I chose to leave some of my loved ones Cause i sensed that they want to leave me  Yes i miss them but i put my pride first before my feelings  I long to be with them all the time  But my feet don't love walking down the path of humiliation  -  Ahmed Shawky  Here is the original poem verses in Arabic 

Oh bird flying high  For the love of God deliver my message  Send my salam (greetings) & my love  Oh bird flying high  Your providence comes from God's grace Come with the good news  And wander as much as you want in God's land  How can i go to sleep while thinking of you  Even fish in the sea feel for my condition Every day i say maybe tomorrow i can see my loved one  & greet them by kissing their forehead For you i can give away my life take me to your kindness  For you i can give away my life take me to your kindness  Don't turn & go away i have no one else but you  Don't turn & go away i have no one else but you  Oh bird if i saw my loved one in my dreams  Wake up at night, travel & go send him my greetings  Send my greetings oh you who are heading to the east My fear from my people is far easier than being away from my beloved  Oh bird flying high  Your providence comes from God's grace   Come with the good ne

Oh bird travelling far away from me send my greetings to my beloved  Oh bird my fate has rendered me in loss I'm torn apart, can't be with my loved one Neither can i be with my people I'm puzzled should i forget about you or should i keep looking for you Sometimes i miss my people & i miss you even more I keep flying around maybe i could see you To me you're like water if i'm thirsty my love In my heart nostalgia flows like two rivers I miss you like the sight miss the eyes Your love is my cure & happiness My love no matter how much you turn away from me you're still my beloved Oh bird my fate has rendered me in loss I'm torn apart, can't be with my loved one Neither can i be with my people You're the dream of my soul my love Without you i'm like a withering rose Your face is my full moon when it's dark you're my happiness & joy my love Oh bird my fate has rendered me in loss I'm torn apart,
