The Most Beautiful Words for a Loved One
- I am addicted to your love, and my heart is constantly reminded of you.
- Life is composed of pages, and you are the most beautiful page of all; I can neither fold nor discard it, for it is you who heals my wounds. My beloved, the longing for you is killing me—you are always in my thoughts, both day and night. If everyone were like you, loyalty would be a crown on every being.
- The most wonderful thing is to feel love, but what is even more beautiful is to be felt by the one you love.
- What gift can I give you on this holiday… my angel, when everything you have is with you? I possess nothing dearer than my soul, and my soul is bound to you.
- I love you with all that this word encompasses, with every emotion that aches to see you, with all my yearning to hear your voice, and with all its musical notes. I love you with all the burdens this word carries; I declare it just to you and do not wish to hear it from anyone else. For no one has made me truly feel love like you have, as you are both love and feeling for me—you taught me what feelings truly are.
- My love, when I sleep, I dream of seeing you in reality; when I wake, I hope to encounter you again in my dreams.
- The longing for you binds me with chains of iron; every time I break free from one, memories renew it. Tell me, how can I live while your heart is far from mine? How sweet is my torment while my soul demands more? What is love if not a kingdom to which we are but slaves? My love, remember me for the longing is relentless.
- Life has two tears: the tear of reunion and the tear of parting. If days do not bring us together, then dreams will unite us. If dreams do not bring us together, then memories and the beauty of hope and meeting will. If your ship docks on the shores of memories, make me one of its passengers.
- Love is a spirit and you are its meaning; beauty is a word, and you are its embodiment. My hopes were fulfilled by seeing you, and I enjoyed the dream of your vision—my sweetness when I comfort my eyes, my delight when my heart confides in you.
The Most Beautiful Words for a Beloved
- My beloved, you are the embodiment of innocence, the essence of beauty in its enchantment, and the pinnacle of love with your exquisite fragrance. You are the shining hope, the flower kissed by the dewdrops, the dreamy moon gliding through the summer nights illuminating the expanse—you are childhood dreams, a gift from the heavens to the earth, and you possess a magic that captivates hearts.
- On the balconies of my heart, a wish awakens, longing for your closeness, as life flourishes within the safety of your presence.
- Remember me whenever dawn breaks, whenever the universe awakens with open wings, as the lilac blossoms drink its colors from the eyelashes of the sun.
- I have fallen in love with you and made my decision—who should I present my excuses to? There is no authority in love that surpasses mine; my opinion is mine, and my choice is my own.
- My beloved, you do not leave my mind because I cannot think of anything other than you… I do not just love you; I adore you and cherish you. If you were to be absent from me, I would not mourn, for I would die if you are far away. I do not live for you, my beloved, I would die for you.
- How can I erase you from the pages of my memory when you are etched in my heart like an inscription on stone? I love you, you who dwell in my blood, whether you are in China or on the moon; there is something of the unknown in you that I wish to explore, something profound and destined.
- You tell me that I am your prince, encouraging me to move forward and wishing the best for me. In your heart, a deep love reminds me every time you call that I am an exceptional and special man.
- My beloved, lean against the pine tree in my heart so that the roots of tenderness do not wither; your hair flows like the sea’s embrace between two dreams, intertwining my essence with yours in eternal sorrow.
- Oh, will you extend your arms to me? I long to be engulfed in the noise of your clouds, for a longing seizes me and takes me to you with fervor.
The Most Beautiful Reproaches for a Loved One
- My sighs towards you are reproaches, and all my signals to you are messages. If secrets arise, they are merely letters; do letters of love warrant a reply?
- There are matters that cannot be easily overcome, feelings that cannot be disregarded. There exists a long reproach within you that is difficult to contain, and revealing it can feel like an insult. Some things are not as simple as they seem.
- I have learned to speak the language of silence for your sake; I choose not to reproach you and bitterly say that you have let me down.
- In all my life, I have never shaken hands like yours. So, rise and shake my heart before my hand, and remember the words of my love and passion for you; do not leave my life without reason. Reproach me but do not abandon me, for departure is a rendezvous with death.
- How I wished you would do something to make me feel that you deserve every struggle I endure for you.
- A message of reproach was discovered after her death: “I only wished that you could feel me, but you never did.”
- How can you treat me like this when my heart, mind, and soul belong to you? How could you betray my longing, wound me, and leave me without reason? Stand and reproach me, do not evade me, and listen to me so we don’t suffer; shake my hand when you can, and do not reproach me and leave.
- I fear that reproaches will be understood as hatred, that silence will be interpreted as neglect, that words may lead me to regret, and that tomorrow’s departure will cause me pain.
- If your absence brings you peace, then take the remnants of my reproach, and plant within my heart patience for the fate of my affliction.
- To love me means to battle circumstances for my sake, not to fight against me in the name of circumstances.
- It is painful to need you and not find you, to long for you and not speak to you, and to love you yet not be with you.
- I no longer wish to reproach you; be with me as you wish to be.
- I remain bewildered with you—do you love me, or do you only love the attention I give you?
A Poem for a Lover
By Manie Saeed Al-Atyba:
The beloved imposes their allure, yet remains evasive,
Refusing with our suffering to ever be satisfied.
What can I do, bound by love,
I called out, but they insisted on not hearing me.
And I marvel at a heart that softens for a tyrant,
And despite its reluctance, can still submit.
My heart answers, do not blame me for love,
For destiny is a weight we cannot lift.
And injustice in the beloved’s law is fairness,
No matter how cruel, you were my devoted lover.
And I delighted in their voice and tenderness,
As gestures ensnared my very soul.
The moon shines from the beloved’s face,
And the fragrance of the cheeks blossoms.
Dawn arises from the splendor of their brow,
And the sun melts within their eyes to shine.
Oh Lord of this universe, You created it,
And adorned it with beauty, making you the innovator.
You made it a kingdom for my heart’s sovereign,
When they sat upon the throne of beauty.
The ship of our love sailed in this sea,
With my heart as its sail, yearning.
It danced with the winds of love, swaying,
But its destined harbor has become lost.
Oh companion, take a message to the beloved,
Perhaps they will see the tears between the lines.
Convey to them that I am consumed by love,
And my heart shatters from the heat of separation.
There is no good in parting; let us embrace our fate,
For the best of all is to be united once more.
