Hikaiti Maa Al Zaman (The Story of My Life)
I called "my darling".
That day was destined to be mine.
My life has been scrificed to you in
A prominade I called "my life".
Among you here have I agreed to suffer;
Till my heart has wasted away, did I suffer.
But here never have I lived a joyful day;
Much have I suffered, much have I endured
But never did I complain, never did I cry
Because of his treatment of me.
My heart was wasted away, so have I suffered.
The reproach of friends will never heal wounds,
Will never bring back the past.
This is the story of my life.
A paradise, high in the sky,
Has he drawn for me; and told me
"Let us live there",
I shall have a happy life, I said.
In his own imagination has he built
Castles of dreams.
"Nothing is impossible", he said.
I closed my eyes.
When I awoke I found nothing;
Nothing but my hopes and tortures awaiting me.
Amongst you know not wither I go,
I know not whence I came.
But I am here having suffered much.
I have cried and suffered painful,
Unforgettable days;
Unforgettable should I live a million years.
The reproach of friends will never heal wounds,
Will never bring back the past.
This is the story of my life.
