"it means: o you who are reading my book, cry over my youth, yesturday you were alive, and now you are in the ground"

Thanks, it looks closer :sunny: but... كتابي is My book, likewise ترابي could b my ground or I am in the ground..

How abt something like this..

"O you who are reading my book, I am crying over my youth, until yesterday I was alive, and now I am in the ground..."

umm i think they both work but it would depend on the Tashkiil (harakat)
example: ابكي could be Abky or Ibky. Abky would mean i cry while Ibky means cry (a command)

كنت could be Kunta or Kuntu. Kunta would mean you were while Kuntu would be i was

In Arabic you can change the whole word by changing the Tashkil or Harakah *Fatha, damma, Kasra, Sukuun and so on*
example: حر Hur would be *free* while Har would be *hot* (just an example my teacher use to use lol)

No actually ابكي is I CRY because if it was a command it should've been ابك without the Ya2 "ي" . the ya2 is called : 7arf 3ella.
