The Night الليل

The Arabian Traveler Poetry

The Night is a poem written and read both in Arabic and English by the author Mohammad Bader.

والليل هو بدلتي التي تغطي جسدي

والتي تخبئ عيوبي

الليل هو منتجعي ومأواي

الليل هو سرابي وحسابي

الليل يواري الالامي وأحزاني

الليل يضمني يحتضنني

كعاشق يأنسني

كشريد يطاردني

كقديسٍ يوانسني

كحلمٍ يسليني

ككابوس يفزعني

كنبع يروي ظمأي

وكسرابٌ يزيد عطشي

الليل نعمة تلاحقني

ونقمة توقظني

الليل صديقتي وعشيقتي

الليل. ..

يقرّبني الي البديع

The night is my friend

My lover;

My suit;

That covers my body,

And my shortcomings.

A lover that keeps me company,

A hound that chases me,

A priest that comforts me,

A nightmare that awakens me,

A brook that quenches my thirst,

A mirage that keeps me thirsty,

A blessing that follows me,

A misfortune that shocks me,

The night is my friend and lover.

The night brings me closer to the Creator!
