I Need You & You Need Me - A Song From Egypt

I need you & You need me
We are connected with thousands of connections
I'm just like you & you're just like me
Both of us love the goodness & the wellbeing of others

I have no one other than you, that's for sure
No one of us chose the other
Me and you are a story of people who share their life together


Your existence completes me.... because I can’t make it alone.
Your features are all mine, only the name is different
With a simple gesture to tell me you’re by my side
Lighten my burden with just a word from your heart

You plant my loaf of bread (wheat )
And i sew your clothes
Today you stand at my door,
Tomorrow i'll stand at yours

You teach my son & raise him up
And your illness iscured with my medicine
You build my house,
I gurard you & your house


I need you & You need me
We are connected with thousands of connections
I'm just like you & you're just like me
Both of us love the goodness & the wellbeing of others


I have no one other than you, that's for sure
No one of us chose the other
Me and you are a story of people who share their life together

We should not waste one day in dispute
One of us will need the other to lean on and rise up
Just a simple word will solve it all
It will bring peacefulness to our hearts,
Once we reach out our hands to greet one another

I need you as much as you need me
With thousands links between us
We are both the same
In the love of goodness and kindness of heart

Have only you by my side without choosing each other
We’re the story of people sharing life together

The Chambers of My Heart - Al Mutanabbi

Image
My translation does not do it justice :   Tell my dear beloved who lives in the chambers of my heart, That even if I don't meet him, I still meet him And that my sight is connected to seeing him... Even if our dwellings are far away from one another I hope he realizes that I don't remember him As how can I remember him if I can't forget him in the first place? O you who thought that I don't remember him And God knows that I never forget about him If he is away from me, my soul is his home So how possibly could the heart forget who lives in the soul?   - Al-Mutanabbi  (915 – 23 September 965)   Here is a recitation of the poem in Arabic :       And  h ere is the original poem in Arabic :                                                         “ابلغ عزيزاً فى ثنايا القلب منزله أنى وإن كنت لا ألقاه ألقاه وإن طرفى موصول برؤيته وإن تباعد عن سكناى سكناه يا ليته يعلم أنى لست أذكره وكيف اذكره إذ لست أنساه يا من توهم أنى لست أ
