قصيدة زواج.

I gave her a rose, dewy in its bloom
tender, whispering to her cheek like the full moon
she settled, lawfully, in the heart as a stillness
no love was ever as chaste, as pure as this
I called on my Lord to perfect an affection
and she came as a bride, under the shade of His command
in chastity I met her, and in chastity
she kept her love from the eyes of the age
no kohl adorned her, no gold on show
but certainty adorned her, and honour
if my heart grew tight against the times, I found in her
a spacious refuge, bright as daybreak
we walk together for God, seeking His nearness
and we build a home standing firm as rock
and I say: my Lord, unite the hearts that loved
in a Paradise that lasts through all time

When will God unite us upon goodness,
and make our love a remembrance in the heart?
I see you in dreams as a pure light,
then I wake to find longing as my command.
My supplication calls out to you every night,
and my patience, in your absence, has become true patience.
So O my Lord, complete my life for me
with the one I loved in this world and the next.
I am a bird suspended between earth
and a sky that guides me toward dawn.
I speak to myself: "Be patient, O my heart,"
and it replies: "How long have you stretched this lifetime?"
Do I live within the fire of longing with patience,
and build today a palace from my tears?
Yet I have come to know that my Lord
answers the plea of the helpless with ease.
And if the road grows long, within it are
lessons that free even the weak heart.
Every waiting carries the wisdom of a Lord
who teaches me reliance and gratitude.
They think the lawful moves with slow steps,
unaware that goodness comes as glad tidings.
If God chose you for me one day by decree,
then He has gifted me the purest love.
