Tell me, “I love you”,
so my beauty may increase,

For without your love,
I can’t be beautiful,

Tell me, “I love you”,
so my fingers can turn to gold,
And my brow can light up like a candle.

Say it now! And do not hesitate,
For some love cannot stand to wait...

~~ Kazem Al-Saher (lyrics of the song Qooli Ohiboka)
