To My Father
To My Father

When the wide world seems to be closing in on you,
come to live in my spacious heart.
And if an overwhelming sadness silences you,
let my love fill that silence.
If you ever lose sight of who you are,
look into my eyes, your truth is there.
And when the loneliness of farewell frightens you,
hear the melodies of my prayers, for I am always with you.
حِينَ تَضِيقُ عَلَيْكَ الدُّنْيا الرَّحِيبَةُ،
عِشْ فِي قَلْبِي السَّعَةَ.
وَحِينَ يُخْرِسُكَ حُزْنٌ دَفِينٌ،
امْلَأْ بِحُبِّي صَمْتَكَ.
وَحِينَ تُضِيعُ رُوحَكَ وَتَسْأَلُ: مَنْ أَنَا؟
انْظُرْ، فِي عَيْنَيَّ حَقِيقَتَكَ.
وَحِينَ تُخِيفُكَ وَحْدَةُ الوَدَاعِ وَتَصِيرُ حَتْمًا،
تَجَاسَرْ بِصَلَاتِي وَتَذَكَّرْ أَنِّي هُنَا.
