lyrics

عـرفت الهـوى مذ عرفت هـواك واغـلـقـت قلـبـي عـمّـن سـواك
وقمت أناجيـــك يـــا من تــرى خـفـايـا الـقـلـوب ولسـنـا نـراك
أحبـّــك حـبـيــن حـب الهـــــوى وحــبــــا لأنـّــك أهـــل لـــذاك
فــأمّا الــذي هــو حب الهــــوى فشـغلـي بـذكـرك عـمّـن سـواك
و إمّـــا الـــذي أنــت أهــل لــــه فكـشـفـك للـحـجـب حـتـى أراك
فـلا الحـمد فـي ذا ولا ذالك لـــي ولـكـن لك الـحـمـد فـي ذا وذاك

I have known love ever since I have lived Thy love and I closed my heart for any other than Thou.
I implored Thee, oh Almighty,
Who knows the secrets of the heart,
and Who keeps hidden.
I love Thee twofold, a Love above all,
and a Love that merits love.
I should not invoke any other than Thee.
May the veil be taken away so that I can contemplate Thee.
My love is of no merit,
but hail to Thee for all Love.

J’ai connu l’Amour depuis que j’ai connu
Ton amour,
et j’ai fermé mon cœur à tout autre que Toi.
Et je T’ai imploré, oh Toi, l’Omniscient,
qui connait les secrets des cœurs,
mais nous, ne Te voyons pas.
Je T’aime de deux amours,
l’amour de l’Amour
et l’amour de ce que Tu es digne d’être aimé.
Pour le premier amour,
mon soucis est de T’invoquer
et nul autre que Toi.
Pour le second, ôte-moi le voile
afin que je Te contemple.
Je n’ai pas de mérite à cela,
cela ne me revient pas,
Mais louange à Toi pour ces deux amours.
