Expressions for Your Loved One

- Love means being satisfied with you, yet never feeling satiated.
- All I desire is for you to be a permanent part of my life.
- I loved you so deeply that when you are away, it feels as if everything else disappears with you.
- With you, I can be my true self without pretense or flattery; you love me as I am, and I adore you as you are.
- I want to be something beautiful in your life, bringing a smile to your face every time you think of me.
- If loving you is wrong, then I don’t wish to be right.
- You have bound me to you; even in your absence, I can feel your presence no matter the distance.
- What a joy it is to sense you in my mind, see you in my heart, and love you with my soul.
- I cherish the sound of your voice when you try to mimic my accent and speak as if you were me.
- Since I fell in love with you, everything I see resonates with you; do you know why? Because you are my everything.
- After you, my heart shall not love anyone else; before you, I knew nothing of love.
- I loved you with a passion that, if it were to transform into water, would flood the entire world.
- If love were merely words, my pens would be exhausted, yet love is a spirit to be given; will my spirit suffice for you?

Beautiful Expressions for Your Beloved
- In the silence of the night, among whispers of love and admiration, it is just you and I. The moon and stars share our love without fatigue, while the sun celebrates with a greeting to all lovers. Yet you move on, and I foolishly search among clouds and moons for a whisper from you, as the sun rises and quietly mourns my sorrow.
- My beloved, I love you so much that my heart has no space left to love anything else. My affection is such that I can’t bring myself to love anyone but you.
- You are incredibly beautiful yet distant, your beauty like cool air and the peace after tears. The world doesn’t allow us to meet, and because you don’t see me before you, and you are indifferent and know me so little, let us sing with the angels a song of mourning.
- How I adored the sadness during your absence, and how I cherished love in your presence. Please don’t turn me into a lover of sorrows, but a lover of you. A lover who plays a sweet melody with the harp of words, to delight you with joy and song—a lover who dances like raindrops on your lovely hair, nourishing you with pure honey.
- When you are with me, I feel my life has meaning; when you are away, life feels tasteless and colorless, until every hue appears dull without you.
- My love for you knows no bounds. My passion for you has no end. My feelings for you have no description. My life has no purpose without you. Beloved, I stumbled into your eyes, and my heart fell.
- You are not a dream that I see when I sleep; you are a dream that keeps me awake.
- My love, your presence has redrawn the map of my life; it can only be navigated by two bodies sharing one heart.
- Poets struggle to portray your femininity, for all letters fall silent in the face of your beauty. My brushes hesitate to paint, and my pen to write, for your face is an ocean with no port in sight.
Touching Expressions of Reproach for Your Loved One
- My sighs toward you are filled with reproach, and all my signals are letters. If secrets emerge, they are messages; can the words of a lover be answered?
- In my life, I have never shaken hands as I do with you. Rise and greet my heart before my hand, and remember the words of my love for you. Do not leave my life without reason; scold me but do not abandon me, for in abandonment lies a date with death.
- There is a matter that cannot be easily ignored; a feeling that is not easily overlooked. A long reproach resides within you that is difficult to suppress, and revealing it would be an insult. Some things are not as simple as they appear.
- If your absence brings you satisfaction, take what remains of my reproach and plant it in my heart once more; I must endure the fate of sorrow.
- In absence, we see our loved ones more clearly and discern their influence more precisely. For in their absence, our love for them deepens while our love for ourselves diminishes.
- For those who have departed, there are letters infused with longing and desire, blending grief and yearning with reproach and hope for reunion.
- God will not forget your silence, nor the reproach you held back, nor your suppressed anguish, nor the pain you bore. Trust in God and be assured.
- It is hard for genuine love to end over trivial matters, and it is even harder for separation to continue when both parties await a sign from the other to return.
- How can you treat me this way when my heart, mind, and soul were all yours? How could you betray my longing, hurt me, and leave me without reason? Stand and reproach me instead of avoiding me. Listen, so we do not suffer; embrace me when you can, do not reproach and leave.
- I fear reproaches may be misunderstood as hatred, silence as neglect, words I might regret, and a departure that will pain me tomorrow.
Lovely Poems for Your Beloved
- As Al-Buhturi says:
My beloved conceals the truth from the world but
When our eyes meet, love is revealed.
He distances himself in our meetings, yet his heart is
Close even if he appears far away.
He may turn away while love for him approaches,
If he fears a glance or a watching eye.
Our eyes speak when we encounter each other,
While our tongues and hearts stand guard.
- As Bahaa ad-Din Zuhair says:
Life is bleak when you are absent, my love,
So tell me, when will you return?
My soul withers without your presence,
What can my precious spirit create without you?
It brings me joy for you to be safe and blessed,
And I am content with that alone.
What does love mean if I lose it for you?
And are tears wasted if shed for you?
If another comes, I shall not look at them,
And if they call, I shall not listen.
Like Moses, cast away by his mother,
Desperate for nurture I cannot have.
I fear my beloved has changed from what I knew,
If not, then there is no justification for our lack of union.
He departed angered, and I, with no sight of him,
Now the fourth day has passed today.
I believe his intent is to sever the bond between us,
And the glance becomes a cutting sword.
I, however, endure this coldness,
In hopes my beloved will return with gentleness.
If you might, my messenger, convey to him,
A dear one is in distress and you are his solace.
I swear my heart has felt no relief,
Nor have my tears dried from my longing for him.
I’ve humbled myself until my envious admirer
Turned into a friend in love.
So don’t reject the submission you know,
I am nothing but love, humble in my devotion.
