Walid Boureghda Poems

You are my sole hope in all my life.
The last dejection has gone away
When I met you on that very day.
All the troubles are completely gone;
...

لا تزال صورة وجهك،
و صفاء جمالك الهادئ،
و سحر إبتسامتك الدافئ،
و عيونك بلون العسل الصافي،
...

I know so well I have made a big sin
When having said something that has hurt you.
But I came to you apologizin',
Beging your pardon with what I can do.
...

Innocence and silence.
A kind of state out of nature.
A head in a queer trance.
A body with a fracture.
...

Lonely was I in my cursed previous life.
Stronger am I now beneath this lovely tomb.
Life's but a play rehearsed once in the womb,
Replayed again till stabbed by a knife
...

Anytime we are in trouble
Anytime we need someone
As being alone in darkness,
Needing a spark of light;
...

Love, a difficult word to define.
What can we say about love?
Is it something we can taste?
Is it something we can reject?
...

So early at a new dawn, I wake up fast.
A golden sphere in the sky with its shining rays.
A glowing sunshine warming up the light of days.
A yellow butter with honey always at breakfast.
...

What a marvelous and shiny day for a royal wedded couple.
In two simple words « I do! », two hearts are loyally tied-in at a chapel.
Loneliness is fully gone, and love’s reigning o’er their joyous life
Long live the handsome princely husband with the cute queen-to-be wife
...

رَفَعْنَا فَخْراً رَايَةَ السُّنَّةِ العَصْمَاءِ
حَمَلْنَهَا طَوْعاً فَوْقَ القِمَّةِ الشَّمَّاءِ

فَجَمَعْنَا شَمْلَ صَفِّنَا وَاسِعَ الأَرْجَاءِ
...
