رســـاله الى والـدي
a message/letter to my father
لوجمعت المدح كله في قصيده .. والقصيده جيت ابلقيها امامك
if I gathered all compliments in one poem.. and I'd come to recite/read the poem in front of you
بسإلك يابوي بحرك وش يزيده .. وانا مدحي قطره في بحر اهتمامك
I'd ask you oh father what would make your sea bigger.. my compliments is a drop comparing it to the sea of your attention/caring
كيف لا وانت الذي قدرك رصيده .. عالي عندي مثل هيبة مقامك
how not when your place.. is high/dear to me like your distinguished place
وحترامك يابعد قلبي وسيده .. وين ماارحل على راسي احترامك
and your respect, oh my heart and its master.. wherever I go is above my head, your respect
------------
لك حضور تفز له روحي سعيده .. وابتسامك لاخلا قلبي ابتسامك
you have a presence that makes my soul happy.. and your smile fills my heart, your smile
يوم اشوفه يحتفل دمي فوريده .. كيف لوشرفتها روحي بسلامك
the day I see him, my blood celebrates its vein.. oh how if you'd honor my soul with your hello/regard
-----------
مهما ابعد لاتظن روحي وحيده .. صورتك فيها ومعانيك وكلامك
no matter how far I go, never think that my soul is alone.. your image is in it and your meanings and words
فيها اسمك مع غلاك اللي تحيده .. فيها تربيتك حفظك الله ودامك
in it there's your name with how much you mean to me.. in it there's how well you raised me, may Allah preserve you
----------
تاج راسي بين خلق الله وعبيده .. انت يابوي ونحن كلنا حــزامك
my head's crown between Allah's creatures and slaves.. you oh my father and we are all the ones who support you
وان شكرتك والشكر كل يوم اعيده .. مابوفي ربع حبك واهتمامك
and if I thank you and repeat my thanks everyday.. I wouldn't give your love and caring justice
The hours of pain have yielded good,
Which prosperous days refused;
As herbs, though scentless when entire,
Spread fragrance when they’re bruised.
