Oh Mother/أيا أمي

The ornament of my life

The light of my eye

The teacher of my life

You are very generous

And you always give

You are generous

Oh, how much I love you?!

Oh, how much I want to live for you

To make up for all you have done for me

Oh mother, Oh mother

How I love being with you

How I love sitting by your side

Kneel in your heart

And bury my soul in yours

So my heart can be calm and unconcerned

And to be with you all the time

And evict everything hideous

And

To know what’s right?

Nothing, but you, is right

The queen of tenderness and care

You are a garden that flourishes with daisies

Oh mother,

Oh mother

Oh human!

أيا أمّي

أيا زينةَ حياتي

أيا نورَ مقلتي

أيا رجوتي ومعلّمتي..

بعطائِكِ..

 أنت كريمةْ

بأخلاقكِ أنتِ كبيرة

كم أحبُّكِ؟!

وكم أريدُ أنْ أحيا لِأجلِكِ

لكي أُعوِّضَ بعضَ فيضكِ

أيا أمي، أيا أمي

كَم أُحبُّ الجُلوسَ بقربكِ

كم أحبُّ أن أجثوَ في قلبكِ

أنْ أدفن روحي في روحكِ

كي يهنأ قلبي وأستريحْ

كي أواجه بكِ ألفِ ريحْ

كي أطردَ منّي كلَّ قبيحْ

و كي…

أعرفَ دومًا ما الصّحيحْ؟

لا شيء إلّاكِ  صحيحْ

يا ملكةَ الحنانْ

يا حديقةً تفورُ أقحوانْ

أيا أمي، أيا أمي،

أيّتها الإنسانْ
