VEIL
Great loves
Never wear veils
The fate of life remains
Shadow of memories
Without crown…
***
WE LOVE EACH OTHER
I loved you my way
You loved me your way
We were not satisfied,
The way we loved each other!
Most important
We loved each other
How: yesterday
Today, tomorrow
We love each other…

LOVE
Took a long time to say
I love you
Very briefly to say
I don’t love you
The sea wave takes the word
Back by the course of the river
Swinging the Swallow wings
Do not hurt the lovers
(Translated by Naser Qamili)
