To the pure soul of my dear friend, Ahmed Hbicha. This is for you.
إلى روحك الزكية صديقي الصدوق أحمد هبيشة

"Maghroum" is a piece of my heart. It’s a poem from my collection, "'Anbar Lklam" (Amber of Words), that I set to music to try to capture the feeling of being completely captivated by love—both the beautiful and the painful parts.

I was so fortunate to have the wonderful voice of Nadia Al Maghribia to help me tell this story. The beautiful arrangement was crafted by my late friend, Ahmed, to whom this track is dedicated.

I hope it resonates with you.
- Aissa

**LYRICS:**

مْغْرُومْ .. وْحْبِيبِي حَادَڭْ فَاللُّومْ
سَرْحَانْ .. وْقْلِيبِي عَايَشْ حِرْمَانْ
(Captivated... and my love is skilled in blame)
(Lost in thought... and my poor heart lives in deprivation)

مْنْدِيلْ .. وْدْمُوعِي تَهْطَلْ بَاللِّيلْ
مْشْتَاقْ .. وْ عْيُوبْ الْعَشْرَة لْفْرَاقْ
(A handkerchief... my tears pour down at night)
(Yearning... and the flaw in our bond is this separation)

مْكْتَابْ .. يْسْحَرْنِي كِي دُقْ الْبَابْ
مَصَّابْ .. يْرْحَمْنِي مَا صَبْتْ جْوَابْ
(It’s destiny... he puts a spell on me when he knocks on the door)
(If only... he’d have mercy; I have found no answer)

عَيْنِيهْ .. وْ الْبَسْمَة زَادُونِي تِيهْ
نْبْغِيهْ.. يَا يَمَّا وْ نْخَافْ عْلِيهْ
(His eyes... and his smile just get me more lost)
(I love him... oh mother, and I’m afraid for him)

مْلِّيتْ .. مَا هْجَرْنِي مَا قَالْ بْغِيتْ
مْشْغُولْ.. بْالْخَاوِي فِينْ الْمَعْقُولْ
(I’m tired... he won’t leave me, but he won’t say "I want you")
(Busy... with nothing. Where is the sense in that?)

النَّاسْ .. تْحْسَدْنَا وْ حْنَايَا خْلَاصْ
عَايْشِينْ .. وْ الْعِيشَة مُرَّة يَا عِينْ
(People... they envy us, but we are already over)
(We are living... but oh, what a bitter life this is)
