To you Sham…
Once I was away from you, I lived in torments
Could not bear to be parted from you…
From the daily blessings..
From the cozy way you held me in
Like a mother to her child
I was addicted to your gentle breezes,
And your heavenly water…
I was late to realize
How valuable you were to my heart…
How you lived deep inside,
And how you mixed with the blood
That ran through my veins…
Away I am living in mazes;
Struggling with painful yearning
To that warm house that raised me up,
And witnessed all phases of my life…
And now I would give my life to be back again;
To breathe your perfumed air,
To set my sight on your old charming alleys…
Sweet Memories are calling me to end my lost years,
Those I have wasted living in foreign lands…
My age on earth is not guaranteed,
That's why I took my stand…
To you sham I vow
I will be back,
To rest my soul on your holy land.
