GHAX HRABT?

by Mirka Mifsud Bonnici

Intqal li kelli nahrab minnek
Imhabba tant ghaziza
Tant sbejha
Izda "mhix pura".

Hi x'inhi l-imhabba pura
Imhabba kienet u hekk baqghet
Tbeghidt minn xewqti
Li Ghadha hemm sa llum

Inti hrabt u jiena wkoll
Izda qalbi qatt
Qatt m'hi se tieqaf thobbok
U qalbi mhix pura.
Min qal x'inhi l-imhabba pura
Forsi Alla ta' darba
Jew dak li jaghder u jhobb
Jew dawk ir-rghiba!

Issa b'qalbi maqsuma
U b'ghajnejn mifqugha nistaqsi
Ghaliex kelli nahrab,
Ghaliex?

...ghalija, ghalik,
Jew forsi ghalihom?
forsi ghalihom
Iva, hekk hu!
Ghaliex "mhix pura" u sewda
Ghaliex irrid ninheba
U ohrajn mieghi
X'dinja ipokrita!

Naf li Alla issa jhobbni
Warrabt ghemili ghalih
Izda mhabbti midinba
Imhabbti "mhix pura".

Ghalxejn nixher issa li hrabt
Issa li ghandi mhabba "pura"
li nghix kif trid int
... mohbija.
