Listen to poem:
Whispered Words - Habibi
My whispered words carried by the distant winds
Over the oceans mixed with the sounds of violins
Arriving softly into your ears as you sleep at night
That will make you smile, and in your heart excite
Reminding you I'm in your body, and in your soul
I am your man, and your heart, I remain in control
Over the desert dunes to our very own pure oasis
Where the drifting winds, on our footsteps erases
Our time spent watching, as the Gazelle idly graze
As on the horizon heat creates a shimmering haze
Under the protection of palm trees to give us cool
From a red hot sun, that would be otherwise cruel
Taking turns to recite from Rumi, the Persian poet
With heartfelt feelings on each other we bestow it
And time spent, as a sun on us both says goodbye
Where then, a crescent moon and stars shine high
With our eyes closed, silent wishes are then made
Our wealth, happiness and health we both prayed
Wrapped in quilted garbs, by camel then set home
Until you're rested in your bed by yourself all alone
My last whispered words in your ear then I’m gone
Habibi, it is for you that I only in your heart belong
