Manal…
O heartbeat of my heart when the world grows tired,
O light of my days when the evening grows long.
On your birthday,
the years bloom,
and time smiles
in respect of your little steps.
You grew before my eyes
like a beautiful dream
that chose to become real.
And every time you call my name,
I feel that life
grants me a new age.
O Manal,
you are my poem not yet written,
my wish fulfilled without asking.
Every year,
you are my everlasting joy,
and my prayer that never ends.
Happy Birthday, my princess.
