To my daughter Maria

To my daughter Maria I embrace the depths of your loveWith a father’s passion,I savor the sweetness of your childhoodWith warm lips,I hold back a tear of joyDeep within my soul,I voice further wishesIn the sanctuary of my prayers—Perhaps heaven will smile;Oh, the passion of young girls! They grow to give life to life;Take all the love you desire,For your love is inexhaustible.Oh Maria, who tomorrow will pour joyInto the corners of the home? Who will gift me the light of dayThat I see in your face? And what little girl will soothe my heartWith so many morning songs?Fairouz no longer whispers to the spring,Nor does winter return to the autumn of fathers.In your mother’s eyes, a tearStirs the emotions of a poet.With what hand shall I wipe away Fatima’s tears? Yet goodness is written on Murtada’s face,For courage and generosity ran in his ancestors’ veins. So my heart is at peace, my little one,For you are in a home of honor, of prestige,And of noble lineage.
