Lyrics

Hope of my life, why are you sad?
You, the one who owns me, the one who commands me,
Why are you running away?
My heart, my love, it's hard on it.
You are missing to me, O beloved, why?
My loneliness, my heart alone
My loneliness, my heart alone

About the Source

This article originally appeared on Lennie Clark's web site, "Arabic Song Translations." Lennie created this web site in 2002 as a response to discussion on the Internet regarding incidents of dancers who performed inappropriate sensual dances to religious music. Lennie's web site resided on a free web hosting service known as Geocities. When the planned October 2009 closure of the Geocities web hosting service was announced, Lennie and Shira agreed to move the contents of Lennie's site to Shira.net.
