Happy Saturday from Yallaa Spring Series:
Arab Expressions in Bloom 🌸🌹🌼
صَبَاح الْوَرْد وَالْفُلّ وَالْيَاسَمِين
Sabāḥ al-ward wal-ful wal-yāsamīn
"A morning of roses, jasmine, and gardenia."
🥀🌺🏵️💐✨
...
This fragrant greeting is used across the Arab world to wish someone a beautiful, peaceful start to their day.
Each flower carries deep meaning:
الورد – love ❤️
الفلّ – purity 🤍
الياسمين – calm and grace 🌿
It’s more than a “good morning” — it’s a bouquet of Arab beauty in words.
Which flower would you start your day with? 🌼✨
