Tell me, Qabbani
How did you bear the weight
Of such a love
In each of those moments
When you were left
To bear it
Alone
Tell me, Qabbani
How did you bear the weight
Of such a love
In each of those moments
When you were left
To bear it
Alone
The few times I pray
Are when you let me swim
Out in the open
When those greatest of waves
Pound down upon my body
Expelling the oxygen from my lungs
And with it, a hope of life
My heart becomes a whisper
I shrink down as a child
If I were a flower
They’d call me دوار الحب
Waiting patiently
For you to remember
If I hold you close enough
For long enough
That you might be jolted awake
By that ticking clock
And what once you shared
With somebody else
You might also wish
To share with me
riddled with holes
scrambling to fill
before I am lost
ګهېځ چې راپاڅېږم
د لمونځ پر ځای
ستا انتظار باسم
در عمق فساد انسان
نور حضورت
راه مرا
روشن میسازد
