steps?
So I can say, it suffices that we walk
Together forever.
Why search for the songs of sorrow
In an ancient poetry collection…
And ask, O our love! Will it endure?
I love you like the caravans love their oasis of grass and water
And the love of the poor for his loaf of bread
As grass grows between the edges of stone.
We found ourselves in the West one day
And remain gentle always.
- The poet Ibn al-Farid says:
Increase my bewilderment with your overwhelming love,
And have mercy on a heart set ablaze by your passion.
And when I ask to see you in reality,
Allow it and do not make my answer “You shall not see.”
O heart, you promised me in their love
Patience; be cautious not to tire and protest.
For love is life; die of it
So it is your right to perish and be excused.
Tell those who approached before me and after me,
And those who witness my sorrows:
Take from me and emulate me; listen to my passions among people.
Indeed, I have been alone with my beloved, and between us
There is a secret softer than the breeze when it blows.
My vision is granted a glimpse
I longed for, hence I became famous while I was unnoticed.
So I was astonished by his beauty and majesty
And the tongue of my state spoke of me.
Direct your gaze to his beautiful visage,
Finding all beauty captured therein.
Had all beauty been a complete image,
Behold, he would be glorified and honored.
