My dove

[abdullah kurraz]

My Dove

O, my little dove
O light of my eyes and the moon
My daughter
O crown of head and the Sky
If chanting in our night
In our yard
you're like the moon
If scattering the voice of chastity
if spinning like a gazelle on running to us
you're like the moon
O daughter of fully-grown moon
O our meadow
you're the spring of hope and fancy
O beautiful gold-like gift
Hurray for us
Hurray for us
O light of my heart and the moon
O girl the most fertile womb
O the spirit of the warmth never dries
I endlessly adore you
all the time the breeze dallies my ribs
all the time like the birds the world sings
You my sweetie
you My daughter
you my Isis
In your love I have hopes
In the heart I have kisses
Your eyes shines with exaltation
Hurray for us
Hurray for us
