A poem I loved (Arabic): "قلم" A Pen

جس الطبيب خافقي
وقال لي:
هل ها هنا الألم؟
قلت له: نعم
فشق بالمشرط جيب معطفي
وأخرج القلم!
هز الطبيب رأسة و مال وأبتسم
وقال لي:
ليس سوى قلم
فقلت لا يا سيدي
ه>ا يد... وفم
رصاصة... ودم
وتهمة سافرة... تمشي بلا قدم

I can't love you... again

Sitting near the window,
Pretending to be looking through,
But all my eyes see is
A reflection of you...
I know you are looking at me
But I can't turn my face,
Please take your eyes away
They kill me slowly by pain...
A pain I am bound to suffer
A price I have to pay...
You are smiling there
While I am burning here
Still I can't turn to you
Is it hatred or is it fear?
I hated you once,
More than I loved you before.
I can't love you again,
Don't wanna hate you more.
As your tears fall
And my heart bleeds,
Only a reflection of you I see
That's all my heart needs.
Keep your eyes off mine!
I can't stand the pain,
Keep your eyes away!
I can't love you again!
