لِحُبِّكَfor love of you مِنfrom قَلبيmy heart حِمىًa protected sanctuary لاnot يَحُلُّهُenters it
لِحُبِّكَ مِن قَلبي حِمىً لا يَحُلُّهُ
سِواكَother than you وَعَقدٌand a knot لَيسَthere is no خَلقٌcreature يَحُلُّهُunties it
سِواكَ وَعَقدٌ لَيسَ خَلقٌ يَحُلُّهُ
For love of you, my heart holds a sanctuary none enters
For your love in my heart there's a fever only you can break
But you, and a knot no creature can untie.
An unbreakable bond no being can sever or forsake
وَقَدand indeed كُنتَyou had أَطلَقتَyou set free المُنىthe hopes ليfor me بِمَوعِدٍwith a promise
وَقَد كُنتَ أَطلَقتَ المُنى لي بِمَوعِدٍ
وَقَدَّرتَand you fixed ليfor me وَقتاًa time وَهَذاand this مَحَلُّهُits appointed moment
وَقَدَّرتَ لي وَقتاً وَهَذا مَحَلُّهُ
And you had set my hopes free with a promise,
You promised me yourself and set a time and place
And fixed a time for me—and that time is now.
Yet under what law or creed can you justify taking my life
فَفيthen under أَيَّwhat حُكمٍruling أَوor عَلىaccording to أَيَّwhat مَذهَبٍdoctrine
فَفي أَيَّ حُكمٍ أَو عَلى أَيَّ مَذهَبٍ
تُحِلُّyou deem lawful دَميmy blood وَاللَهُwhile God لَيسَdoes not يَحُلُّهُpermits it
تُحِلُّ دَمي وَاللَهُ لَيسَ يَحُلُّهُ
Under what ruling, then, or according to what doctrine
When not even God has the right to take what He gave?
Do you permit my blood to be shed, while God does not permit it?
