غيابك كنزعة الروح بقلم زينيول حسبن

 WHEN WILL YOU COME BACK? 

In the name

Of thousand vows

You promised to come

But an ocean of time

Teased my waiting eyes

You didn't return. 

When will you come back? 

Standing like a robust rock, 

I watch trains come and go

Passengers alight and get on

But i don't see 

Your solacing face

And this heightens my killing woe. 

When will you come back? 

Waiting for you

They say is my blunder

They do nothing but penetrate my heart

With the sword

Of their satire and slender. 

I can't live with your lack. 

When will you come back?
