البارحه - Rashed Al-Majed traduction en anglais

البارحه

البارحه يوم الخلايق نياما
بيحت من كثر البكا كل مكنون
قمت أتوجد له وانثر علامه
من موق عيني دمعها كان مخزون
ولي ونتن من سمعها مايناما
كني صويبن بين الاظلاع مطلوع
والا كما ونت كثير السلامه
خلوه ربعه للمعادين مديون

والا فونت راعبية حمامه
غادن ذكرها والقوانيص يرمون
تسمع لها بين الجرايد حطاما
ومن نوحها تدعي المواليف يبكون
والا رضيعن جرعوه الفطامه
امه غدت قبل اربعينه يتمون
جاها القضا من بعد شهر الصيامه
صافي الجبين بثاني العيد مدفون

حطوا عليه من الخرج ثوب خاما
وقاموا عليه من الترايب يهلون
راحوا بها حزت صلاة الاماما
عند الدفن قاموا له الله يدعون
لرضاه والجنه وحسن الختاما
ودموع عيني فوق خدي يهلون
ياقبر اسقي ثراك القماما
مزنن من الرحمه عليها يصبون

ياليت اغصان النفل والخزاما
تنبت على قبرن به اليوم مدفون
مرحوم ياللي مامشى بالملامه
جيران بيته راح مامنه يشكون
اخذت انا عشرة اعواما
مامثلهن بكيمتن مالها لون
والله كنه ياعرب صرف عاما
وياعونت الله صرف الايام وشلون

واكثر اهمومي من بزورن يتاما
ان شفتهم قدام وجهي يبكون
ان قلت لاتبكون قالوا علاما
نبكي ويبكي مثلنا كلمحزون
قلت السبب تبكون قالو يتاما
قلت اليتيم انا وانتم تسجون
مع البزور وكل جرحن يلاما
الا جروح بخاطري مايطيبون

قمت اتشكى عند ربعن عدامه
جوني على فرقا خليلي يعزون
قالوا تزوج وانس لامه بلامه
ترى العذاره عن بعضهم يسلون
اخاف انا من غاديات الذمامه
اللي على ضيم الدهر مايتاقون
او واحده مع عقله بالتماما
تضحك واهي تلدغ على الجبد بالهون

توذي عيالي بالنهروالكلاما
وانا تجرعني من المر بصحون
والله لولا هالبزور اليتاما
واخاف عليهم من السكه يضيعون
لقول كل البيض عقبه حراما
واصبر كما يصبر على الحبس مسجون
عليه مني كل يومن سلاما
عدد حجيج البيت واللي يطوفون

صلوا على سيد جميع الاناما

على النبي ياللي حظرتوا تصلون

Last Night

Last night while people were asleep
I cried my heart out and revealed my every secret
I rose to moan for him and shed my tears
From the depths of my eyes, tears that had been stored away
And I cried until whoever heard me could no longer sleep
As if I were a pigeon whose nest had been stolen
Or like a dove that had lost its mate
Leaving its companions in debt to their enemies

Or perhaps I became a mourning dove
Whose cooing brings tears to the eyes
You hear its cries amidst the branches
And its lamentations make the nightingales weep
Or like an infant who has been weaned too soon
Whose mother left before his fortieth day
Fate struck after the month of fasting
And he was buried on the second day of Eid with his face towards Mecca

They covered him with a fine cloth from Al-Kharj
And the tribes gathered around him and mourned
They carried him to the mosque for the funeral prayer
And as they buried him, they prayed to God
For his forgiveness, for Paradise, and for a good end
And the tears streamed down my cheeks
O grave, water his soil with the purest rain
May clouds of mercy pour upon him

I wish that the branches of the lotus and the rue
Would grow upon the grave where he lies buried today
May he rest in peace, for he never walked in blame
His neighbors never complained about him
I have spent ten years since he left
Years that have passed like colorless shadows
By God, it seems as if I have only spent a year
And with the help of God, I will endure the days, no matter how hard they may be

My greatest sorrow comes from my orphaned children
When I see them weeping before me
If I tell them not to cry, they ask why
We weep, they say, as do those who mourn
I asked why they wept, and they said, because they are orphans
I said that I am the orphan, and you are imprisoned
With the orphans and all their wounds
But there are wounds in my heart that will never heal

I sought consolation from my friends
They came to me to offer their condolences for the loss of my beloved
They said, "Marry and forget your troubles"
"After all, not all women are the same"
But I fear the women who dwell in darkness
Those who do not care about the pain of others
Or perhaps a woman who is fully in control of her mind
Who smiles while she bites your cheek with her sharp tongue

She will hurt my children with her words
And she will poison me with her bitter words
By God, if it were not for these orphaned children
And my fear that they will lose their way
I would say that all women are forbidden
And I would be patient, as a prisoner is patient with his imprisonment
May God's peace be upon him every day
As many as the pilgrims to the Kaaba and those who circumambulate it

Peace be upon the master of all mankind

Upon the Prophet, may those who came to pray upon him be blessed
