| عـرفت الهـوى مذ عرفت هـواك واغـلـقـت قلـبـي عـمـن سـواك |
I’ve known love since I’ve known your love
I’ve closed my heart to all but you
| وقمت اناجيـــك يـــا من تــرى خـفـايـا الـقـلـوب ولسـنـا نـراك |
I began to whisper with you who sees
the secrets of hearts while we don’t see you
| احبـــك حـبـيــن حـب الهـــــوى وحــبــــا لانـــك اهـــل لـــذاك |
I love you with two loves, one of passion,
and one because it is your due
| فــاما الــذي هــو حب الهــــوى فشـغلـي بـذكـرك عـمـن سـواك |
And as for the love of passion
it busies me with remembring you away from all that is not you
| وامـــا الـــذي انــت اهــل لــــه فكـشـفـك للـحـجـب حـتـى اراك |
And as for that which is your due
it’s your lifting the veils until I see you
| فـلا الحـمد فـي ذا ولا ذاك لـــي ولـكـن لك الـحـمـد فـي ذا وذاك |
I’m not to praise for this or that
But praise is yours for this and that
| أحبــك حـبـيـن.. حــب الهـــوى وحــبــــا لأنــــك أهـــل لـــذاك |
I love you with two loves, a love of passion
and a love because it is your due
I like the part of these words” I began to whisper with you who sees
the secrets of hearts while we don’t see you”
