هــَـــذهِ هــِــى حــَــبــيـــبـــتـــى .. هــَـــذهِ هــِــى مـَــــديـــنــــتـــــى ..
This is My Love .. This is My City ..
أبــْـــحــَــــثُ عــَــن مــَـــديــــنـــةٍ
I look for a city
نــَـــكــْـــتــُـــبُ مــَــا شــِــئــْــنـــَـــا عــلــى جــُــدْرَانــَـــهـــَـــــا
That we write whatever we want on its walls
مــَــديــنــةٌ تــُـــحــَـــرِّضُ الــزِّلــزالَ فــى دَاخــِـــلــِــنـــَــــا
A city that stirs the earthquake inside us
تــُــدهــِـــشــُــنــا .. تــَــخــُــضــُّــنـــا .. تــُـــقــْــلــِــقـــُـــنـــَــــا
Surprises us .. frightens us .. worries us
مــَـــديــنـــةٌ لا تــَـــقــْـــمــَـــعُ الــحــُـــبَّ .. و لا الــشــِّــعــْـــرَ
A city that does not suppress love or poetry
و لا تــَـــقــْـــمــَــعـــَـــنـــَـــا
And suppress us not
أبــْـــحــَــــثُ عــَــن شـــَـــوَارِعَ ضــَــيـــَّـــقــَـــةً تــَـــبـــْــلــَـــعـــُـــنـــا
I search for narrow streets that swallow us
عــن مــَــرْكــِــبٍ مــُــغــَـــامــِـــرٍ
(I search) for an adventurous boat
يــَـــأخــُـــذنـــَــــا لــَـــيـــْــــلاً .. و لا يــُـــرْجــِـــعــُـــنـــَــــا
That takes us at night and never gets us back
أخــْـــتـــَـــارُ مــَــنــْــــفـــَـــاى كــَــمــَـــا يــُــعــْـــجــِــبــُــنــِـــى
I choose my exile as I like
و أصــْـــنــَـــعُ الــزَمــَـــانَ و الــمــَــكــَــانَ
And create the time and place
أخــْــتــَـــارُ دَوْمــَـــاً جــَـــانــِـــبَ الــقــَـــصـــِــيـــدة
Always choose the side of the poem
و جـــَـــانــِـــبَ الإنـــْــــســـَــــان
And the side of man
أبــْــحــَـــثُ عـــن زاويــةٍ صــَــغــيــرة فــى مــَــطــْـــعـــَـــم
I look for a small angle in a restaurant
تــُـــصـــْـــغــِـــى إلــى حــِــوَارِنــَــا
