Poetry is the consummate mercenary, it can adapt to anyone, and anything really (often for the right price, ask Al-Mutanabbi!). This is a template poem that can be used in addressing a woman one loves, all it needs is a two syllable name to place where I have left a ____ !
Oh Pygmalion! Had you known
That _______ was on her way
Would have you dared shown
Galatea the light of day?
A queen who needs no throne
Her smile does hold a sway
Lovely April’s sun at dawn
Lovelier her smile in May!
Her love makes my words tremble
Heavens ! The will that I may say:
“In your voice I hear the choir,
of nightingales when they pray!”

The principle is universal, now in Arabic, but in the opposite context :
Oh Pygmalion! Had you known

The principle is universal, now in Arabic, but in the opposite context :
نسيتك وما الليالي طوال لوجه القمر لست أبدا مثال
وما كل صعب بجميل وما الشوك إلا صعب المنال
ظننت أن العيش بصعب بدونك وضرب م المحال
فوجدت روحي عادت إل ي والنوم صار سمة الليالي
وما عاد الجمال فيك حصرا وصار في كل الكون الجمال
No trademark on the templates !
