Saudi Poetry I LOVE YOU MOM

I LOVE YOU MOM

Now I lay me down to sleep
I dream of a love so very deep
And if I die before you do
I shall go to heaven
And wait for you

I shall give the angels back their wings
For one more chance to hear you sing
For one more chance to hear your voice
I love you mom and thats my choice

I will give up every single thing
To be back in your arms
To feel your heart beat

I love you mom
With all of my heart
Never forget it...
Your son from the start

Traditional Saudi Jewellery

Jewelry has been an essential part of Arabian dress for thousands of years. More than just personal decoration, jewelry symbolized social and economic status.

Traditional jewelry was mostly made of silver, although gold was also used. Jewelers used stones such as turquoise, garnets and amber from the Kingdom’s rich mines, and pearls and coral from the coastal areas.

Tiny bells, coins and chains were also used for decoration. Designs primarily evolved from Islamic calligraphy and motifs, and featured intricate patterns of geometric shapes, leaves, crescents and flowers.

Today, Saudi women still receive gifts of jewelry from their husbands when they marry or have children. Unlike their ancestors, who received large amounts of bracelets, rings, earrings and necklaces as part of their dowry.

Modern Saudi women wear jewelry in traditional and contemporary designs with diamonds and a variety of precious metals. Solid gold bracelets remain a traditional gift for girls.

Saudi Abaya

Women customarily wear a black outer cloak (abaya) over their dress, which may well be modern in style. On their heads, Saudi women traditionally wear a shayla – a black, gauzy scarf that is wrapped around the head and secured with circlets, hats or jewelry. Traditional dress is often richly decorated with coins, sequins or brightly colored fabric appliqués.

Some Saudi women wear veils made of sheer material. The practice of wearing a veil is an ancient one that dates back at least two millennia, before the advent of Islam. In a harsh desert environment, a thin veil provides protection from constant exposure to the sun, which can damage the skin and eyes. Today, a veil is also a sign of modesty and virtue.

Traditional Saudi Dresses of Women

In the old days, Women used to wear these traditional dresses, but now, not all women wear this kind of costumes everyday. Today's girls usually wear the western clothes and wear the traditional dresses in some traditional occasions like Ghomra( the night before the wedding night), or in Ramadan occasions when they visit each other and have Iftar (breaking the fast) together. Here are the some Picture of Saudi Women Dresses.

Saudi Poetry If You Forget Me

I want you to know
one thing.
You know how this is:
if I look
at the crystal moon, at the red branch
of the slow autumn at my window,
if I touch
near the fire
the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled body of the log,
everything carries me to you,
as if everything that exists,
aromas, light, metals,
were little boats
that sail
toward those isles of yours that wait for me.
Well, now,
if little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you little by little.
If suddenly
you forget me
do not look for me,
for I shall already have forgotten you.
If you think it long and mad,
the wind of banners
that passes through my life,
and you decide
to leave me at the shore
of the heart where I have roots,
remember
that on that day,
at that hour,
I shall lift my arms
and my roots will set off
to seek another land.
But
if each day,
each hour,
you feel that you are destined for me
with implacable sweetness,
if each day a flower
climbs up to your lips to seek me,
ah my love, ah my own,
in me all that fire is repeated,
in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
my love feeds on your love, beloved,
and as long as you live it will be in your arms
without leaving mine

یوں تو کہنے کو بہت لوگ شناسا میرے

یوں تو کہنے کو بہت لوگ شناسا میرے

کہاں لے جاؤں تجھے اے دلِ تنہا میرے

وہی محدود سا حلقہ ہے شناسائی کا

یہی احباب مرے ہیں، یہی اعدا میرے

میں تہِ کاسہ و لب تشنہ رہوں گا کب تک

تیرے ہوتے ہوئے ، اے صاحبِ دریا میرے

مجھ کو اس ابرِ بہاری سے ہے کب کی نسبت

پر مقدر میں وہی پیاس کے صحرا میرے

دیدہ و دل تو ترے ساتھ ہیں اے جانِ فراز

اپنے ہمراہ مگر خواب نہ لے جا میرے
