Poem by Sheikh Hamdan (Fazza) for his mother Sheikha Hind.
To my mother
For all its vast ocean, Dubai seems small
Because its sun has disappeared
Weep, Dubai`s deserts and trees
And the birds have lost their will to sing
And Zabeel, its palace darkened
Only the echo replies
And stars seek their full moon
Which will illuminate the dark black night
Oh candle and light of our house
Oh mother,with yearning, I am burning
If my verses are not enough
My sighs show my yearning
She lends her fragrance to the breeze
Scented flowers are green with envy
The heart beats with with her memory
The vision of her in my eye sleeps
My Allah bestow long life upon her
To stay with us so long
And bring her soon from her travels
By His will she will return in good health
For all its vast ocean, Dubai seems small
Because its sun has disappeared
Weep, Dubai`s deserts and trees
And the birds have lost their will to sing
And Zabeel, its palace darkened
Only the echo replies
And stars seek their full moon
Which will illuminate the dark black night
Oh candle and light of our house
Oh mother,with yearning, I am burning
If my verses are not enough
My sighs show my yearning
She lends her fragrance to the breeze
Scented flowers are green with envy
The heart beats with with her memory
The vision of her in my eye sleeps
My Allah bestow long life upon her
To stay with us so long
And bring her soon from her travels
By His will she will return in good health
Amen!!
ReplyDeletea child, at any age, without a mother is lost in the abyss of the universum. There is no greater love than that of the mother, for a child.
