Ma Yeshbahoonak — No One Compares to You
Love poem · Lyrics by: Meleih Almeleihi
English rendering of the meaning. The Arabic text is the original; this translation does not reproduce its metre or rhyme.
ما يشبهونك بالحكي والسوالف
ما يشبهونك كلهم منك يغارون
No one compares to you in speech or conversation. None are like you; they all envy you.
بيني وبينك في المحبة تآلف
لو حاول العذال مهما يسوون
There is harmony between us in love, whatever our critics may try to do.
وأنا على عهد المحبين حالف
أنك وحيد بدنيتي لو يعرفون
I have sworn the lovers’ pledge: you are the only one in my world, if only they knew.
وإن كان قصّر بعضنا ما يخالف
قلبي يحبك ما بها شك وظنون
If either of us falls short, it does not matter. My heart loves you without doubt or suspicion.
لو غبت عني يصبح القلب تالف
يا فارقٍ بالزين عن كل مزيون
When you are away, my heart is undone. Your beauty sets you apart from every beautiful face.
دوم يتجدد حبنا ويتحالف
لا صار فينا الحب ثابت ومصيون
Our love keeps renewing its bond, so long as it remains steadfast and protected within us.
يا صاحبي قلبي وقلبك توالف
والعقل بك هايم ومغرم ومجنون
My beloved, our hearts are in harmony. My mind wanders in love with you, captivated beyond reason.
أشتاق لك والشوق من وقت سالف
شوقٍ رسم طيفك وسط قلب وعيون
I miss you with a longing that began long ago, a longing that has drawn your image in my heart and eyes.
Meleih Almeleihi
