يا ذا القـوام الســـمهـري

[londonmasri]

يا ذا القـوام الســـمهـري حاوي الرضاب السكري
عن ثغرك الزاهي اللـمى يروى صحـاح الجوهـري

كـم ذا التـجـافـي و البـعـاد أحرمـت أجـفـاني الرقـاد
بادر و جد و ارعى الوداد يــــا ذا الجـبـيـن الأنــو

 

[ayed]

كـم ذا التـجـافـي و البـعـاد أحرمـت أجـفـاني الرقـاد
بادر و جد و ارع الوداد يــــا ذا الجـبـيـن الأنــور

Though conveying poetry to another is very hard, here is my attempt:
O!You who is of spear-like stature(slim stature) and of sweety drool
Swarthiness of your beaming mouth tells of well-nature
How much alienation and parting! You've deprived my eyelids of sleep
Haste! Be serious! And take care of intimacy
O!You who is of the brightest brow.

thanks very much Ayed- its great to have it written down (the person who translated for me did so orally and very quickly, so this is great).

Is it a famous piece of poetry (other than being in the Sabah Fakhri song?)
