The Reward of Separation

A Poem from Algeria

From the day you left, I found my oasis.

Trees and flowers sprouted on the rocks.

My spring season was born in my courtyard.

Jasmine and roses sprouted as dawn broke.

The Reward of Separation

After a long time together, you accepted separation.

For you is the reward of recompense.

Today I found my comfort after weariness.

I found my comfort.

My soul found peace and my courtyard was clear.

From the day you left, I found my oasis.

Trees and flowers sprouted on the rocks.

My spring season was born in my courtyard.

Jasmine and roses sprouted as dawn broke.

A rose sprouted.

Its fragrance wafted through the garden.

It yielded honey sweeter than honeycomb.

A beauty came to me, more beautiful than gypsies.

With her, the details of my life began.

A knot in my life was untied.

A knot was untied.

The days of my life with you were like a leaf that fell.

It melted in the autumn season.

It faded with the love of a beloved. The Reprimand

With her, I saw her flaws revealed

I lived through Corona and saw the lockdown

I lived through Corona

We don’t see God’s creation, nor do they see us

Reclusive in a place that came safe

My night is like my morning, like dawn

Repressed, living with my thoughts tormented

Only patience brings the reward of the righteous

Only patience

I’m obligated to live with you for a lifetime

Who among them will bring back the news?

A picture of Wolf, we put it on top of the Kajer

Today I forgot him after a lifetime of old age

In parting from deceivers, you have a reward

After a long connection, you accepted separation

You have the reward of the reward

Today I found my comfort after boredom.
