أَعْمَلُ دَلِيلًا عِنْدَ شَلَّالَاتِ أُوزُودَ مُنْذُ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً.
I have worked as a guide at Ouzoud Falls for twenty years.
جَاءَتْ مُصَوِّرَةُ طَبِيعَةٍ تُرِيدُ صُوَرًا فَرِيدَةً.
A nature photographer came wanting unique shots.
"أَبْحَثُ عَنِ الزَّوَايَا السِّرِّيَّةِ."
"I'm looking for secret angles."

كَانَتْ فِي الخَمْسِينَ، نَشِيطَةً، عَاشِقَةً لِلطَّبِيعَةِ.
She was in her fifties, active, a nature lover.
"أَعْرِفُ أَمَاكِنَ لَمْ يَرَهَا أَحَدٌ."
"I know places no one has seen."
"خُذْنِي إِلَيْهَا."
"Take me to them."

نَزَلْنَا إِلَى قَاعِدَةِ الشَّلَّالِ.
We descended to the waterfall base.
المَاءُ يَتَسَاقَطُ كَالحَرِيرِ الأَبْيَضِ.
Water falling like white silk.
"هَذَا سَاحِرٌ!"
"This is magical!"
الفصل الرابع | Chapter Four
"لَكِنَّ الأَجْمَلَ فِي المَسَاءِ."
"But the most beautiful is in the evening."
"لِمَاذَا؟"
"Why?"
"لِأَنَّ الشَّمْسَ تَرْسُمُ قَوْسَ قُزَحٍ فِي الرَّذَاذِ."
"Because the sun paints a rainbow in the mist."
الفصل الخامس | Chapter Five
عِنْدَ الغُرُوبِ، صَوَّرَتْ أَجْمَلَ صُوَرِهَا.
At sunset, she took her most beautiful photos.
"هَذِهِ سَتَكُونُ غِلَافَ مَجَلَّتِي."
"This will be my magazine cover."
"وَأَنْتِ غِلَافُ قَلْبِي."
"And you are the cover of my heart."
الفصل السادس | Chapter Six
نَظَرَتْ إِلَيَّ. "أَنْتَ شَاعِرٌ أَيْضًا؟"
She looked at me. "You're also a poet?"
"الشَّلَّالُ يُعَلِّمُنَا الرُّومَانْسِيَّةَ."
"The waterfall teaches us romance."
"عَلِّمْنِي..."
"Teach me..."
الفصل السابع | Chapter Seven
تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ، فِي كُوخٍ بِجَانِبِ الشَّلَّالِ.
That night, in a hut beside the waterfall.
عَلَى صَوْتِ المَاءِ المُتَسَاقِطِ.
To the sound of falling water.
"جَسَدُكِ يَتَدَفَّقُ كَالشَّلَّالِ."
"Your body flows like the waterfall."
الفصل الثامن | Chapter Eight
نَشَرَتْ صُوَرَهَا فِي مَجَلَّاتٍ عَالَمِيَّةٍ.
She published her photos in international magazines.
وَتَعُودُ كُلَّ رَبِيعٍ.
And she returns every spring.
"لِلشَّلَّالِ... وَلَكَ."
"For the waterfall... and for you."
الخاتمة | Conclusion
الشَّلَّالُ لَا يَتَوَقَّفُ.
The waterfall never stops.
وَحُبُّنَا لَا يَتَوَقَّفُ.
And our love never stops.
يَتَدَفَّقُ كَالمَاءِ... إِلَى الأَبَدِ.
It flows like water... forever.
