Poetry of the Poet Ibrahim Nagy on Love
- The poet expresses:
Your love is a pure temple for me,
Its pillars built from my fondness.
I have pledged loyalty to its altar,
And ignited in it passion from my candles.
Its edges were raised by my tears,
And its ribs built from my ribs.
Whoever has seen a structure in existence,
Built on pillars of tears?
- He also says:
I loved Mai with a love unmatched,
A love in which I spent my entire life.
I cherish my life that is close to Mai; and
What has passed without her is merely lost time.
Oh Mai, my second heart, I live through it,
Even if it is beyond my belief that I am with it.
Oh fragment of the essence of the tender-hearted,
With every love that the Almighty has embedded in it.
- He further states:
I love you even if
You do not settle your debts with me one day.
I don’t mind if you betray me or
Distance causes your loyalty to waver.
Oh bird, you flew from
Someone who would never betray you.
Every time you return, you see chains,
And you’ll find me your captive.
Ask the days if the days have withheld anything from you.
How many times have I suffered and yearned, yet I haven’t erased your doubts?
My wound cried out to you; believe me,
Oh archer, you have pierced me.
When I sought mercy with my palms
And kissed your eyes.

Beautiful Poems About Yearning
- The poet Ibn Jubair Ash-Shatibi says:
My yearning for three places is long,
To which the travel does not lead but to them.
Indeed, the soul has in the sky of hopes,
A bird that only circles around them.
Its wing has been clipped, so it is frail;
Every day it hopes to fall there.
- The poet Qays ibn al-Mulawah states:
We go mad for Layla, and madness prevails,
For in her love, my mind is nearly off the rails.
Her love, it deeply embeds in my core,
And leaves my insides in flames ashore.
It streams tears from my eyes in a flood,
And in anger, my tears form a stream of blood.
Only love for Layla is enough for me;
Madness flows as I wander free.
Oh Lord, draw near my loved ones fair,
And grant me my desires, you who are aware.
Cool my flames and extinguish my agony,
For with you, the harshest remains serene.
- The poet Al-Abbas ibn Al-Ahnaf mentions:
Oh moon, bright and luminous,
Look keenly—do you perceive?
Behold your likeness in its beauty,
Perhaps you may reach or know.
For I come to you solitary,
And I share with you what I conceal.
While doom surrounds it, and misfortune holds,
The fox and the hunched race unfold.
The delay is long; the beloved has strayed,
And I cannot awaken, nor can I bear.
My heart is content with yearning,
While my eyes reject sleep—declining.
Oh you who blame my foolishness in this guise,
What would become of you if you weren’t able to empathize?
- The poet Ibn Al-Naqeeb concludes:
O beloved, return to us once more,
And walk your path among the loyal.
Perhaps the bonded weave repeats,
And the dove rests in the leafy span.
Why has your promise turned to a distant tale?
When yearning is neither diminishing nor frail?
Oh, how I cherish your company; what can I tell?
After my great yearning held sway over me well.
As for me, my hands have shaken off hope,
If it does not lead to a pleasant scope.
Yet I bend my friend to the edge of pain,
Those whose wings expand to take flight again.
You severed ties, we drifted away,
And the many manners of recognition sway.
Time erodes trust; where is loyalty in the past?
Indeed, you came as a friend but you aren’t honest.
Hold to your promise: loyalty is before all,
Love is cherished in every tongue’s call.
This cannot reflect the manners of the noble,
A testament to their actions and the bond they behold.
So confine your life; cherish its wisdom,
For a person should hold dear their friends and alliance.
Do not deny the friend’s rights and turn away;
He is the first, and she the second, I say.
