رسالة إلى الحبيب - للشاعر العباس بن الأحنف [ lyrics video ]

This lyrical work is based on a poem by Abbas ibn al-Ahnaf, which revolves around a sincere lover burdened by longing. He writes a letter to his beloved while drowning in tears and pain. His body is worn down by sorrow, and his heart refuses to forget, no matter how hard he tries. So he reveals what he has long kept hidden, hoping for a reply that will ease his suffering. It is the lament of a devoted lover who still sees in his beloved the cure for his soul and the solace of his heart. --- 📜 Explanation of the verses: The lover wrote a letter to his beloved, And his eyes never cease weeping. The poet says that he wrote a letter to his beloved, while his tears never cease from the intensity of his longing and anguish. And his body has been weakened by decay, And his heart does not heed any admonition. Sorrow has worn down his body until he appears weak, but his heart does not respond to advice and refuses to abandon love. --- This is a letter I sent to you. The listener weeps, and the reader weeps. He describes his letter as so moving that whoever hears or reads it may weep at the sincerity of its pain. It contains wonders from a sincere lover. Your love, my beloved, has extinguished me, and I am extinguished. He says that the letter carries wondrous feelings from a sincere lover, and that his love for her has extinguished his strength and weakened him until he is extinguished. --- And I endured until my patience was exhausted. And I loved you, my soul's love, for misery. He endured for so long that his patience ran out, and he loved her with a love that brought him misery and torment. And I concealed my love for you, so know and be certain. And love for anyone but me, I beg your ransom, has refused. He tells her that he concealed his love for her for so long, but she must believe that his heart refuses to do anything but love her despite everything. --- Reply to my letter and be certain That a letter from you is a balm to me. He hopes she will reply to his letter, for her answer will be a balm to his aching heart. Peace be upon you, my dearest, As numerous as the stars and every bird in the sky. He concludes with a greeting filled with longing, sending her his peace as numerous as the stars and every bird in the sky. --- #LetterToTheBeloved #AlAbbasIbnAlAhnaf #ClassicalArabicPoetry #ArabicPoetry #ArabicSongs #LyricsVideo #ArabicPoetry #ArabicMusic #ClassicalPoetry #LovePoem #LovePoem #SingingPerformance #AbbasidPoetry #ALoverWritsToTheBeloved #Songs #Sadness
