You had said that you were learning Arabic for me, 

Because you never studied it before. 

I said that your father was strict with you in learning French to advance politically, 

And you chose English afterwards. 

I, who wrote in Arabic all my life and imposed languages on myself thereafter, 

You said that you would not leave me alone, that you would try to understand me. 

You came excitedly, saying, "I read an entire Arabic newspaper today ". 

You managed to create a new map in your mind for me.


But today, after I discovered that you live with your lover, 

I wonder if you were reading those books in her arms. 

And when she asked you about the reason for your interest in this new language, What did you answer? 

Did you create another map for her as well? 

What chaos you live in the midst of all these maps, 

O Liar.
