[المقدمة – بصوت هادئ ومؤثر] · Intro - with a calm and touching voice

يا محمد…

Yā Muḥammad...

Oh Muhammad...

يا أجمل حاجة ربنا رزقني بيها

Yā ajmal ḥājah Rabbunā razaqanī bihā

Oh, the most beautiful thing God blessed me with

يا ضحكة جت في عز ما الدنيا كانت قاسية

Oh, a laugh that came when the world was so harsh

أنا قبل ما أشوفك كنت فاكر إني عايش

Before I saw you, I thought I was living

بس يوم ما جيت… عرفت يعني إيه حياة.

But the day you came... I knew what life meant.

[المقطع الأول] · Verse 1

أنا مش معايا من الدنيا كتير

I don't have much of this world

بس إنت عندي بالدنيا وما فيها

But you, to me, are worth the world and everything in it

لو خيروني بين عمري وبين عمرك

If they gave me a choice between my life and yours

هتلاقيني عمري كله فداك أقدّمها

You'd find me offering my whole life as a sacrifice for you

إنت مش مجرد طفل بيناديني بابا

Inta mish mujarrad ṭifl yunādīnī Bābā

You're not just a child calling me 'Baba'

إنت الحلم اللي ربنا حققهولي

Inta al-ḥulm illī Rabbunā ḥaqqaqhulī

You are the dream that God made come true for me

إنت الأمان اللي بس لما أشوفك

Inta al-amān illī bas lammā ashūfak

You are the security that, just by seeing you,

كل التعب اللي جوايا بيروح منّي

All the weariness inside me disappears

سبع سنين وإنت بتنور أيامي

Seven years you've been lighting up my days

وكل يوم بحبك أكتر من زمان

Wa kull yawm baḥibbak akthar min zamān

And every day I love you more than before

ضحكتك عندي بالدنيا وما فيها

Your laugh is worth the world and everything in it to me

وصوتك أحلى موسيقى في المكان

Wa ṣawtak aḥlā mūsīqā fī al-makān

And your voice is the sweetest music in this place

[اللازمة – لحن قوي ومؤثر] · Chorus - strong and touching melody

يا محمد… يا أغلى من عيوني

Oh Muhammad... Oh, more precious than my eyes

يا حتة من قلبي وروحي وكوني

Yā ḥittah min qalbī wa rūḥī wa kawnī

Oh, a piece of my heart, my soul, and my universe

لو يوم الدنيا قست عليك

If one day the world is harsh to you

هتلاقيني قبلك واقف وأحميك

Ha-talaqīnī qablak wāqif wa aḥmīk

You'll find me standing before you, protecting you

يا محمد… يا نور السنين

Yā Muḥammad... Yā nūr al-sinīn

Oh Muhammad... Oh, light of the years

يا أجمل رزق من رب العالمين

Oh, the most beautiful blessing from the Lord of the Worlds

أنا يمكن ما أملكش كنوز الدنيا

Anā yumkin mā amlaksh kunūz al-dunyā

I may not own the treasures of the world

بس إنت كنزي… وإنت كل اللي ليا

Bas inta kanzī... wa inta kull illī līyā

But you are my treasure... and you are all I have

[المقطع الثاني – راب بإحساس أبوي] · Verse 2 - Rap with a fatherly feeling

بص يا ابني، الحياة مش دايمًا سهلة

Buṣṣ yā ibnī, al-ḥayāh mish dāyman sahlah

Look, my son, life isn't always easy

وفيها ناس تضحك وناس مش أصيلة

Wa fīhā nās taḍḥak wa nās mish aṣīlah

And it has people who laugh and people who are not genuine

خليك راجل، بس خليك طيب

Khallīk rāgil, bas khallīk ṭayyib

Be a man, but be kind

قلبك أبيض، وعقلك دايمًا صاحي

Your heart white, and your mind always awake

ما تبيعش نفسك علشان أي مصلحة

Don't sell yourself for any gain

ولا تكسر خاطر حد بإيدك

Wa lā taksir khāṭir ḥadd bi-īdak

And don't break anyone's heart with your hand

خليك كبير بأخلاقك ومواقفك

Khallīk kabīr bi-akhlaqak wa mawāqifak

Be great with your morals and your stances

مش بالفلوس ولا بكلام الناس حواليك

Mish bi-l-fulūs wa lā bi-kalām al-nās ḥawālayk

Not with money or with people's talk around you

لو وقعت، قوم، ما تستناش حد

If you fall, get up, don't wait for anyone

ولو اتظلمت، خليك أقوى من الظلم

Wa law iẓẓalamt, khallīk aqwā min al-ẓulm

And if you are wronged, be stronger than the injustice

خلي ضميرك صاحبك في كل خطوة

Khallī ḍamīrak ṣāḥibak fī kull khaṭwah

Let your conscience be your companion in every step

والحق دايمًا خليه عنوانك

And let truth always be your address

مش عايزك نسخة مني يا ابني

I don't want you to be a copy of me, my son

عايزك أحسن مني بمليون مرة

I want you to be a million times better than me

عايز أشوفك تحقق اللي حلمت بيه

I want to see you achieve what I dreamed of

وتوصل لمكان أنا ما قدرتش أوصله

Wa tūṣal li-makān anā mā qadirtish awṣaluh

And reach a place I couldn't reach

[جسر موسيقي – صوت هادئ] · Musical bridge - calm voice

ويمكن ييجي يوم وتكبر وتبعد

And maybe one day you'll grow up and move away

وتبقى ليك دنيا وبيت وأحلام

Wa tibqā līk dunyā wa bayt wa aḥlām

And have your own world, home, and dreams

بس مهما تعدي سنين يا حبيبي

But no matter how many years pass, my darling

هتفضل عندي نفس الطفل اللي كان…

You'll remain to me the same child who was...

بيجري عليّا ويقولي يا بابا

Running to me and saying 'Baba'

ويمسك إيدي ويضحك من قلبه

Wa yumsik īdī wa yaḍḥak min qalbuh

And holding my hand and laughing from his heart

وأنا أبص للسما وأقول يا رب

And I'd look at the sky and say, 'Oh Lord'

احفظلي ضنايا… ده أغلى ما عندي.

Protect my offspring... he is the most precious thing I have.

[اللازمة الأخيرة – تصاعد موسيقي قوي] · Final Chorus - strong musical crescendo

يا محمد… يا أغلى من عيوني

Oh Muhammad... Oh, more precious than my eyes

يا حتة من قلبي وروحي وكوني

Yā ḥittah min qalbī wa rūḥī wa kawnī

Oh, a piece of my heart, my soul, and my universe

لو الزمن خدني بعيد عنك

If time takes me far from you

خلي كلامي دايمًا يعيش جواك

Let my words always live inside you

أنا أبوك… ودي مش مجرد كلمة

Anā abūk... wa dī mish mujarrad kalimah

I am your father... and this is not just a word

دي ضهرك لو الدنيا يوم هدت

Dī ḍahrak law al-dunyā yawm haddat

This is your support if the world ever crumbles

ولو كل الناس في يوم باعتك

And if all people one day betray you

أبوك عمره ما يبيعك ولا يسيبك

Your father will never sell you out or abandon you

[الخاتمة – بيانو وصوت أب متهدج] · Outro - piano and a father's choked voice

يا محمد…

Yā Muḥammad...

Oh Muhammad...

أنا مش عارف هعيش لحد إمتى

I don't know how long I will live

بس عارف إنك هتعيش جوايا العمر كله

But I know that you will live inside me my whole life

ولو سألوك في يوم أبوك كان بيحبك قد إيه؟

And if they ask you one day, 'How much did your father love you?'

قول لهم…

Qūl lahum...

Tell them...

كان شايف الدنيا كلها…

Kān shāyif al-dunyā kulluhā...

He saw the whole world...

وكان شايفك إنت أغلى منها.

Wa kān shāyifak inta aghlā minhā.

And he saw you as more precious than it.

Lines explained

“بس إنت عندي بالدنيا وما فيها”

But you, to me, are worth the world and everything in it

This line uses a common Arabic idiom, 'worth the world and everything in it,' to express the immense value the son holds for the father, far beyond any material wealth.

“يا حتة من قلبي وروحي وكوني”

Yā ḥittah min qalbī wa rūḥī wa kawnī

Oh, a piece of my heart, my soul, and my universe

The phrase 'a piece of my heart, my soul, and my universe' is a deeply affectionate and poetic way to describe the son as an integral and essential part of the father's very being.

“قلبك أبيض، وعقلك دايمًا صاحي”

Your heart white, and your mind always awake

The advice 'Your heart white, and your mind always awake' encourages the son to maintain purity of intention and kindness (white heart) while remaining intelligent and aware (awake mind) in life.
