رحمك الله سيدي و نور عيوني

ما قد حصل الحمدلله و فارقت أحد أحبه
إلى أن أختارك الله لترجع له

وبكدا أكون فقدتك و أنت يا عمري
من أغلى الناس على قلبي
سيدو .. رحت بسرعة
أخر وعد بيننا
أنو نتقابل في رمضان

أرجع أشوف مين أنا في رمضان ؟

تتذكر يا سيدو أيامنا في رمضان سوا؟

كنت تجي تاخدني من البيت
فبل المغرب بساعة
و تاخدني أنا و خالو صهيب و أولاد خاله لمياء
و نروح الكورنيش
و نركب حصان و دباب و جمل
و أنت تقول للرجال .. اللفة بخمسة ريال

سيدو.. مين ياخدنا الكورنيش؟

تتذكر فيل المغرب لما كنا نروح نشوف المدفع ؟

و نسمع الصوت العالي و نحط يدنا على أدننا عشان ما تعورنا أدننا
و لما نوصل البيت تيتة تستقبلنا عند الباب و تعطيك تمرة و زمزم مبخر

سيدو كرهت صوت المدافع من بعدك

طيب طول عمري أعرف أنو رمضان يعني أنت .. دحين رمضان يعني مين من غيرك ؟

سيدو أحبك ،، أحبك مره كتير

عصايتك ، عمامتك ، فوطتك و توبك

نضارتك و كنبتك و اللبن و التفاحه

كبكك. محفظتك القلم و الساعة

سبتهم و سبتنا و رحت عند ربك

الله يسعدك و يونسك و يرحمك و يرفعك

وحشتني و حتوحشنا ليوم ما نجيك في الفردوس

سيدي الله لا يحرمني منك
دنيا و آخرة
الله يرحمك
