فَجْأَةً، ارْتَفَعَتْ مَوْجَةٌ كَبِيرَةٌ، وَخَرَجَ صَوْتُ ضَحِكَةٍ مِنَ الصَّدَفَةِ.

Suddenly, a large wave rose, and the sound of a laugh came from the shell.

فِي تِلْكَ اللَّحْظَةِ بِالذَّاتِ نَظَرَ فِي عَيْنَيْ عَادِلٍ وَرَأَى شَيْئًا لَمْ يَتَوَقَّعْهُ لَيْسَ خَوْفًا مِنَ الْهَزِيمَةِ، بَلْ إِرْهَاقًا مِنْ نَوْعٍ آخَرَ إِرْهَاقًا نَابِعًا مِنْ سِنِينَ طَوِيلَةٍ مِنَ الْعَدَاءِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَخْتَرْهُ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمَا قَالَ عَادِلٌ بِصَوْتٍ خَافِتٍ، لَا يَكَادُ يُسْمَعُ وَسْطَ ضَجِيجِ الْجُمْهُورِ أَبِي يَحْتَضِرُ يَا كَرَمُ، وَآخِرُ كَلَامٍ قَالَهُ لِي هُوَ أَنَّهُ نَدِمَ عَلَى تِلْكَ التُّرْعَةِ اللَّعِينَةِ الَّتِي فَرَّقَتْنَا تَوَقَّفَتِ الْحَرَكَةُ تَمَامًا.

At that very moment he looked into Adel's eyes and saw something he didn't expect not fear of defeat, but exhaustion of another kind an exhaustion stemming from long years of enmity that neither of them had chosen Adel said in a faint voice, barely heard amidst the noise of the crowd My father is dying, Karam, and the last thing he said to me is that he regretted that cursed canal that divided us The movement stopped completely.

ثُمَّ قَالَتْ: لَكِنْ لِمَاذَا كَتَبَ لِي هَذَا بِالذَّاتِ؟ أَجَابَ أَبُو يُوسُفَ: لِأَنَّهُ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ جَدَّتِكِ كَانَ يَأْتِي إِلَى هُنَا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ وَيَجْلِسُ تَحْتَ هَذِهِ الْخُيُوطِ مِنَ الضَّوْءِ لِسَاعَاتٍ كَانَ يَقُولُ إِنَّهَا الطَّرِيقَةُ الْوَحِيدَةُ الَّتِي يَشْعُرُ فِيهَا بِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ وَحِيدًا تَمَامًا شَعَرَتْ لَيْلَى بِعُقْدَةٍ فِي حَلْقِهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ تَعْرِفُ هَذِهِ التَّفْصِيلَةَ عَنْ جَدِّهَا أَدْرَكَتْ فَجْأَةً أَنَّ الْمَحَلَّ لَمْ يَكُنْ مُجَرَّدَ مَكَانٍ لِلْبَيْعِ وَالشِّرَاءِ بَلْ كَانَ مَلْجَأً لِذِكْرَيَاتٍ كَامِلَةٍ وَشَاهِدًا عَلَى حُبٍّ لَمْ يَنْتَهِ حَتَّى بَعْدَ الْفِرَاقِ أَخْرَجَتْ هَاتِفَهَا وَاتَّصَلَتْ بِالْمُشْتَرِي

then she said: But why did he write this to me in particular? Abu Yusuf replied: Because after your grandmother's death he used to come here every day and sit under these threads of light for hours he used to say that it was the only way in which he felt that he was not completely alone Layla felt a lump in her throat She didn't know this detail about her grandfather She suddenly realized that the shop was not just a place for buying and selling but rather it was a sanctuary for entire memories and a witness to a love that did not end even after separation She took out her phone and called the buyer

تَحَدَّثَتَا فِي ضَوْءِ الشَّمْعَةِ عَنِ الحَقَائِقِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ غَائِبَةً، وَعَنِ المَخَاوِفِ الَّتِي أَبْعَدَتْهُمَا.

The two of them spoke in the candlelight about the facts that had been missing, and about the fears that had distanced them.

يشعر رابيه بثقل في صدره. يتذكر آخر صيف قضاه في البيت، قبل وفاة والده بأشهر، وصوت جدته تناديه من البلكونة الحجرية.

Karim sighed deeply and followed her, convinced that his long experience would be sufficient to protect them both no matter what the conditions.

كنت خايبة شوية بصح دابا مرتاحة

I was (feeling) bad a bit but now I am relieved

فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَسَاءِ مِنْ عَامِ ١٩٦٣ كَانَ الْمَسْرَحُ مُمْتَلِئًا بِالنَّاسِ وَالْفِرْقَةُ الْمُوسِيقِيَّةُ تَسْتَعِدُّ لِلْعَزْفِ بَيْنَ أَفْرَادِ الْفِرْقَةِ كَانَ شَابٌّ اسْمُهُ يُوسُفُ عَازِفُ الْكَمَانِ الْجَدِيدُ يَشْعُرُ بِتَوَتُّرٍ شَدِيدٍ كَانَتْ هَذِهِ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ يَعْزِفُ فِيهَا أَمَامَ أُمِّ كُلْثُومٍ نَفْسِهَا قَبْلَ سَاعَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْ بِدَايَةِ الْحَفْلِ فَتَحَ يُوسُفُ نُوطَتَهُ الْمُوسِيقِيَّةَ لِيُرَاجِعَ الْأُغْنِيَةَ الْأَخِيرَةَ فَجْأَةً، تَوَقَّفَتْ يَدَاهُ

On that evening of the year 1963 the theater was full of people and the musical band was preparing to play Among the members of the band there was a young man named Youssef the new violin player feeling very nervous this was the first time he played in front of Umm Kulthum herself One hour before the start of the concert Youssef opened his musical sheet (score) to review the last song Suddenly, his hands stopped

شَعَرَ بِالضَّيَاعِ لِلَحْظَةٍ، لٰكِنَّهُ تَذَكَّرَ نَصِيحَةَ جَدِّهِ الْقَدِيمَةَ: «اِتَّبِعِ اتِّجَاهَ الرِّيحِ، فَهِيَ لَا تَكْذِبُ.»

He felt lost for a moment, but he remembered his grandfather's old advice: “Follow the direction of the wind, for it does not lie.”

أنا يوسف، وجاي أطلب إيد بنتكم مريم رغم كل بحر بينا وبينها [صوت بكاء خفيف من الفرحة] بس هي اللي وافقت من زمان، النهاردة بس بنعلن قدام الناس

I'm Yusuf, and I've come to ask for your daughter Maryam's hand despite all the seas between us and her [soft crying from joy], but she said yes a long time ago; today we're just announcing it in front of everyone.

تَرَى مَصَابِيحَ نُحَاسِيَّةً جَمِيلَةً وَتَسْمَعُ أَصْوَاتَ الْبَاعَةِ الْمَرِحَةِ.

She sees beautiful copper lamps and hears the cheerful voices of the sellers.

وَفِي نِهَايَةِ الحِوَارِ، شَعَرَتَا بِمَزِيجٍ مِنَ الرَّاحَةِ وَالسكينة، مُدْرِكَتَيْنِ أَنَّ أَهَمَّ مَا قِيلَ، قِيلَ فِي الظَّلَامِ.

And at the end of the conversation, they felt a mix of relief and tranquility, realizing that the most important things said, were said in the dark.

عَادَ اَلدِّفْءُ إِلَى صَوْتِهَا، وَتَبِعَهَا اَلْعَازِفُونَ وَاحِدًا بَعْدَ اَلْآخَرِ.

Warmth returned to her voice, And the musicians followed her one after another.

يَعُودُ سَامِي إِلَى بَيْتِهِ مَسْرُورًا.

returns Sami to his house happy / pleased.

قَالَتْ أُمِّي بِبُرُودَةٍ: "بَعْدَ عِشْرِينَ عَامًا، تَتَذَكَّرِينَنِي أَخِيرًا؟ لِمَاذَا أَتَيْتِ؟" مَدَّتْ خَالَتِي سَلْمَى يَدَهَا وَفَتَحَتْ عُلْبَةً صَغِيرَةً.

My mother said coldly: "After twenty years, do you finally remember me?" Why did you come?" My aunt Salma reached out her hand and opened a small box.

وأنت الوحيد الغيور منّي.

And you are the only one jealous of me.

ثُمَّ كَانَ يَصْمُتُ قَلِيلًا، وَفِي عَيْنَيْهِ ظِلٌّ مِنَ الأَسَى، لِأَنَّهُ عَرَفَ أَنَّ النَّجَاةَ أَحْيَانًا تَأْتِي بِثَمَنٍ لَا يُنْسَى: كَرَامَةٌ مَجْرُوحَةٌ، وَسُؤَالٌ يَبْقَى بِلَا جَوَابٍ إِلَى الأَبَدِ - هَلْ كَانَ الجَاسُوسُ المَجْهُولُ صَادِقًا حَقًّا، أَمْ أَنَّ حَلَبَ نَجَتْ يَوْمَهَا بِمُجَرَّدِ الحَظِّ وَحْدَهُ؟

Then he would go silent for a while, with a shadow of sorrow in his eyes, because he knew that survival sometimes comes with an unforgettable price: a wounded dignity, and a question that remains unanswered forever - was the unknown spy truly honest, or did Aleppo survive that day by mere luck alone?

بَدَأَتِ الأَنْوَارُ تَرْتَجِفُ، فَبِأَصَابِعَ مُتَرَدِّدَةٍ، ضَغَطَتْ زِرَّ الإِرْسَالِ ثُمَّ انْطَفَأَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ.

The lights began to flicker, so with hesitant fingers, she pressed the send button then everything went out (the power cut).

ظنيت إذا خوفتها هي، بترتاح عيلتي وبنخلص كلنا من هاد الكابوس.

I thought if I scared her, my family would be safe/at ease and we would all be finished with this nightmare.

شَعَرْتُ بِالْخِزْيِ الشَّدِيدِ.

I felt extreme shame.

مستغربة إنه اسم يزن اختفى فجأة.

I'm surprised that Yazan's name suddenly disappeared.

خويا كنت خايفة عليك من زمان، وحسيت بلي فيك شي حاجة مقلقاك 💔 كنت غادي نبقى معاك مهما كان.

Brother, I've been afraid for you for a long time, and I felt that there was something worrying you I was going to stay with you no matter what.

جَلَسَ يُوسُفُ فِي حَفْلِ زِفَافِ أُخْتِهِ، وَهُوَ يَشْعُرُ بِالرَّاحَةِ وَالِامْتِنَانِ.

Yusuf sat at his sister's wedding party, while feeling relief and gratitude.

فِي تِلْكَ اللَّحْظَةِ بِالذَّاتِ نَظَرَ فِي عَيْنَيْ عَادِلٍ وَرَأَى شَيْئًا لَمْ يَتَوَقَّعْهُ لَيْسَ خَوْفًا مِنَ الْهَزِيمَةِ، بَلْ إِرْهَاقًا مِنْ نَوْعٍ آخَرَ إِرْهَاقًا نَابِعًا مِنْ سِنِينَ طَوِيلَةٍ مِنَ الْعَدَاءِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَخْتَرْهُ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمَا قَالَ عَادِلٌ بِصَوْتٍ خَافِتٍ، لَا يَكَادُ يُسْمَعُ وَسْطَ ضَجِيجِ الْجُمْهُورِ أَبِي يَحْتَضِرُ يَا كَرَمُ، وَآخِرُ كَلَامٍ قَالَهُ لِي هُوَ أَنَّهُ نَدِمَ عَلَى تِلْكَ التُّرْعَةِ اللَّعِينَةِ الَّتِي فَرَّقَتْنَا تَوَقَّفَتِ الْحَرَكَةُ تَمَامًا.

At that very moment he looked into Adel's eyes and saw something he didn't expect not fear of defeat, but exhaustion of another kind an exhaustion stemming from long years of enmity that neither of them had chosen Adel said in a faint voice, barely heard amidst the noise of the crowd My father is dying, Karam, and the last thing he said to me is that he regretted that cursed canal that divided us The movement stopped completely.

شَعَرَتْ سَلْمَى بِغُصَّةٍ فِي حَلْقِهَا وَبِالْحُزْنِ الْعَمِيقِ.

Salma felt a lump in her throat and a deep sadness.

ما نعرفش كيفاش نشكركم... كنت قريبة نفقد كل شي بسبب حسد ما كنتش نتصور حتى وجوده.

I don't know how to thank you... I was close to losing everything because of envy I couldn't even imagine existed.

كُلَّ رَبِيعٍ، حِينَ يَنْتَهِي الْحَصَادُ وَتَخْلُو الْحُقُولُ كَانَ شَابٌّ مِنْ "بَيْتِ السَّيِّدِ" يُصَارِعُ شَابًّا مِنْ "بَيْتِ الْجِنْدِيِّ" أَمَامَ الْقَرْيَةِ بِأَكْمَلِهَا فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، تُغْلِقُ الدَّكَاكِينُ أَبْوَابَهَا، وَيَتَوَقَّفُ صَوْتُ السَّاقِيَةِ عَنِ الدَّوَرَانِ وَتَتَجَمَّعُ النِّسَاءُ عَلَى أَسْطُحِ الْبُيُوتِ لِيُشَاهِدْنَ مَا يَجْرِي فِي السَّاحَةِ الطِّينِيَّةِ الْوَسِيعَةِ بِجِوَارِ الْجَامِعِ الْقَدِيمِ كَانَ الْجَوُّ مَشْحُونًا بِتَوَتُّرٍ لَا يُخْطِئُهُ أَحَدٌ حَيْثُ يَتَرَقَّبُ الْجَمِيعُ انْتِصَارَ عَائِلَتِهِمْ كَأَنَّهُ انْتِصَارٌ لِلْكَرَامَةِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْعَامِ، كَانَ الْمُنْتَظَرُ أَنْ يَفُوزَ "كَرَمٌ" ابْنُ بَيْتِ السَّيِّدِ، بِسُهُولَةٍ مُطْلَقَةٍ كَانَ شَابًّا فِي الْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ، عَرِيضَ الْمَنْكِبَيْنِ، مَفْتُولَ الْعَضَلَاتِ تَدَرَّبَ طَوَالَ فَصْلِ الشِّتَاءِ عَلَى الرَّمْلِ السَّاخِنِ أَمَّا خَصْمُهُ، "عَادِلٌ" مِنْ بَيْتِ الْجِنْدِيِّ، فَقَدْ عَادَ لِلتَّوِّ مِنَ الْقَاهِرَةِ

Every spring, when the harvest ends and the fields become empty a young man from 'Beit al-Sayyid' would wrestle a young man from 'Beit al-Jindi' in front of the entire village On that day, the shops close their doors, and the sound of the waterwheel stops turning and the women gather on the roofs of the houses to watch what happens in the wide muddy square next to the old mosque The atmosphere was charged with a tension that no one could miss as everyone anticipated the victory of their family as if it were a victory for dignity In that year, it was expected that 'Karam' would win the son of Beit al-Sayyid, with absolute ease He was a young man of twenty, broad-shouldered, with well-built muscles He trained throughout the winter season on the hot sand As for his opponent, 'Adel' from Beit al-Jindi, he had just returned from Cairo

When the wind calmed down in the morning, Ibrahim found himself confused/lost for the first time in his life.

في واحد عم يحكي بصوت عالي شوي، متضايق من شي

There is one speaking a bit loudly, annoyed by something

نَادَيْتُ أُمِّي بِصَوْتٍ مُرْتَبِكٍ، وَعِنْدَمَا خَرَجَتْ وَرَأَتِ الْمَرْأَةَ، تَجَمَّدَتْ فِي مَكَانِهَا كَأَنَّهَا رَأَتْ شَبَحًا.

I called my mother in a confused voice, and when she came out and saw the woman, she froze in her place as if she had seen a ghost.

في اليوم التالي، التقى أبو محمود وأم فراس عند بوابة المطار، شربا قهوة سريعة، وودّع كل واحد الآخر بابتسامة اطمئنان قبل أن يذهب كل منهما إلى طائرته.

شَعَرَ سَالِمٌ فِي تِلْكَ اللَّحْظَةِ بِفَخْرٍ عَمِيقٍ.

ماما تضحك بدون سبب.

Mama laughs for no reason.

يا جماعة سامحوني بجد، آخر مرة أشك بحدا بدون ما يسأل الأول

O people, forgive me truly, this is the last time I doubt anyone without asking first

تَخَافُ الْبِنْتُ قَلِيلًا وَتَتَرَاجَعُ.

The girl is a little afraid and steps back.

يَقُولُ جُنْدِيٌّ شَابٌّ لِصَاحِبِهِ أَنَا خَائِفٌ جَيْشُ المَلِكِ لُذْرِيقَ كَبِيرٌ جِدًّا وَنَحْنُ قَلِيلُونَ يَجِبُ أَنْ نَرْجِعَ الآنَ يَسْمَعُ طَارِقٌ هَذِهِ الكَلِمَاتِ بِقَلْبٍ ثَقِيلٍ يَعْرِفُ أَنَّ الخَوْفَ سَيَنْتَشِرُ بَيْنَ الجُنُودِ مِثْلَ النَّارِ يَجْلِسُ طَارِقٌ وَحِيدًا تَحْتَ النُّجُومِ وَيُفَكِّرُ طَوِيلًا فِي الصَّبَاحِ

A young soldier says to his companion I am afraid King Roderic's army is very big and we are few We must go back now Tariq hears these words with a heavy heart He knows that fear will spread among the soldiers like fire Tariq sits alone under the stars and thinks for a long time In the morning

جَدِّي يَبْتَسِمُ بِفَرَحٍ كَبِيرٍ.

My grandfather smiles with great joy.

لَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَبْكِ عَلَى المَالِ فَقَطْ.

But he did not cry over the money only.

خَافَتْ سَلْمَى وَقَالَتْ: «أَنَا آسِفَةٌ.

Salma became frightened and said, “I’m sorry.

خلونا نحكي بهدوء 💔

Let's talk calmly 💔

خِفْتُ أَنْ يَعْرِفَ أَحَدٌ أَنِّي دَخَلْتُ.»

I was afraid that someone would know that I had entered.”

خفت تزعلي مني 🥺

I was afraid you would be upset with me 🥺

طيب هدّوا يا شباب.

Okay, calm down guys.

أنا... أشعر بخجل شديد الآن.

I... feel very ashamed now.

تتوقف لارا قبل أن تكتب مجددًا، كأنها تتردد.

Lara pauses before typing again, as if hesitating.

أرجو أن يشرح أحد ما هذا 😡

I hope someone explains what this is 😡

تأثرت 🥹

I'm touched 🥹

ما كنت أعرف إنك تحس هيك

I didn't know you feel this way

وَعِنْدَمَا سَأَلَهُ أَحَدُ الْغُرَبَاءِ يَوْمًا: أَلَا تَنْدَمُ عَلَى شُرْبِ مَاءِ تِلْكَ الْبِئْرِ؟ أَجَابَ سَالِمٌ بِابْتِسَامَةٍ: فِي الْبِدَايَةِ، كُنْتَ أَظُنُّ أَنَّنِي خَسِرْتُ حَيَاتِي.

And when one of the strangers asked him one day: Don't you regret drinking the water of that well? Salem replied with a smile: In the beginning, I used to think that I had lost my life.

لَكِنَّ الْأَمْرَ الَّذِي وَصَلَ إِلَى "لُوسْيَان" كَانَ قَاسِيًا: يَجِبُ تَرْكُ الْمَرْضَى الَّذِينَ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ الْمَشْيَ، لِأَنَّ الْعَرَبَاتِ لَا تَتَّسِعُ لِلْجَمِيعِ، وَلِأَنَّ الْجَيْشَ يَخْشَى أَنْ يَنْقُلَ الْمَرَضَ مَعَهُ.

But the order that reached Lucien was harsh: the sick who cannot walk must be left behind, because the carriages do not have room for everyone, and because the army fears spreading (carrying) the disease with it.

بغيت أشارككم خبر حلو، العميل تواصل معاي أمس وقال إنه معجب جدًا بتصميم البرج، خصوصًا الواجهة الزجاجية المتحركة

I wanted to share sweet news with you, the client contacted me yesterday and said he is very impressed with the tower design, especially the kinetic glass facade

غلطة إنذار بس قلبي طالع

False alarm but my heart is racing

فِي تِلْكَ الصَّفْحَةِ، كَانَتْ تُوجَدُ نَغْمَةٌ خَاصَّةٌ نَغْمَةٌ تَرْبِطُ بَيْنَ جُزْأَيْنِ مُخْتَلِفَيْنِ مِنَ الْأُغْنِيَةِ وَبِدُونِهَا سَتَبْدُو الْمُوسِيقَى غَرِيبَةً وَغَيْرَ مُتَّصِلَةٍ نَظَرَ يُوسُفُ حَوْلَهُ بِقَلَقٍ مَاذَا يَفْعَلُ؟ إِذَا أَخْبَرَ الْمَايِسْتْرُو الْآنَ فَقَدْ يَغْضَبُ لِأَنَّ الْوَقْتَ ضَيِّقٌ جِدًّا وَإِذَا سَكَتَ، فَقَدْ يُخْطِئُ فِي أَثْنَاءِ الْعَزْفِ أَمَامَ الْجَمِيعِ تَذَكَّرَ يُوسُفُ كَلَامَ وَالِدِهِ الصِّدْقُ دَائِمًا أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الْخَوْفِ فَقَرَّرَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ إِلَى الْمَايِسْتْرُو وَجَدَ الْمَايِسْتْرُو وَاقِفًا بِجَانِبِ الْمَسْرَحِ

On that page, there was a special note a note that connects two different parts of the song and without it, the music would sound strange and disconnected Youssef looked around anxiously What should he do? If he tells the maestro now he might get angry because the time is very tight And if he remains silent, he might make a mistake during the playing in front of everyone Youssef remembered his father's words Honesty is always better than fear So he decided to go to the maestro He found the maestro standing beside the stage

أَضْحَكُ وَأَبْكِي.

I laugh and I cry.

لا يا فيصل.. انت حرجت نفسك من ثلاثة اسابيع

No Faisal.. you embarrassed yourself three weeks ago

يَصِلُ الْحُكَّامُ وَيُعْجَبُونَ بِالرَّسْمِ كَثِيرًا.

The judges arrive and they are very impressed by the drawing.

طبعاً! هي رح تحبك، بتحب الأساتذة القدامى 😄

Of course! She will love you, she loves the old professors 😄

عِنْدَمَا رَآهُ عَمُّ سَالِم، بَكَى مِنَ الْفَرَحِ.

When Uncle Salim saw it, he cried from joy.

سألها: "هل هذا الزيتون لجدتك أم سامي؟" تفاجأت ليلى.

He asked her: "Are these olives for your grandmother, Umm Sami?" Layla was surprised.

لَكِنَّ مَا كَانَ يُقْلِقُ لَيْلَى لَيْسَ الظَّلَامَ نَفْسَهُ، بَلْ أَنَّهَا كَتَبَتْ رِسَالَةً طَوِيلَةً وَمُؤْلِمَةً لِأُخْتِهَا سَلْمَى، وَلَمْ تَجْرُؤْ عَلَى ضَغْطِ زِرِّ الإِرْسَالِ حَتَّى تِلْكَ اللَّحْظَةِ.

But what was worrying Layla was not the darkness itself, but rather that she had written a long and painful message to her sister Salma, and she hadn't dared to press the send button until that moment.

نَادَيْتُ أُمِّي بِصَوْتٍ مُرْتَبِكٍ، وَعِنْدَمَا خَرَجَتْ وَرَأَتِ الْمَرْأَةَ، تَجَمَّدَتْ فِي مَكَانِهَا كَأَنَّهَا رَأَتْ شَبَحًا.

I called my mother in a confused voice, and when she came out and saw the woman, she froze in her place as if she had seen a ghost.

مش هقدر أهدي العمال غير كده

I won't be able to calm the workers other than that

لَا عُنْوَانَ، وَلَا طَابَعَ بَرِيدِيَّ، كَأَنَّ الجَدَّةَ كَتَبَتْهَا لِتُفَرِّغَ مَا فِي قَلْبِهَا، دُونَ أَنْ تَنْوِيَ إِرْسَالَهَا يَوْمًا إِلَى وَجْهَتِهَا المَقْصُودَةِ.

No address, and no postage stamp, as if the grandmother had written them to empty what was in her heart, without intending to ever send them to their intended destination.

كَانَ شَابٌّ مِنْ "بَيْتِ السَّيِّدِ" يُصَارِعُ شَابًّا مِنْ "بَيْتِ الْجِنْدِيِّ" أَمَامَ الْقَرْيَةِ بِأَكْمَلِهَا فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، تُغْلِقُ الدَّكَاكِينُ أَبْوَابَهَا، وَيَتَوَقَّفُ صَوْتُ السَّاقِيَةِ عَنِ الدَّوَرَانِ وَتَتَجَمَّعُ النِّسَاءُ عَلَى أَسْطُحِ الْبُيُوتِ لِيُشَاهِدْنَ مَا يَجْرِي فِي السَّاحَةِ الطِّينِيَّةِ الْوَسِيعَةِ بِجِوَارِ الْجَامِعِ الْقَدِيمِ كَانَ الْجَوُّ مَشْحُونًا بِتَوَتُّرٍ لَا يُخْطِئُهُ أَحَدٌ حَيْثُ يَتَرَقَّبُ الْجَمِيعُ انْتِصَارَ عَائِلَتِهِمْ كَأَنَّهُ انْتِصَارٌ لِلْكَرَامَةِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْعَامِ، كَانَ الْمُنْتَظَرُ أَنْ يَفُوزَ "كَرَمٌ" ابْنُ بَيْتِ السَّيِّدِ، بِسُهُولَةٍ مُطْلَقَةٍ كَانَ شَابًّا فِي الْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ، عَرِيضَ الْمَنْكِبَيْنِ، مَفْتُولَ الْعَضَلَاتِ تَدَرَّبَ طَوَالَ فَصْلِ الشِّتَاءِ عَلَى الرَّمْلِ السَّاخِنِ أَمَّا خَصْمُهُ، "عَادِلٌ" مِنْ بَيْتِ الْجِنْدِيِّ، فَقَدْ عَادَ لِلتَّوِّ مِنَ الْقَاهِرَةِ حَيْثُ كَانَ يَعْمَلُ فِي وَرْشَةِ حِدَادَةٍ شَاقَّةٍ

a young man from 'Beit al-Sayyid' would wrestle a young man from 'Beit al-Jindi' in front of the entire village On that day, the shops close their doors, and the sound of the waterwheel stops turning and the women gather on the roofs of the houses to watch what happens in the wide muddy square next to the old mosque The atmosphere was charged with a tension that no one could miss as everyone anticipated the victory of their family as if it were a victory for dignity In that year, it was expected that 'Karam' would win the son of Beit al-Sayyid, with absolute ease He was a young man of twenty, broad-shouldered, with well-built muscles He trained throughout the winter season on the hot sand As for his opponent, 'Adel' from Beit al-Jindi, he had just returned from Cairo where he was working in a demanding blacksmith workshop

اِسْتَغْرَبَتْ لَيْلَى وَسَأَلَتْ: "مَدْفُوعَةٌ؟ مِمَّنْ؟" أَجَابَ سَامِر وَهُوَ يَمْسَحُ الطَّاوِلَةَ: "شَخْصٌ خَرَجَ مُنْذُ دَقَائِقَ.

Layla was surprised and asked: "Paid? By whom?" Samir answered while wiping the table: "Someone who left minutes ago.

طبيعي، السر يثقل والحقيقة تريح

Natural, secrets weigh heavy and the truth is a relief

كنت عايزاه يبقى سر لحد ما يكتمل الورق، مش عايزة تتحمس وبعدين ينهار الموضوع

I wanted it to remain a secret until the papers were completed, I didn't want you to get excited and then the matter collapse

هفكر في حاجه، بس متخافيش، هيبقى شيء يفرحك

I'll think of something, but don't be afraid, it will be something that makes you happy

نَظَرَ أَبُو خَالِدٍ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ طَوِيلًا، ثُمَّ تَنَهَّدَ وَقَالَ: "تَفَضَّلِي بِالدُّخُولِ، وَسَأُخْبِرُكِ الْحَقِيقَةَ كُلَّهَا".

Abu Khalid looked at the ground for a long time, then sighed and said: 'Please come in, and I will tell you the whole truth.'

دمعت عيناها فجأة.

Suddenly, her eyes filled with tears.

ثم ضمت ليلى بحنان.

Then she hugged Layla tenderly.

اهدأ يا ولدي.

Calm down, my son.

شَعَرَتْ يُسْرَى بِفُضُولٍ يَتَأَجَّجُ فِي دَاخِلِهَا، كَأَنَّهَا تَقِفُ عَلَى أَعْتَابِ حِكَايَةٍ لَمْ تُحْكَ قَطُّ.

Yusra felt a curiosity flaring up inside her, as if she were standing on the threshold of a story that had never been told.

بس ما حبيت أزعلكم أكتر.

But I didn't want to make you all more sad.

كَرِيمٌ يَشْعُرُ بِقَلَقٍ كَبِيرٍ.

Karim feels great anxiety.

لَنْ أَتْرُكَكِ وَحِيدَةً أَبَدًا."

I will never leave you alone.'

لَكِنَّ عَيْنَيِ الْجَدَّةِ تَحْمِلَانِ قَلَقًا خَفِيًّا.

But the grandmother's eyes carry a hidden worry.

تَقُولُ لَهَا بِدُمُوعٍ: "فَعَلْتُهَا يَا جَدَّتِي!

She says to her with tears: "I did it, Grandma!

تعبت من إني دايمًا أطلب.

I'm tired of always asking.

أَحَسَّ بِالْخَوْفِ وَالنَّدَمِ يَتَسَلَّلَانِ إِلَى قَلْبِهِ.

He felt fear and regret creeping into his heart.

والله يا أخوي... زوجي رحمه الله كان نفسه يروح للعمرة قبل ما يتوفى، وما قدر... وأنا نذرت لحالي إني أروح عنه هالسنة... مش قادرة أفكر إني بلا مقعد

Honestly, brother... My husband, may God have mercy on him, wanted to go for Umrah before he passed away, and he couldn't... And I vowed to myself that I would go on his behalf this year... I can't imagine being without a seat.

وَكَانَ خَطَأٌ صَغِيرٌ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يُغَيِّرَ النَّتِيجَةَ.

A small mistake could change the result.

أَغْلَقَتِ الْهَاتِفَ وَنَظَرَتْ إِلَى السَّيِّدُ خَالِدٍ بِخَجَلٍ.

She closed/turned off the phone and looked at Mr. Khalid shyly.

بَعْضُ الأَبْوَابِ فِي الحَيَاةِ يَجِبُ أَنْ تَبْقَى مُغْلَقَةً لِكَيْ لَا نُعِيدَ فَتْحَ جُرُوحٍ قَدِيمَةٍ.

Some doors in life must remain closed so that we do not reopen old wounds.

صراحة صوتك هذا أثر فيا، شكلك متضايق برشا

Honestly your voice affected me, you look very upset

قال إنه يقدر الشفافية اللي جت أخيرًا..

He said that he appreciates the transparency that finally came..

تَعَلَّمَ أَنَّ الثِّقَةَ بِالنَّفْسِ شَيْءٌ جَمِيلٌ، لَكِنَّ الِاسْتِمَاعَ إِلَى خِبْرَةِ الْآخَرِينَ أَجْمَلُ.

He learned that self-confidence is a beautiful thing, but listening to the experience of others is more beautiful.

يا دكتورة... أنا آسف. آسف جدًا. دانا... دانا خطيبتي. وهي في فترة تجربة، لو انكشف خطأ باسمها سينهون عقدها فورًا. أنا لما رأيت اسمك في السجل، قلت خلاص، هذا... هذا حل يريحني من الموقف. لم أفكر فيكِ أصلًا يا دكتورة، فكرت فقط في حالها. وأنا مخطئ، أعرف أنني مخطئ.

Doctor... I am sorry. Very sorry. Dana... Dana is my fiancée. And she is on a probationary period, if a mistake is revealed under her name, they will terminate her contract immediately. When I saw your name on the record, I thought, 'That's it, this... this is a solution that will save me from the situation.' I didn't think about you at all, Doctor, I only thought about her situation. And I am wrong, I know I am wrong.

كُلَّ رَبِيعٍ، حِينَ يَنْتَهِي الْحَصَادُ وَتَخْلُو الْحُقُولُ كَانَ شَابٌّ مِنْ "بَيْتِ السَّيِّدِ" يُصَارِعُ شَابًّا مِنْ "بَيْتِ الْجِنْدِيِّ" أَمَامَ الْقَرْيَةِ بِأَكْمَلِهَا فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، تُغْلِقُ الدَّكَاكِينُ أَبْوَابَهَا، وَيَتَوَقَّفُ صَوْتُ السَّاقِيَةِ عَنِ الدَّوَرَانِ وَتَتَجَمَّعُ النِّسَاءُ عَلَى أَسْطُحِ الْبُيُوتِ لِيُشَاهِدْنَ مَا يَجْرِي فِي السَّاحَةِ الطِّينِيَّةِ الْوَسِيعَةِ بِجِوَارِ الْجَامِعِ الْقَدِيمِ كَانَ الْجَوُّ مَشْحُونًا بِتَوَتُّرٍ لَا يُخْطِئُهُ أَحَدٌ حَيْثُ يَتَرَقَّبُ الْجَمِيعُ انْتِصَارَ عَائِلَتِهِمْ كَأَنَّهُ انْتِصَارٌ لِلْكَرَامَةِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْعَامِ، كَانَ الْمُنْتَظَرُ أَنْ يَفُوزَ "كَرَمٌ" ابْنُ بَيْتِ السَّيِّدِ، بِسُهُولَةٍ مُطْلَقَةٍ كَانَ شَابًّا فِي الْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ، عَرِيضَ الْمَنْكِبَيْنِ، مَفْتُولَ الْعَضَلَاتِ تَدَرَّبَ طَوَالَ فَصْلِ الشِّتَاءِ عَلَى الرَّمْلِ السَّاخِنِ أَمَّا خَصْمُهُ، "عَادِلٌ" مِنْ بَيْتِ الْجِنْدِيِّ، فَقَدْ عَادَ لِلتَّوِّ مِنَ الْقَاهِرَةِ

Every spring, when the harvest ends and the fields become empty a young man from 'Beit al-Sayyid' would wrestle a young man from 'Beit al-Jindi' in front of the entire village On that day, the shops close their doors, and the sound of the waterwheel stops turning and the women gather on the roofs of the houses to watch what happens in the wide muddy square next to the old mosque The atmosphere was charged with a tension that no one could miss as everyone anticipated the victory of their family as if it were a victory for dignity In that year, it was expected that 'Karam' would win the son of Beit al-Sayyid, with absolute ease He was a young man of twenty, broad-shouldered, with well-built muscles He trained throughout the winter season on the hot sand As for his opponent, 'Adel' from Beit al-Jindi, he had just returned from Cairo

جَمَدَ فِي مَكَانِهِ، وَشَعَرَ بِالنَّدَمِ يَعْصِرُ قَلْبَهُ.

He froze in his place, and felt regret squeezing his heart.

يوسف، بغيت نقول ليك حاجة... ماشي غير على القبطان، بصح شكراً باش دايماً كاين ليا، حتى كي كنكون خايبة. حسيت بالوحدة شوية من بعد باباك، بصح دابا فهمت بلي عندي عائلة كاملة. حبيتكم بزاف.

Youssef, I wanted to tell you something... It's not just about the captain, but thank you for always being there for me, even when I'm difficult. I felt a little lonely after your father, but now I understand that I have a whole family. I love you all very much.

وَكُلَّ مَسَاءٍ، تَجْلِسُ قُرْبَ أَخِيهَا عِنْدَ النَّارِ، لَا لِتَسْمَعَ الْقِصَّةَ فَقَطْ، بَلْ لِتَشْعُرَ بِالْأَمَانِ بِجِوَارِهِ.

And every evening, she sits near her brother by the fire, not just to hear the story, but to feel safe by his side.

هاد صوته بارد كتير...

This guy's voice is very cold...

بس أول مرة أحس إن الموضوع خفيف على صدري

But for the first time I feel that the subject is light on my chest

عِنْدَمَا رَأَى "لُوسْيَان" الشِّرَاعَ يَرْتَفِعُ، شَعَرَ بِدُمُوعٍ سَاخِنَةٍ تَنْزِلُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ، لَيْسَتْ مِنَ الْحُزْنِ هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةَ، بَلْ مِنَ الرَّاحَةِ.

When Lucien saw the sail rising, he felt hot tears falling on his face, not from sadness this time, but from relief.

ابْتَسَمَتْ سُعَادُ وَعَانَقَتْهَا بِحَرَارَةٍ، وَقَالَتْ: "الطَّبْخُ يُصْلِحُ أَشْيَاءَ كَثِيرَةً، حَتَّى الْقُلُوبَ الْمَكْسُورَةَ."

Suad smiled and hugged her warmly, and said: "Cooking repairs many things, even broken hearts."

صغيرة؟! والله العجب

Small?! Good heavens (what a wonder)

يَشْرَبُ الشَّيْخُ الشَّايَ، وَيَهْدَأُ وَجْهُهُ.

The Sheikh drinks the tea, and his face calms down.
