تَعَلَّمَ أَنَّ الْوَعْدَ الْحَقِيقِيَّ لَيْسَ فِي الْوُصُولِ فِي الْوَقْتِ الْمُحَدَّدِ، بَلْ فِي الْعَوْدَةِ سَالِمًا إِلَى مَنْ يُحِبُّهُمْ.

He learned that the real promise is not in arriving at the specified time, but in returning safely to those he loves.

The water came from the east and from the west, and surrounded them.

وَقَفَ كَرِيمٌ، مُرْشِدُ الْغَوْصِ ذُو الْخِبْرَةِ الطَّوِيلَةِ وَالْوَجْهِ الَّذِي لَفَحَتْهُ شَمْسُ الصَّحْرَاءِ، عَلَى ظَهْرِ الْقَارِبِ يَتَفَحَّصُ الْأُفُقَ بِعَيْنَيْنِ حَذِرَتَيْنِ، بَيْنَمَا كَانَتْ لَيْلَى، عَالِمَةُ الْأَحْيَاءِ الْبَحْرِيَّةِ الشَّابَّةُ، تُرَاجِعُ أَجْهِزَتَهَا بِسُرْعَةٍ وَتَوَتُّرٍ وَاضِحٍ يَبْدُو عَلَى حَرَكَاتِ يَدَيْهَا الْمُرْتَجِفَتَيْنِ قَلِيلًا.

Karim, the diving instructor with long experience, and the face scorched by the desert sun, on the deck of the boat, scanning the horizon with cautious eyes, while Layla, the young marine biologist, was checking her equipment quickly and with a clear tension showing on her hand movements which were trembling slightly.

كَتَبَ جَدُّهَا فِي أَعْلَى الصَّفْحَةِ فَقَطْ: "سِرُّ السَّمَكِ هُوَ الْحُبُّ..."

Her grandfather wrote at the top of the page only: “The secret of the fish is love...”

تَقَارِيرُ الْأَرْصَادِ الْجَوِّيَّةِ ذَكَرَتِ احْتِمَالَ وُصُولِ عَاصِفَةٍ رَمْلِيَّةٍ قَوِيَّةٍ قَادِمَةٍ مِنَ الصَّحْرَاءِ الْغَرْبِيَّةِ.

In the southern marshes, where the silvery waters stretch between the reed fields, Hajji Salman lived with his grandson Yusuf in a house made of reeds floating atop a small island.

"يَجِبُ أَنْ نَسْلُكَ الطَّرِيقَ الشَّمَالِيَّ،" قَالَ سَالِمٌ وَهُوَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى خَرِيطَةٍ قَدِيمَةٍ.

"We must take the northern path," Salim said while looking at an old map.

وصلنا آخر المسار، عم نشوف الشاحنة من بعيد.

We arrived at the end of the path, we are seeing the truck from afar.

بَعْدَ رَحِيلِ الضَّيْفِ، تَقُولُ جَدَّتي: الشَّايُ الحُلْوُ يُهَيِّئُ القَلْبَ.

After the guest's departure, my grandmother says: Sweet tea prepares the heart.

قَفَزَ يُوسُفُ إِلَى الْيَسَارِ، مُتَوَقِّعًا أَنَّ كَرِيمًا سَيُسَدِّدُ كَعَادَتِهِ.

Youssef jumped to the left, expecting that Karim would shoot as usual.

لَكِنَّ شَيْئًا وَاحِدًا لَفَتَ انْتِبَاهَهَا مُنْذُ الْيَوْمِ الْأَوَّلِ: الشُّقَّةُ الْمُجَاوِرَةُ، رَقْمُ "٣ب"، كَانَتْ فَارِغَةً تَمَامًا، وَعَلَى بَابِهَا لَافِتَةٌ صَغِيرَةٌ مَكْتُوبٌ عَلَيْهَا "لِلْإِيجَارِ" مُنْذُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ عَامٍ.

But one thing caught her attention since the first day: the neighboring apartment, number '3B', was completely empty, and on its door was a small sign on which was written 'for rent' for more than a year.

أرجوك لا تقترب من حافة الوادي!!

Please don't go near the edge of the valley!!

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.

شَعَرَتْ سَلْمَى بِالْخَوْفِ، وَلَمْ يَبْقَ لَدَيْهَا وَقْتٌ لِلذَّهَابِ إِلَى الْبِئْرِ.

Salma felt afraid, and she had no time left to go to the well.

كُنْتُ أَظُنُّ أَنَّهَا فُضُولِيَّةٌ كُنْتُ أُفَكِّرُ لِمَاذَا تَأْتِي كُلَّ يَوْمٍ؟ لَكِنْ فِي يَوْمٍ مَرِضْتُ شَدِيدًا لَمْ أَسْتَطِعْ النُّهُوضَ مِنَ السَّرِيرِ سَمِعْتُ الطَّرْقَ لَكِنِّي لَمْ أَسْتَطِعْ فَتْحَ الْبَابِ فَتَحَتْ أُمُّ سَعِيدٍ الْبَابَ بِمِفْتَاحِهَا الِاحْتِيَاطِيِّ

I used to think / I thought that she was curious (nosy) I was wondering / thinking Why does she come every day? But one day I became very ill I could not get up from the bed I heard the knocking but I was not able to opening the door Umm Said opened the door with her spare key

عِنْدَمَا تُوُفِّيَتِ الجَدَّةُ سُعَادُ، لَمْ تَتْرُكْ وَرَاءَهَا لَا ثَرْوَةً طَائِلَةً وَلَا حُلِيًّا نَادِرَةً، بَلْ تَرَكَتْ صُنْدُوقًا خَشَبِيًّا صَغِيرًا، مُقْفَلًا بِإِحْكَامٍ شَدِيدٍ، فِي أَعْمَقِ زَاوِيَةٍ مِنَ الخِزَانَةِ القَدِيمَةِ المَصْنُوعَةِ مِنْ خَشَبِ الأَرْزِ.

When Grandma Souad passed away, she did not leave behind a vast fortune or rare jewelry, but rather she left a small wooden box, tightly locked, in the deepest corner of the old wardrobe made of cedar wood.

هاذي هي، حطيتها فكيس بلاستيك واخا يبان الفرق فاللون شوي فالقاع.

Here it is, I put it in a plastic bag even though a color difference shows a bit at the bottom.

حَوْلَ حِصَّةٍ مَائِيَّةٍ فِي تُرْعَةِ الرَّيِّ وَتَحَوَّلَ مَعَ مُرُورِ الزَّمَنِ إِلَى إِرْثٍ ثَقِيلٍ يَتَوَارَثُهُ الْأَبْنَاءُ دُونَ أَنْ يَعْرِفُوا سَبَبًا حَقِيقِيًّا لِهَذَا الْعَدَاءِ 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

over a water share in an irrigation canal and turned over time into a heavy legacy inherited by the sons without them knowing a real reason for this enmity 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

أنا آتية.

I am coming.

خلاص... راني خارجة للمضمار.

That's it... I am heading out to the track.

بس في صوت خطى عم يقرب

But there is the sound of footsteps approaching

خَرَجْتُ مُسْرِعًا وَطَرَقْتُ الْبَابَ.

I went out quickly and knocked on the door.

وش علاقتنا فيه؟ ليه ناقلينه هنا 😅

What is our connection to it? Why are you transferring it here?

مقلوبة؟! أنتِ؟! 😂

Maqluba?! You?!

يا ستي كل يوم بشوفك طالعة نازلة بجردل ميّ من عندي!!

Ma'am, every day I see you going up and down with a bucket of water from my place!!

طيب. أنا نازلة عالمطبخ.

Okay. I am going down to the kitchen.

هنبقى خمسة في البيت!

We will be five in the house!

يَأْتِي طِفْلٌ إِلَى الشَّجَرَةِ.

A child comes to the tree.

سَمِعَ يُوسُفُ صَوْتَ الرِّيَاحِ بَيْنَ الصُّخُورِ.

Yusuf heard the sound of the winds among the rocks.

لَا تُوجَدُ مَحَطَّةٌ، وَلَا يُوجَدُ بَيْتٌ هُنَاكَ.

There is no station. And there is no house there.

بَعْدَ دَقَائِقَ، عَادَتِ الرِّيحُ، فَوَصَلُوا إِلَى سُهَيْلٍ.

After a few minutes, the wind returned, so they arrived in Suhail.

كريم، أنا هنا معك.

Karim, I am here with you.

يُمْسِكُ سَامِي بِيَدِ عُمَرَ، وَيَعْبُرَانِ الْخَطَّ مَعًا.

Sami holds Omar’s hand, and they cross the line together.

الطِّفْلُ يَجْلِسُ عِنْدَ الْبَابِ.

The child sits by the door.

وَضَعَتْ سَلْمَى الْعِقْدَ حَوْلَ عُنُقِ لَيْلَى.

Salma put the necklace around Layla's neck.

فتحت ليلى الكيس ووضعته أمام جدتها بيدين مرتجفتين.

Layla opened the bag and placed it in front of her grandmother with trembling hands.

في صَباحٍ جَميلٍ، تَصِلُ لَيْلى، وَهِيَ سائِحَةٌ.

On a beautiful morning, Layla arrives, and she is a tourist.

أنا أمام باب الجيران!

I am in front of the neighbors' door!

كاتب فيها بالحرف: "يزن، أنا أبوك. أنا حي. سامحني."

It literally says: "Yazan, I am your father. I am alive. Forgive me."

نعم! طبق كبير، فوق القدر.

Yes! A big plate, over the pot.

كل يوم أحد، تذهب ليلى إلى بيت جدتها لتناول الغداء.

Every Sunday, Layla goes to her grandmother's house to have lunch.

شافت حدا مع هاتف داخل الصف!!

She saw someone with a phone inside the classroom!!

قَالَ: «يَا سَالِمُ، اَلْمَدُّ قَادِمٌ!»

He said, “Salem, the tide is coming!”

يَأْتِي طِفْلٌ إِلَى الشَّجَرَةِ.

A child comes to the tree.

لقيته تحت شنطة كريم مباشرة!!

I found it directly under Karim's bag!!

بس دخلت جوه وقعدت وقت طويل!!

But I went inside and stayed for a long time!!

انتظرت عشرين دقيقة أخرى حتى جاءت الحافلة التالية.

She waited another twenty minutes until the next bus came.

تَرَى البَوَّابَةَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ.

She sees the gate from afar.

الطَّرِيقُ يَمُرُّ فَوْقَ الجَبَلِ.

The road passes over the mountain.

ركضت ليلى نحو المحطة...

Layla ran towards the station...

خَرَجَتْ لَيْلَى مِنَ الْمَخْبَزِ.

Layla left the bakery.

سَامِر يَقِفُ سَاكِنًا وَيَسْتَمِعُ.

Samer stands still and listens.

فَتَحَ بَابًا صَغِيرًا خَلْفَ شَجَرَةٍ قَدِيمَةٍ.

He opened a small door behind an old tree.

تَحْمِلُ الْبِنْتُ كَامِيرَا صَغِيرَةً.

carries the girl a small camera.

تَدْخُلُ لَيْلَى قَبْلَ الغُرُوبِ بِلَحَظَاتٍ.

Layla enters before sunset by moments.

جَارَتُهُ تَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْتِهَا.

His neighbor (female) comes out from her house.

سامي... أنا قريبة! أنا أجري! انتظر!

Sami... I'm close! I'm running! Wait!

أنا عندي نفس الشامة بالضبط، قرب الترقوة!

I have the exact same mole, near the collarbone!

سَقَطْتُ مِنَ الدَّرَجِ وَكَسَرْتُ سَاقِي.

I fell from the stairs and broke my leg.

خلص روح نام تفكيرك تعبان 😂

Enough, go to sleep your thinking is tired 😂

جَدِّي يَجْلِسُ فِي الْغُرْفَةِ.

My grandfather is sitting in the room.

صحيت الصبح ونزلت عالأرض.

I woke up in the morning and went down to the land.

تَبْتَسِمُ الْمَرْأَةُ، وَتَتَحَرَّكُ الْحَافِلَةُ.

The woman smiles. And the bus moves.

من يوم ما سافرت وانتي ما رجعت غير مرتين.

Since the day you traveled and you've only come back twice.

يَغَادِرُ الْقَارِبُ فِي السَّاعَةِ السَّادِسَةِ.

The boat leaves at six o’clock.

سَارُوا بِبُطْءٍ، يَتْبَعُونَ الْعَلَامَاتِ الْحَجَرِيَّةَ وَاحِدَةً تِلْوَ الْأُخْرَى.

They moved slowly, following the stone markers one after another.

تُسَاعِدُ لَيْلَى الجَدْيَ وَتُخْرِجُهُ.

Layla helps the goat and takes him out.

يَمْشِي الشَّيْخُ بِبُطْءٍ وَيُرَتِّبُ الْأَحْذِيَةَ.

The Sheikh walks slowly and arranges the shoes.

أرجوك لا تقترب من حافة الوادي!!

Please don't go near the edge of the valley!!

تَجْلِسُ الْقِطَّةُ فِي الزَّاوِيَةِ نَفْسِهَا، وَتَنْظُرُ إِلَى الْبَابِ بِصَمْتٍ، ثُمَّ تَرْحَلُ بَعْدَ دَقَائِقَ قَلِيلَةٍ.

The cat sits in the same corner, and looks at the door in silence, then leaves after a few minutes.

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

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

يَقُودُ الْقَافِلَةَ شَابٌّ يُدْعَى سَالِمٌ، عُمْرُهُ تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ عَامًا، وَمَعَهُ عَمُّهُ فَهْدٌ، أَقْدَمُ دَلِيلٍ فِي الْمِنْطَقَةِ.

Leading the caravan was a young man named Salim, nineteen years old, and with him was his uncle Fahd, the oldest guide in the region.

كَانَتْ تَرْتَدِي ثَوْبًا أَسْوَدَ وَتَمُدُّ يَدَهَا نَحْوَهُ.

She was wearing a black dress and stretching her hand toward him.

طيب ليش قاعد بجنب الباب ويضع يده تحت الطاولة؟؟

Okay, why is he sitting by the door and putting his hand under the table??

لكنها رأت الحافلة رقم سبعة تبتعد في الشارع!

but she saw bus number seven driving away in the street!

يَقْفِزُ الجَمَلُ فَوْقَ الصَّخْرَةِ بِقُوَّةٍ.

The camel jumps over the rock with strength (powerfully).

يوسف يصعد فوق صخرة كبيرة وينظر حوله. الجبل هادئ جدا.

Youssef climbs onto a big rock and looks around. The mountain is very quiet.

كَرِيمٌ يَرْكُضُ بِسُرْعَةٍ نَحْوَ المَرْمَى.

Karim runs quickly (with speed) towards the goal.

ما بعرف وين رح توصل هاي القصة

I don't know where it will go this story

ثُمَّ مَدَّتْ يَدَهَا وَالْتَقَطَتْهَا.

Then she stretched out her hand and picked it up.

صبي صغير وبنت صغيرة، واقفين قدام بيت

A little boy and a little girl, standing in front of a house

قِفِي!"

Stop!”

رح أرجع لعمّان قريباً!

I will return to Amman soon!

تقدر توقف قدامي مباشرة...

You can stop right in front of me...

خليها جاهزة لمّا أوصل.

Keep it ready for when I arrive.

قَامَتْ أُمِّي وَاحْتَضَنَتْ أُخْتَهَا بِقُوَّةٍ.

My mother stood up and hugged her sister tightly.

وبعد شهرين، انتي سافرتي لباريس.

And two months later, you traveled to Paris.

فريق الإنقاذ صار على مسافة ٥٠٠ متر منك تقريباً، شغلي فلاش الموبايل وحركيه يمين شمال تمام...

The rescue team is now about 500 meters away from you. Turn on your phone's flashlight and wave it from side to side, okay...

يا حبيبتي، تعالي كلي معي

My dear, come eat with me

بَدَلًا مِنْ أَنْ يُسَجِّلَ، يَرْكُلُ كَرِيمٌ الكُرَةَ بَعِيدًا، خَارِجَ المَلْعَبِ.

Instead of scoring, Karim kicks the ball away, outside the field.

الآنَ، الشَّمْسُ تَخْتَفِي وَرَاءَ الجَبَلِ.

Now, the sun disappears behind the mountain.

لقيت هذا وراء الخزائن في غرفة الملابس طاح من جيب حد

I found this behind the lockers in the locker room it fell from someone's pocket

تَعَالَ إِلَى هُنَا!"

Come here!"

يَكُونُ عُمَرُ أَوَّلًا، ثُمَّ يَسْبِقُهُ سَامِي.

Omar is first, then Sami passes him.

كريم... سمح ليا. خدامة الليل صعيبة بزاف. ما بقيتش نسمع مزيان. بغيتك تعرف... راني فرحان بيك. راك كبرتي. موافق. سير لفرنسا.

Karim... forgive me. Working at night is very difficult. I can't hear well anymore. I want you to know... I'm proud of you. You've grown up. Agreed. Go to France.

وقعت مني هذي وأنا أركض أطلب المساعدة.

this fell from me while I was running to ask for help.

أبو سالم يضغط على البنزين ويمرّ بجانب المحطة المهجورة بسرعة، بدون أن ينظر يمينًا. الطريق أمامه يمتد فاضي ومظلم، وصوت الريح يضرب زجاج الشاحنة.

Abu Salem presses the gas pedal and speeds past the abandoned gas station, without looking right. The road ahead stretches out empty and dark, and the sound of the wind hits the truck's glass.

يمسك يوسف الخروف برفق ويسحبه ببطء بين الحجرين.

Youssef gently holds the sheep and pulls it slowly between the two stones.

وَرِثَ يُوسُفُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ سَيْفًا قَدِيمًا يُعَلَّقُ فَوْقَ الْبَابِ مُنْذُ أَجْيَالٍ.

Youssef inherited from his father an old sword that had been hanging above the door for generations.

تَخَافُ الْبِنْتُ قَلِيلًا وَتَتَرَاجَعُ.

The girl is a little afraid and steps back.

فتحت الحنفية بالمحل الصبح ما طلعت ولا نقطة ميّ!!!

I opened the faucet in the shop this morning and not a single drop of water came out!!!

لَكِنَّ سَلْمَى رَأَتِ الدَّمَ يَتَّجِهُ نَحْوَ الْكُثْبَانِ.

But Salma saw the blood heading toward the dunes.

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.”

ما فيه أحد حولي.

There is no one around me.

لِمَاذَا تَسْأَلِينَ؟ قَرَّرَتْ يُسْرَى أَنْ تَبْحَثَ عَنْهُ، فَانْطَلَقَتْ فِي رِحْلَةٍ بَحْثٍ قَادَتْهَا إِلَى دَارٍ لِلْمُسِنِّينَ عَلَى أَطْرَافِ المَدِينَةِ.

Why are you asking? Yusra decided to search for him, so she set off on a search journey that led her to a nursing home on the outskirts of the city.

يَتَسَاءَلُ يُوسُفُ: مَنْ يُحَرِّكُ حِذَائِي؟ فِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي، يُرَاقِبُ يُوسُفُ الْبَابَ.

Yusuf wonders: Who moves my shoes? The next day, Yusuf watches the door.

يَتَحَرَّكُ الرَّغِيفُ، ثُمَّ يَسْقُطُ وَيَطِيرُ نَحْوَ شُرْفَةِ الْجِيرَانِ.

The loaf moves, then falls and flies toward the neighbors’ balcony.

رَحَّبَتْ بِهِ الْجَدَّةُ، وَأَجْلَسَتْهُ قُرْبَ رَأْسِ اللَّحْمِ.

The grandmother welcomed him, and seated him near the main piece of meat.

ضع المفتاح في الشنطة دائماً!

Put the key in the bag always!

طيب. اذهب إلى هناك أولا

Okay. Go there first

ما فيني اطلع من مخبأي هلق، بس الصوت بيدل عالأقل تلاتة

I can't come out of my hiding place now, but the sound suggests at least three

فِي يَوْمٍ مِنَ الْأَيَّامِ، ضَلَّ طَرِيقَهُ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ.

One day (lit: on a day of the days), he lost his way in the desert.

سَمِعَ خَلْفَهُ صَرْخَةً غَاضِبَةً، لَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَلْتَفِتْ أَبَدًا.

He heard an angry scream behind him, but he never looked back.

أَحْمِلُ النَّظَّارَةَ إِلَى جَدِّي.

I carry the glasses to my grandfather.

سَافَرَتِ الْقَافِلَةُ أَيَّامًا طَوِيلَةً عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ الْقَدِيمِ الَّذِي سَلَكَهُ التُّجَّارُ مُنْذُ زَمَنِ الْمَلِكَاتِ وَالْفَاتِحِينَ، طَرِيقٍ تُرْشِدُهُ عَلَامَاتٌ صَغِيرَةٌ فَوْقَ الصُّخُورِ وَآبَارٌ يَعْرِفُ مَوَاقِعَهَا الرِّجَالُ الْكِبَارُ فَقَطْ.

The caravan traveled for many long days on the ancient road that merchants have taken since the time of queens and conquerors, a road guided by small signs on the rocks and wells whose locations only the elders know.

الناس الكل تتعدى من غادي يا سامي، مش دليل

All people pass by there Sami, it's not evidence

يعني... ممكن يكون فيه شي مخفي هون؟

I mean... could there be something hidden here?

عِنْدَمَا تَبْقَى خَمْسُونَ مِتْرًا، يَتَعَثَّرُ عُمَرُ وَيَسْقُطُ.

When fifty meters remain, Omar stumbles and falls.

يا أحمد... اسمع. النار لازم تكون هادية، مش قوية. وحط القطر بعد ما تطلع الصينية من الفرن، مش قبل. خلص، أنت قد الموضوع.

Ahmed... listen. The heat must be low, not high. And add the syrup after you take the tray out of the oven, not before. Done, you can handle it.

مَدَّ يُوسُفُ يَدَهُ لِيُصَافِحَ كَرِيمًا، لَكِنَّ كَرِيمًا أَدَارَ وَجْهَهُ بِسُرْعَةٍ وَمَشَى بَعِيدًا.

Yusuf extended his hand to shake hands with Karim, but Karim turned his face away quickly and walked away.

وأنا عشت سنين أحاول أنسى صوته وهو يصرخ ورا الستارة.

And I spent years trying to forget his voice as he screamed behind the curtain.

هَلْ نَسِيَنِي سَامِرٌ حَقًّا؟ فِي المَسَاءِ، أَمْشِي إِلَى بَيْتِي.

Did Samir really forget me? In the evening, I walk to my house.

المفتاح تحته!

The key is under it!

في نبع صغير عالطريق الترابية، عالميمين منه في مسار ضيق يودي مباشرة عالمكان

There is a small spring on the dirt road, to the right of it there is a narrow path that leads directly to the place

عم بحاول ألحقها.

I'm trying to catch it.

زَحَفَا مَعًا عَبْرَ الْعَتَمَةِ حَتَّى وَجَدَا مَلْجَأً ضَيِّقًا تَحْتَ نُتُوءٍ صَخْرِيٍّ بَارِزٍ.

They crawled together through the darkness until they found a narrow shelter under a protruding rocky ledge.

تجاهه؟ ليش؟

Towards him? Why?

جَاءَ اَلْمَاءُ مِنَ اَلشَّرْقِ وَمِنَ اَلْغَرْبِ، وَأَحَاطَ بِهِمَا.

The water came from the east and from the west, and surrounded them.

جَمَدَ فِي مَكَانِهِ، وَشَعَرَ بِالنَّدَمِ يَعْصِرُ قَلْبَهُ.

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

بنات، أرجوكم تمهلوا شوي

Girls, please slow down a bit

بس ممكن أروح أزوره أوقف قدامه، أشوف الحجر اللي كان يحكي عنه أبوي، وآخذ صورة أحتفظ فيها لعيلتنا

But I might go visit it Stand in front of it, see the stone my father used to talk about, and take a picture to keep for our family

فِي الْأَهْوَارِ الْجَنُوبِيَّةِ، حَيْثُ تَمْتَدُّ الْمِيَاهُ الْفِضِّيَّةُ بَيْنَ حُقُولِ الْقَصَبِ، عَاشَ الْحَاجُّ سَلْمَانُ مَعَ حَفِيدِهِ يُوسُفَ فِي بَيْتٍ مِنَ الْقَصَبِ يَطْفُو فَوْقَ جَزِيرَةٍ صَغِيرَةٍ.

In the southern marshes, where the silvery waters stretch between the reed fields, Hajji Salman lived with his grandson Yusuf in a house made of reeds floating atop a small island.

لقيت هذا وراء الخزائن في غرفة الملابس طاح من جيب حد

I found this behind the lockers in the locker room it fell from someone's pocket

دَاخِلَ الْعُلْبَةِ، كَانَ هُنَاكَ خَاتَمٌ ذَهَبِيٌّ قَدِيمٌ، تَتَوَسَّطُهُ حَجَرَةٌ حَمْرَاءُ صَغِيرَةٌ.

Inside the box, there was an old gold ring, with a small red stone in the center.

الصوت جنبي مباشرة 😳

The sound is right next to me 😳

فَجْأَةً، اِسْتَدَارَتْ لَيْلَى وَأَعْطَتْ ظَهْرَهَا لِلْجُمْهُورِ.

Suddenly, Layla turned around and turned her back to the audience.

أَنَا أَجْلِسُ عَلَى الْكُرْسِيِّ.

I sit on the chair.

تَذْهَبُ الغَيْمَةُ بَعِيدًا عَنِ القِمَّةِ.

goes the cloud far from the peak.

عم بدور... في رسالة ثانية بآخر الصندوق

I'm looking... there is a second letter at the end of the box

فِي الثَّانِيَةِ الْأَخِيرَةِ، رَكَضَ كَرِيمٌ نَحْوَ الْمَرْمَى بِسُرْعَةٍ كَبِيرَةٍ.

In the final second, Karim ran towards the goal with great speed.

ثُمَّ أَخَذَتِ الْبَاقِيَ إِلَى الْمُسَابَقَةِ.

Then she took the rest to the competition.

تُتَابِعُ نُورُ اللَّعِبَ، وَكُلُّ خُطْوَةٍ تُؤْلِمُهَا، لَكِنَّهَا لاَ تَتَوَقَّفُ.

Noor continues playing, and every step hurts her, but she does not stop.

الْحِجَارَةُ كَانَتْ عَلَامَاتٍ وَضَعَهَا الْبَدْوُ مُنْذُ مِئَاتِ السِّنِينَ لِيَجِدُوا طَرِيقَهُمْ فِي الْعَاصِفَةِ.

The stones were markers placed by the Bedouins hundreds of years ago to find their way in the storm.

أَدْخُلُ، فَأَرَى سِوَارَ أُمِّي عَلَى اَلْأَرْضِ.

I go in, and I see my mother's bracelet on the floor.

لا تروح... تعال شوفني وحدة أخيرة.

Don't go... come see me one last time.

عندي شي يثبت هذا، من زمان محتفظ فيه، بس ما كان عندي شجاعة أطلعه.

I have something that proves this, I've been keeping it for a long time, but I didn't have the courage to bring it out.

الْبِئْرُ الْحَقِيقِيَّةُ تَبْعُدُ عَنْهُ مَسَافَةً طَوِيلَةً.

The real well is a long distance away from it.

صَعِدَتِ السُّلَّمَ الْمُظْلِمَ حَتَّى الطَّابِقِ الثَّالِثِ، حَيْثُ رَأَتْ خَيْطًا مِنَ الضَّوْءِ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ تَحْتِ بَابِ إِحْدَى الْغُرَفِ.

She climbed the dark stairs up to the third floor, where she saw a thread of light coming out from under the door of one of the rooms.

فِي نَجْرَانَ، فِي قَلْبِ الْجَزِيرَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ، تُوجَدُ بِئْرٌ قَدِيمَةٌ يَقُولُ النَّاسُ عَنْهَا: مَنْ يَشْرَبْ مِنْهَا لَا يَعُودُ.

In Najran, in the heart of the Arabian Peninsula, there exists an ancient well people say about it: Whoever drinks from it does not return.

يا وسام، خليكن حذرين، شفت واحد فيهن عندو شي طويل بإيدو، يمكن بارودة صيد

Wissam, stay cautious, I saw one of them who has something long in his hand, maybe a hunting rifle

أَدْرَكَ كَرِيمٌ أَنَّ الْعَاصِفَةَ قَدْ وَصَلَتْ أَبْكَرَ مِمَّا تَوَقَّعَا، وَأَنَّ الْقَارِبَ فَوْقَهُمَا رُبَّمَا لَمْ يَعُدْ قَادِرًا عَلَى تَحْدِيدِ مَوْقِعِهِمَا بِسَبَبِ انْعِدَامِ الرُّؤْيَةِ.

Karim realized that the storm had arrived earlier than they expected, and that the boat above them might no longer be able to determine their location due to the lack of visibility.

شَعَرَ فَجْأَةً بِأَنَّ جُزْءًا مِنْ مُعَلِّمِهِ، وَجُزْءًا مِنْ بَغْدَادَ الْقَدِيمَةِ، مَا زَالَ حَيًّا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ.

Suddenly he felt that a part of his teacher, and a part of old Baghdad, was still alive in his hands.

أَدْخَلَتْ نُورَا الْمِفْتَاحَ فِي الْقُفْلِ، فَلَمْ يَدُرِ الْمِفْتَاحُ فِي الْقُفْلِ.

Noura put the key into the lock, but the key did not turn in the lock.

من أول يوم وقعت عندي فالورشة.

From the first day you started at my workshop.

وين آخر نقطة كانت فيها إشارة قوية؟

Where was the last point that had a strong signal?

بيعرفني منيح... هيك بينسى نفسو إنو بيقطع من غابة الكل

He knows me well... that's how he forgets himself that he is cutting from everyone's forest

تَقَدَّمَتْ لَيْلَى نَحْوَهُ وَقَالَتْ بِلُطْفٍ: "أَبُو عَدْنَان، أَعْرِفُ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ الَّذِي يَدْفَعُ فَاتُورَتِي.

Layla stepped toward him and said kindly: "Abu Adnan, I know that you are the one who pays my bill.

كُنْتُ أَسْتَطِيعُ رُؤْيَةَ النُّورِ مِنَ مَحَطَّةِ الْقِطَارِ الْبَعِيدَةِ، وَكَانَ يَأْخُذُنِي سَبْعُ دَقَائِقَ لِأَصِلَ إِلَى الْمَنْزِلِ بَعْدَهَا.»

I could see the light from the far train station, and it would take me seven minutes to arrive home after that.'

من شهرين، لما كنت قاعدة في اوضتي

Two months ago, when I was sitting in my room

يعني ممكن الاتصال يقطع في نص الطلب؟؟

Meaning it's possible the connection cuts out in the middle of the proposal??

فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ التَّالِي، تَتْبَعُ جَدَّهَا مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، خُطْوَةً بَعْدَ خُطْوَةٍ، بِقَلْبٍ يَنْبِضُ بِسُرْعَةٍ.

On the following Friday, she follows her grandfather from afar, step by step, with a heart beating fast.

أسمع صفير خفيف من ناحية الحيطة

I hear a light whistling from the wall side.

عِنْدَمَا رَأَتْ لَيْلَى أَنَّهُ اسْتَعَدَّ لِلْمُغَادَرَةِ، اقْتَرَبَ سَامِر بِسُرْعَةٍ وَهُوَ يُخْرِجُ نُقُودًا مِنْ جَيْبِهِ لِيَدْفَعَ فَاتُورَتَهَا مُسْبَقًا.

When Layla saw that he prepared to leave, Samir approached quickly while taking money out of his pocket to pay her bill in advance.

أنا. الفلافل عندك طيبة.

Me. Your falafel is good.

سَامِر يَقِفُ سَاكِنًا وَيَسْتَمِعُ.

Samer stands still and listens.

نتصل بالنجدة يوقفون عندها، أحسن من توقف انت لحالك بمكان بعيد وساعة الليل هذي.

We'll call emergency services so they can stop by her. That's better than you stopping alone somewhere remote at this time of night.

أَخَذَتْ لَيْلَى حَقِيبَةً سَوْدَاءَ مِنَ الْحِزَامِ الْمُتَحَرِّكِ وَخَرَجَتْ بِسُرْعَةٍ.

Layla took a black bag from the conveyor belt and left quickly.

يعني... اتصلت فيني مدربة أكاديمية النخبة قبل أسبوع. قالت لي إنهم يبغوا رزان تنتقل عندهم، وعرضوا عليّ إذا ساعدتهم أقنعها، بياخذوني معاها كلاعبة احتياط بمنحة. أنا... أنا خفت أقولكم لأني عرفت إنكم رح تزعلوا مني. ما كان قصدي أخون حدا، بس عيلتي وضعها صعب، والمنحة كانت فرصة كبيرة إلي أنا كمان.

So... the coach from the Elite Academy called me a week ago. She told me they want Razan to transfer to them, and they offered me if I help convince her, they'll take me with her as a reserve player on a scholarship. I... I was afraid to tell you because I knew you'd be upset with me. I didn't mean to betray anyone, but my family's situation is difficult, and the scholarship was a big opportunity for me too.

لأنك حكيتلي إن ركبتك بتوجعك وما بتقدر تنزل تشتري ميّ من المحل

Because you told me that your knee hurts you and you can't go down to buy water from the shop

أنا منيحة يا سامي، بس قلبي بده يوقف 😭

I am okay Sami, but my heart wants to stop 😭

رَبَطَ رَاشِدٌ الْحَبْلَ حَوْلَ خَصْرِهَا، وَأَنْزَلَهَا بِبُطْءٍ.

Rashed tied the rope around her waist and lowered her slowly.

القَلْبُ يَنْبُضُ بِسُرْعَةٍ كَبِيرَةٍ سَارَةُ تَرْكُضُ إِلَى البُرْجِ هُنَاكَ جَرَسٌ ضَخْمٌ قَدِيمٌ هِيَ تَشُدُّ الحَبْلَ بِقُوَّةٍ الجَرَسُ يَرِنُّ فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ صَوْتُهُ يَمْلَأُ المَدِينَةَ

The heart beats with great speed Sarah runs to the tower There is a bell huge [and] old She pulls the rope with strength The bell rings everywhere Its sound fills the city

طيب ليش قاعد بجنب الباب ويضع يده تحت الطاولة؟؟

Okay, why is he sitting by the door and putting his hand under the table??

مين حطها هنا؟؟

Who put it here??

قعدت مع العمال وشرحتلهم كل حاجة

I sat with the workers and explained everything to them
