I will start publishing some of my Arabic writings along with English translation since I believe no one among my followers understands Arabic.
This one is old, hope you will enjoy it!
Original Arabic Version
اتجه نحوي كعادته باسماً ملؤه الحماس عيناه تضج فرحاً وحياة
” انتفض قلبي لرؤيته وفرحت عيوني لملقاه…
إنّه حبيبي…..وأنا؟ “صديقته
…اقترب مني قلقاً مضطرباً راجياً مساعدتي
صديقتي أنتِ ساعديني…أشعر بالراحة حين أكلمكِ ولا أحد سواكِ قادر أن يريحَ قلبي!!…….أحبّهاّ! قال وتنّهد، أعجز عن النوم أفكر بها طوال الوقت….لا أريد سوى أن أغمرها أن أقبّلها …أن أحبها لكنني أخاف أن أكلمها
كرهتها قبل أن أعرفها….شعرت بقلبي يتخبط داخل صدري…..يكادُ أن ينفجر…إنها مشاعرٌ أعرفها جيداً وأعيش معها كل يوم….ولكن
نظرتُ إليه وقد انقلب كياني و جلّ ما أردت فعله هو البكاء والصراخ
لكنني ابتسمت….إذ أنني اعتدت العذاب…اعتدتُ أن أموت بصمتٍ إعتدت أن أكونَ الشمعة التي تحترق وتذوب فتنير درب الآخرين…وأجبته
كلّمها، عبّر لها عن مشاعركَ بنظرةٍ بوردةٍ بكلمةٍ إبحث عن الحب في عيونها إن كانت تبادلك الحب لن تستطيع أن تخبئه طويلاً…إزرع الحب وسوف تحصد الحب خوفكَ من الكلام لن يساعد إلاّ بعذابك ليس إلاّ
نظرَ إليّ فرحاً “لقد أنقذتني أشعر بحالةٍ أفضل! إني مفعم بالأمل بفضلك أنتِ يا صديقتي
… وغادر
شهقت بالبكاء من شدّة قهري…حطمت ما طالته يداي …كاد قلبي أن يتوقف وأحسست بحزنٍ أعجز عن وصفه
!! لقد ساعدتكَ يا حياتي…وأنا؟ من يساعدني؟
English Translation
He headed towards me, as usually, smiling, full of enthusiasm; his eyes are sparkling with love and life!
My heart leaped the moment I saw him and my eyes were happy to meet him!
He is? My love
And I am? His friend!
He moved towards me, worried, begging me for help!
“My friend, please help me, I feel so comfortable when I speak to you and no one else can alleviate my heart ache! I love her! He said sighing, I can’t sleep, I think about her the entire time, I just want to hold her, to kiss her, to love her! But I’m so afraid to approach her, to speak to her!”

Unrequited love, Crying eye by eagle4176
I hated her before I knew her! I felt my heart is fluttering inside my chest, almost exploding! Oh I know these feelings very well, I live with them on daily basis…BUT!
I looked at him while my world has turned upside down! And all what I wanted to do is cry and scream!
But I smiled instead, after all I’m used to suffer alone, to die silently, to be the candle that burns and melts to light others road…And I answered him:
“Talk to her, express your feelings with a look, a word, a flower. Search for love in her eyes, if she loves you, if it’s mutual, she’ll not be able to hide it for a long time. Cultivate love and you will reap love certainly! Your fear and silence will only increase your pain and suffering!”
He looked at me joyfully! “You saved me, I feel much better, I’m full of hope because of you my friend”
And he left…
I sobbed from my anguish and sorrow, I broke everything that my hands could reach, my heart was about to stop and the sadness I felt was indescribable!
I helped you my life but me? Who will help me?
Huguette Antoun – March 8th 2019
Sometimes we can’t have what we want. C’est la vie.
Actually most of the times 🙂 C’est la vie malheureusement!
Thank you for your interaction!
C’est une tres belle chanson, tres populaire ici 🙂 merci de partager!
Wow. So poignant. I love the lines. 🙂 And the arabic looks so good. Can’t read it though. 😅
Thank you 🙂 Glad you loved it! The Arabic is actually more powerful, but I know how hard is to learn Arabic now 🙂 Thank you so much for your interaction!
It’s my pleasure
Great post 😄
Thank you for reading 🙂
I always wanted to learn arabic!!! Thank you so much for sharing
Hope you will then 🙂 Thank you for your interaction!
This is very nice! Do you speak Arabic too?
Thank you for stopping by 🙂 Arabic is my mother language, French is my second and English is my third
Glad you liked it, you understand Arabic ?
I wish I did! I started learning it but I did not like my teacher’s style, so I gave up on it! It is a beautiful language though! And I like the fact that you can speak these languages. It is a nice trait to have!
Hope you will find another good teacher, I’m glad someone is mentioning the Arabic is beautiful everybody says it’s so hard 🙂 I believe Turkish is hard even though we have many words originally from Turkish
Lebanon is polyglot country, in schools they teach us always another language beside the Arabic, now most of schools teach both French and English or you can choose one only
I’m glad I had this opportunity to learn multiple languages ! Thank you for your kind words 😊
You must be proud! Well, we have many many Arabic words in Turkish too! Nice cultural exchange there, I guess:) language opens worlds for us!
Oh yes great exchange indeed! I am proud 😊 appreciate your words
Keep posting about things in different languages:)
Will do 😊 appreciate your encouragement , this is nice
Also I think all languages are hard when you don’t know them!
I agree! Everything is difficult and hard until we start learning 👍
Exactly!
Beautiful..heart touching lines Huguetta 🤩😍 loves it a lot.. Thanks for the translation 😊😊🤗
Thank you for stopping by and for the lovely words 🤗 I’m so glad you loved it 😊😊 Translation is a necessity I’m sure no one here understands Arabic
So sad, but we don’t all receive love back… Thank you for the translation… ❤
Yes unfortunately this is a fact that we should accept 🙂 thank you for reading and interacting 😊 Glad I did the translation so many can understand
Reblogged this on Micworldwide.
Thank you Michael 🙏🏻 and for all the work you allowed us to read
Nice write-up. Interesting
Thank you for reading and for your interaction!
You are welcome
إليك يا من أحبك قلبي كتبتك للشعر نبضا ونثرتك في الخيال شعور رسمتك صوره في
داخل عيوني معلقها ونسجت أسمك بقلبي وانت حرفك من ذهب محفور وعطيتك كلمة لغيرك
ما أقدر انطقها .. أحبك يا حياتي احبك لو يموت الحب، وتصير القلوب قبور اشوف
الحب هو موتي واشوفك انت تابوتي! احببت البحر. لان فيه عمق حبك. احببت الجبل.
لان فيه من شموخك. احببت الشمس. لان فيها من شروقك .. احببت القمر لان فيه من
نورك. احببت الحياة لانها مزجت روحي بروحك إليك يا من إحتوتك العيون إليك يا
من أعيش لأجله إليك يا من طيفك يلاحقني إليك يا من أرى صورتك في كل مكان في
كتبي .. في أحلامي .. في صحوتي إليك يا من يرتعش كياني من شدة حبيبي الشوق إلى
رؤياك فقط عند ذكر إسمك احبك ! أتدري لما ؟ احبك لانك جعلتني اعشق لحظة
صمتك, و أتوق إلى رقة حوارك… . لانك جعلت تاريخ ميلادي يوم عرفتك.. تبقى
وحدك فوق الزمان .. وتبقى عيونك احلى مكان .. وتبقى انت اغلى انسان طال الغياب
والشوق لك زاد من ناي الحنين أعزف لك ألحاني رسمت صورتك بين عيناي وأغمضتهما
حتى لايراك سواي إسمك؛ همسك؛ عطرك الكل محفور داخل قلبي وبأسوار الإخلاص حفظته
أغار من حبي لك فكيف تستغرب عندما أغار من الناس عليك لاتستغرب لجنوني فهو
جنون أعشقه وأعشقك معه فهو منك ولأجلك حبيبي الحب, إنه ذلك الأمتحان الذي
يتسارع الجميع لخوضه دون مذاكرة.. والنتيجة غالبا ما تكون لم ينجح أحد..
لصعوبة مادتين ! هما .. الصدق و الوفاء أروع ما قد يكون في العمر (حب) ولكن
الأروع ! أن يزهو بالوفاء .. وأروع ما في القلب (نبضات).. ولكن الأروع أن ينبض
بالدعاء، فيا رب في هذا الوقت أسعده.. وبما يرضيك أشغله .. وبأعلى جناتك أسكنه
.. وبما فيها من نعيم متعه .. وقلبي يتحرق شوقا اليك مدمن انا انفاسك …! فهل
لي بوسه من شفاك يسألني الحب عن شوقي لبوساته وأرد أنا بكل لهفه عن أحاسيسي
شوقي تعدى عن البوسات وزياده مشتاق يتعبني وأحطه وسط أحضاني لست ادري كيف؟ ولا
اين؟ فقط اشعر بقلبي ينبض سريعا حين اسمع صوتك وتضيع مفرداتي حين اخاطبك اشعر
ان صوتي يحبس داخل “متاهات الصمت” لا يدري اي نبره بها يحدثك أعذرني أنا هكذا
أحبك ولا اعلم كيف ابرر.. ! فهو شعور ممزوج بين “بهجة حضورك” واشتياقات
غيابك… احساس مترنح بين الإحتياج الى لقياك… والتخوف من ابتعادك.. أعذرني
هكذا أنا أحبك .. إحساس عميق اركانه ثابته قواعده راسخه يجعلني اهيم بك وبك
فقط. زرعتك في شراييني وسميتك نظر عيني .. وهبتك كل إحساسي لأنك أهلي وناسي
قدمتلك عمري هدية … وأعتذر عن رخص الهدية … قدرك سما فوق السما .. ونجومها
لك هدية و في لحظۃ غضب قلت لہ: خد ما شئت وإرحل بعيدا ف أمسك يدي وقال لي:
هيآآ عاوز ابعتلك رساله فيها كلام عسل بس خايف تدوب فى العسل وتنسى الى رسل…
كلام الحب 2014 كلمات مكتوبة الحب غرام 2014 ,Talk أعلم انك تحتاجني لكنك لا
تطلبني! وأعلم انك تفتقدني لكنك لاتبحث عني! وأعلم أيضا انك تحبني لكنك
لاتخبرني! … لكنيأعلم انك ستقرأ هذا وستظل كما انت صامت ! وصمتك يكاد يقتلني
… عرفنا الحب وأسراره .. وكتبنا أجمل أشعاره .. وغنينا على أوتاره … وذبنا
بالغرام ألحان … ليه اذا نمت بشوفك بأحلامي.. وبالنهار بتكون سبب اوهامي منذ
غبت عيني لا تنام.. منذ غبت جافاني الكلام.. منذ غبت صرت كلي جروح شمعة وذوبها
الغرام الحب يرى الورود بلا أشواك إذا أحبتك المرأة خافت عليك ، وإذا أحببتها
خافت منك الحب يستأذن المرأة في أن يدخل قلبها ، وأما الرجل فإنه يقتحم قلبه
دون استئذان الحب أعمى والمحبون لا يرون الحماقة التي يقترفون الحب دمعة
وابتسامة يا اللي بعيد الدار مسيت بالخير عساك تسلم في مساء كل ليله أرسلك
أشواقي مع النجم والطير عيني تمنى شوفتك لو مستحيله أضحك مع الناس لكن ضحكتي
معك غير الروح تنتشي وتطيب لو كانت عليله ! ليت لي قلب على فرقاك يقوى كان
ودعتك وعجلت الخطاوي لكن اللي بالحشا لك شيء أقوى من رحيل ما وراه إلا البلاوي
يا عزيزي تدري إن العشق بلوى وإنت روحي يا جروحي والمداوي ..!! بيقولوا الناس
اجناس.. ذهب وفضه وبرونز ونحاس وانت بعيني والله (الماااااس) ألا يا حبي
السامي .. لقيتك بأول أيامي.. تعال وجدد أحلامي … ترى قلب الهوى سهران ..
حرام عليك تعلمني حبك.. تعودني على قربك.. فجاة تنساني.. وتتركني اعاني قالوا
(الجبل) قلت عالي.. قالو (الدهب) قلت غالي.. قالوا (الحبيبة) قلت دائما ببالي
تمنيت كون دمعه حتى أولد في عينيك وأعيش على خديك وأموت على شفتيك ازعلي مني
مره.. وأرضي علي مره.. بس لاتنسيني بالمره احس بغيبتك غربه وتعاسه مالها اخر.
. احس اني بدونك وحيد وقلبي بيكسر الخاطر.. مسكت القلم بدي اشكي همومي.. بكي
القلم قبل ما تبكي عيوني لو كنت ورده واقف جنبك لانحنيت خجلا من جمالك….
الحب لا يعرف أي قانون الرجال يموتون من الحب ، والنساء يحيين به الغيرة هي
الطاغية في
كلام رائع وغني جداً! شكراً على المشاركة! يستحق أن يتم نشره في بوست او اكثر
من الجميل أن احد المتابعين يتكلم العربية، هذا يدفعني إلى النشر أكثر باللغة العربية 👍
Hi
Very beautiful and emotional story, i know this feeling when you think about someone who you love so much and you can’t even sleep, very well written, beautiful lines❤️
Thank you Ilona for the nice words, it is appreciated! I’m happy you loved it 😊
Hope you enjoyed your day ❤️
Oui🤗
👍😊
Nice one
Thank you for reading!
It’s very kind of you to give an English translation from the original Arabic. I only studied Spanish as a second language, but I’d like to study another one day. I suppose it would be difficult for me, at this stage in life, to venture outside of a Latin derived alphabet. Still, I think it would be fascinating to learn Arabic, or maybe a Cyrillic based language, or even Mandarin. I believe it would give me a whole new perspective on the world.
I also really enjoyed this post. I can absolutely relate to the quiet suffering of unrequited love. There is also the paradoxical element of helping someone pursue another romantic relationship, even though it will completely undermine your own hopes. This piece captures the complexity of the human condition – something that isn’t easy to do in writing.
Thanks for sharing this, and sorry for the long comment.
Firstly, long comment is more appreciated than short ones, thank you so much for taking time to read and for your kind words! I’m lucky that Lebanon is a polyglot country so at schools we always have second language beside our mother language: Arabic. My second language was French and I learned English alone because I was desperate to understand all these love songs and so 🙂
I encourage you to learn Arabic or other language regardless your age or stage..even if the basic but you’ll feel good, I agree it will be harder but it’s feasible 🙂 I started to learn Spanish but I’m not being consistent I need to focus more, so hopefully I will make it!
I was hesitated to translate this from Arabic because I wasn’t sure I will be accurate, especially for such feelings and I’m glad you liked it, yes this feeling is hard but this is life after all, bad feelings and good feelings, we always learn
Thank you again for your very valuable interaction 😊 (shukran = thank you)
“Your fear and silence will only increase your pain and suffering!”
I think relatively few people see the truth of that, and of those, even fewer know what to do about it.
To be honest, the man was foolish. I wiser man — or woman — would have picked the person they confess their feelings to, rather than the person they felt too daunted by to confess their feelings to.
Poor, poor young people! Always looking for sex and beauty in each other first and foremost. It’s much better — much better — to look for friendship first, then sex and beauty. But almost none of us know that when we’re young. I too made the same mistake as the man in this story.
Thank you Paul for the deep read and comment as well! It’s highly appreciated
Well, the story could be a pure imagination but it happens on daily basis
We actually don’t get to choose whom we love, we can’t force love and care even if we were more than perfect!
I believe that what you called “mistake” was a natural flow of events and it happened for a very good reason, I don’t know if you could change it even if you tried
Many people confess their feelings and they find out it’s not mutual, can’t do anything about it but these people are brave and deserve love more than anyone else
Thank you again for your valuable contribution 🙂
😦 Oh wow. This is the perfect post for me. Could this post be more relatable??? Whyyyyyy????
Should she be happy that they are friends or sad coz that’s all they’ll ever be. 😦
Such a great post. I love it:)
I knew you will love it 🙂 Sorry it’s painful I know! We don’t get to choose whom we love and we can’t force love…As simple as that but we can still suffer haha
Glad you did ❤
Well being in pain is better than not feeling anything at all. We can’t force love. I can sleep more peacefully tonight because of this 🙂
I agree 🙂 Glad you will dear ❤
Huguette! This is lovely and haunting and sad…so well put together! I wish I knew Arabic, the letters just dance off the page with how they are scripted. My favorite line: “to die silently, to be the candle that burns and melts to light others road”…oh anguish. I know this feeling. My heart hurts when I think of it. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work. I hope to read more! &*& (insert hearts and happy faces to you).
☺️☺️ so glad you loved it! Most of my Arabic writings will be sad actually 😕
Glad you loved the Arabic and I really wish you can understand because the meaning is more beautiful in Arabic! Maybe I can teach you 😁
I’m sorry that you know this awful feeling and your opinion as a great writer and talented poet means a lot to me 🙏🏻🙏🏻🤗🤗🐡🐡❤️❤️
Maybe you can give me a few words here and there and we can build from there. I’m going to want the word for LOVE first. And if you have many ways to say it, then I will learn them all. Because if nothing else, I will learn love from Arabic and that is the most powerful word in the world. 🐡🐡❤️❤️🐡🐡❤️❤️
Looking forward to reading more of your work (sad or not!)
🐡❤️❤️🐡🐡
Sure first things first 😊 love = 7obb حب (7 is a deep H, this doesn’t exist in English)
this post was written in Classical Arabic not Lebanese Arabic (2 different languages)
In Lebanese we say B7ebbak بحبَك (I love you masculin) and B7ebeek بحبِك (I love you feminine) only the small accent under the letter is different
We say 7abeebee = my love حبيبي and we use this word always even if not for love, well I don’t 😊
Hope it’s helpful especially with the deep H which is ح
🐡🐡😊😊❤️
THANK YOU!!! 🐡🐡❤️ Okay. I copied this all and printed it out (in a much bigger font, because I am practically blind! Kidding. But I do wear contacts and extra glasses on top of those sometimes.) I’ll need some time to practice! Can you give me the pronunciations as well in English? Please? I know that is another request, but I like to say things aloud when I learn them. It helps me to remember them that way. 🐡❤️🐡🐡😊😊❤️
😂😂 why you would do that I can send you a decent mail with a good font 😊 I tried to write them as they should pronounced in English and it’s definitely not another request 😊 but tell me how I can provide you with good pronunciation ? I should do some voice over with a professional because my voice is lousy 😂 I will try to have them recorded or find YouTube videos for the pronunciation otherwise I guess it will be hard to explain it only by writing with English letters 🐡🐡😊😊❤️😌
I guess I could look them up. There are sites that have pronunciations that could help! I am just not sure how to find them though. 🐡🐡
Thank you for your help! (I think it would be so hard to write the pronunciations in English for another language! You are amazing to try and help!)
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh no I would do that don’t worry 😊 send me an email and will provide you with links and audio
Or whatever other medium that suits you better than emails 😊 I know what you mean, yes it’s hard for a foreign language and I didn’t do anything yet
❤️❤️🐡🐡have a great Friday ❤️🐡😊
I sent you a DM! Happy weekend!! ❤️❤️🐡🐡❤️❤️🐡🐡❤️❤️🐡🐡❤️❤️🐡🐡
Happy weekend to you as well ❤️❤️❤️🐡🐡🐡🐡😊😊😊
