I promised you.

Some words...
...spring open from a heart so wounded, to light, for good, hearts that fear the dark...

Nizar Qabani, just surprised me with his words:

الحمد لله أني كذبت

THANK GOD, I lied!

Lying is a sin, yet here Qabani embodies that some lies are the first step in finding the truth.

Without a big lie, how can we appreciate a great truth? :)

Well, that is how I see it now! Maybe the future has something else to teach?

THANK GOD :)

To the beautiful melody tunes of immortal Kathim El Sahir, I listened to the angelic voice of Majda El Roumy singing this meaning...

A great insight for Today :) I so much needed...I felt and related to these words and was deeply touched by...the following...(song embeded below translation)

I promised you
I promised you, to no more love you.. then in front of the big decision I grew coward
I promised you, to no more love you.. then in front of the big decision I grew coward
I promised you, not to come back and came.. not to die longing and died
I promised, things, larger than me; so what did I do to myself?
I was lying from the intensity of truth
Praise God, Praise God .. Praise God that I lied

I promised you not to be a prisoner to my weakness, yet as so was I, and to say not to your eyes poetry, and yet so did I sayI promised you not to be a prisoner to my weakness, yet as so was I, and to say not to your eyes poetry, and yet so did I say
I  promised not to, and not to and not to...
For how and where and on what day did I promise?
I was lying from the strength of truth.

Praise God, Praise God .. Praise God that I lied
I promised you, not to chase for shells, at the shore of your eyes, for a year long...
So how do I say strange words as such?
When your eyes are my home...my home...your eyes are my home...and your eyes are my home and the abode of Peace
Ad you are the start...and you are the start of everything
And the perfect conclusion




وعدتك
وعدتك الا احيك ..ثم امام القرار الكبير جبنت
وعدتك الا احيك ..ثم امام القرار الكبير جبنت
وعدتك الا اعود و عودت ..ولا اموت اشتياقا و موت
وعدت بى اشياء اكبر منى فماذا بنفسى فعلت
لقد كنت اكذب من شدة الصدق
و الحمد الله الحمد الله..انى كذبت الحمد الله
وعدنك الا اكون اسيرت ضعفى و كونت..ولا اقولى لعيناك شعر و قولت
وعدنك الا اكون اسيرت ضعفى و كونت..ولا اقولى لعيناك شعر و قولت
وعدتى بالا و الا والا
فكيف و اين و فى اى يوم ترانى وعدت
لقد كنت اكذب من شدة الصدق
و الحمد الله الحمد الله..انى كذبت الحمد الله
وعدتك الا اصيد المحار بشطاّن عيناك طيلت عام
فكيف اقول كلام غريب كهذا الكلام
و عيناك دارى دارى عيناك دارى..و عيناك دارى و دار السلام
و انت البداية و انت البداية فى كل شئ
ومسك الختام مسك الختام


May we find the truth...all days.
