Fairuz

Muwashshah Qad Ataka Ya'taziru (Muwashshah: she came to apologize)

Fairuz


My tormentor came to me in the fold of dusk 
like a planet shining in the horizon. 
I said to her, you have lightened my life,
my sweet visitor, aren't you afraid to walk alone in the street? 
She replied with ti ars in her eyes: 
"He who rides the sea is not scared of drowning."
