DAMASCUS (SHAM)
Damascus (Sham),
how wonderful you are,
with your beauty,
your illumination,
your streets,
your magnificent mosques,
your great personalities,
your history,
your people,
your girls...
I miss you so much
ya Sham.
I miss smelling your fragrance,
yours ya Sham,
I miss your people,
oh wonderful Sham,
I miss your ‘Ilm (knowledge),
ya ‘Sham ash-Shareef’,
I miss your girls,
I miss my petal, ya Sham...
It’s been so long since I smelt your aroma,
it’s been so long since I enjoyed your gardens,
it’s been so long since I touched your petals,
it’s been so long since I touched you,
it’s been so long since I looked at you,
it’s been so long since I felt you...
Ya Sham, I love you so much,
with everything within you...
I will return again,
wait for me, soon, inshaAllah,
to have your nectar again,
and I wish, I please,
to die there,
beside you...
I love you,
ya Sham...
