I Speak Not Of Unknown Things

Faking it 'til I'm pseudo making it.

I came across this Nizar Qabbani quote that goes "You're lucky if you find someone to whom you can tell about your bad behaviours without them thinking that you are a bad person, but because they know what is inside you is purer and more beautiful." Can you share the Arabic version of the quote?

أنت محظوظ جداً إن كنت تملك شخصاً تحكي له تصرفاتك السيئة دون أن يفكر بأنك شخصاً سيء , لأنه يعرف جيداً أن الذي بداخلك أنقى وأجمل.

The Translation please, one of the best in our region.. and they way we do it

Well, here goes nothing..

و يعلم الله ما في القلب من أمنيات، لكنها مع جروح الجارحين نزفت

 حبيب عمري من الميلاد حتى الممات عز الله، طعنتك كفت معايا ووفت مسافة جروح غيرك

 يا كبير الصفات من تشتعل جمرة السيجار حتى إنطفت، ولا أنت مسافة جرحك مسيرة حياة

 تهديني جداد لا من القديمة هاي، شفت، وقفتني في جهة ما هي بظمن الجهاة

 و ما أدري : تعمدتها ولا معاك صدفت؟ بس الأكيد، الأكيد أن النهاية ثبات

 وأني أحبك و يا ليت أن حبك كفت، أنا من اللي تأثر فيهم الذكريات

 ارحمني وخد بدمعة عينك اللي انذرفت، ولا تلتفت وأنت مقفي خلي للإلتفات

 أخاف لا تلتفت و تشوفني ملتفت

God only knows what wishes are in the heart, but from wounds it bled

Love of my life, from birth till I lay dead

By God, your stab did it and left as big a scar as all the others

O you, with all the great traits

From the blazing of the cigar’s ember till it faints, or your scar, big as life straights

Giving me all new ones, say, you left me in an uncharted place

And I wonder : was your doing or faith’s?

But certainly, that in the end there would be grit,

And that I love you and wish it was the end of it.

I am one of those on whom memories have an effect.

Have mercy on me, take your falling tear and yourself away, and turn back

For I fear that by looking back, you’d see me as well doing it.

خُذ نفساً عميقاً ، إنّه يومٌ سيء وَ ليسَت حَياة سيّئة .

Take a deep breath , it's just a bad day not a bad life .

“Gentleness is powerful. When we use gentle and loving speech, we are able to transform all the anger, fear, resentment, and suspicion in our communication. The whole intention of loving speech is to understand the other person and to be understood.”

— Thich Nhat Hanh

I wish I was mastering loving speech better than I am... 🙏

Anne-Marie delade den här på twitter häromsistens och jag tyckte det var en helt UNDERBAR uppdragslista till alla sommarlovsfirare! 💕 Ja, till alla ledighetsidkare faktiskt...! 😊
