Below is one of my favorite songs by a Saudi artist by the name of Mohammed Abdu (the lyrics are by Faiiq AbdulJalil). In order to appreciate the poem you need to understand the environment in which it is written. Physical expression of love outside of marriage is prohibited Islamically and thus you find a lot of poems that speak of love in Platonic ways. This particular poet describes how, unbeknownst to him, his love was among the attendees at a function he happened to be attending as well. What ensues is a silent conversation between the two and how such a fortunate coincidence made him feel.
