You are always like this: Busy with the children, whilst neglecting the young girls

My Daughter, My daughter, Her status is held in my soul. If there were for me a fitnah in my life, then it is her.

And when I return after the routine of work, and enter the house, I see my daughter, my beloved. She already opened her arms. Father came, o my happiness!
A7milo binti 3aaliyan biathro3i kal-najmati. Asalohaa man jaa2kom, taqoolo jaa2at jijaty wa jaa2a jadi, Raahsidon wa khaalaty wa 3amaty mahlan. Ay yaa sageeraty, hal ja2a kol al-osraty.
I carry my daughter high in my arms, as if she was a star. I ask her, “who came to visit yous,”
“she says my grandma came, and my grandfather Raashid came, and my (maternal) aunty and my(maternal) uncle.” (I say to her) “Slowly, o my small one, did the whole family come to visit you?”

بنيتي بنيتي مقامها في مهجتي
إن كان لي من فتنة في العمر فهي فتنتي
يا فتنة خلابة منحتها محبتي
فكلها براءة تقرمنها مقلتي
وخطوة سحرية تنساب مثل النسمة
وحينما تبسم لي تأسرني بالبسمة
كأنما الدنيا تما أصبحت في قبضتي
ابدأ يومي دائمًا بقبلة من طفلتي
لأنني أعود طفــلاً بعد تلك القبلة
وحينما أعود من دوامة الوظيفة
وادخل البيت ارى بنيتي حبيبتي
قد فتحت أذرعها بابا أتى يا فرحتي
أحمل بنتي عاليا بأذرعي كالنجمة
أسألها من جاءكم ؟ تقول جاءت جدتي
وجاء جدي راشد وخالتي وعمتي
مهلاً أيا صغيرتي هل جاء كل الأسرة ؟!
وحينما أغفو تما مًا بعد أكل الكبسة
تجيئني مسرعة توقظني من غفوتي
بابا كــسـرت لعبتي بابا كــسرت لعبتي
وتارة تقول لي بابا نكــسـت جزمتي
لكنني أنهرها هيا اخرجي من حجرتي
يا لك من مؤذية ثرثارة هيا اصمتي !
تقول لي يا أبتي نغفو معًا في الغرفة
وعندها أحملها على كفوف الرحمة
إذا بها تنظرني بابا نسيت قصتي
وعندما أبدأ في حكايتي للحلوة
حكاية الذئب الذي أراد أكل النعجة
تنام في حجري فأثــنيها تجاه القبلة
ثم أعود بعدها مستغرقا في نومتي
