tshreg alshams wa tegheeb
Ahlam Lyrics

تشرق الشمس وتغيب
The sun rises and sets

ويقسى قريب وينسى قريب
Those who are close can become distant and forgetful

وفي أغلب الأوقات نعرف بعد ما يفوت الأوان
Often we only realize things after the chance has passed

ما خاب ظن إلا في قريب
Only those who are close can disappoint us

تصدق ظنون وتخيب
Sometimes our assumptions are correct, and other times they disappoint

ويهجر حبيب، ويغدر حبيب
Loved ones can abandon and betray us

ومرة من المرات يصدف في غفلة من طبع الزمان
Sometimes, by chance, the nature of society leads to someone being true and faithful

يصدق ويوفي حبيب، يصدق ويوفي حبيب
They will be faithful and true in love

لي قلب خلى عيني مِزنه تمطر عذاباته دليل
My heart has caused my eyes to constantly weep in pain

إن المخّلد وسط سجنه من ينتظر رد الجميل
The eternal prisoner waits for gratitude

لي قلب دقاته غدت علّ وعسى يحيا على بعض الأمل في المستحيل
My heart beats in the hope of a miracle

هي قِوته تكمن في وهنه لو يجمعوا ما في القصايد من أسى
Its strength lies in its weakness, even if all the sadness in the world were gathered

وكل الأغاني من الأزل عن الرحيل ما عبرت عن بعض حزنه
All the songs since the beginning of time cannot express some of his sadness

سامح خطايا من طغى وجار وقسى
Forgive those who were hostile and cruel

وأبحر به لشط الأجل وأشعل فتيل
Sail across the sea of life and light a fire

أحرق مجاديفه وسُفنه
Burn his oars and ships

يا قلب أتعبني صمودك بالله قل لي
My heart, your stubbornness is exhausting me, please tell me

إنت قلبي أو قلب من خانوا عهودك
Are you my heart, or the heart of those who betrayed you?

وقل لي من فينا اللي مخطي
And tell me who among us is wrong

وقل لي من فينا المصيب يهجر حبيب ويغدر حبيب
And tell me who among us leaves and betrays loved ones

ومرة من المرات في غفلة من طبع الزمان
And sometimes, by chance, the nature of society leads to someone being true and faithful

يا قلبي المخدوع يكفي، قل وش تبي أمرك غريب
My deceived heart, it's enough. Tell me what you want, strange matter

اللي تحبه عنك مقفي، وما سأل عنك وتجيب
The one you love has turned away from you, and they don't even ask about you

من ينتظر من غدر وأمضى من وفا
Who waits for those who betray, and has spent time being loyal

ومن ظلم لحظة من عدل كالمستجير
And those who have been wronged, seeking justice like a fugitive

بالموت من آلام جرحه ومن ما عرف من دنيته إلا الجفا
His wounds are so painful that he wishes for death, and he has only known betrayal in this world

وشلون يقدر يستدل كيف المسير وأي درب يوصل يم فرحه
How can he find the way and the path that leads to happiness?

ومن هو بنى بالوهم صرحه في الخفا
And those who have built their castles in the sand

لو بان صرحه معتدل يبقى المصير الهدم لا واهامه وصرحه
If their castles were revealed for what they truly are, their fate would be destruction, not their illusions

تشرق الشمس وتغيب وتغيب
The sun will always rise and set, rise and set
