Ra’aa Al Barq (He Saw the lightening)
Saw an eastward lightening so he longed for the East.
And if it sparkled westerly, he would have longed to the West
My love is for the brilliance of its hint, not for the places or clod
~ Ibn Arabi (1165–1240) (Übersetzung: Nehal Hany)

La Talumi (Don’t Blame Me)
You occupying my mind, for God’s sake, don’t blame me
If you saw me obsessed, for God’s sake, don’t blame me
Two letters were the reason for illnesses and sickness*
I swear with the first letter
I cried from longing and being distant from you to you, and uniting with you in you
Being distant and abandoned for no reason
Please my all, for God’s sake don’t blame me
I dragged my feet with the second letter, my abasement broke my heart
I swore to devote myself to those two letters, I stabbed my heart with abandonment
Then I became obsessed with you in you
For God’s sake don’t blame me.
~ Ahmed Rashwan (Übersetzung: Nehal Hany)
*) In Arabic language, the word „Love“ is spelled in two letters, pronounces as „Hob“
