1. We had climbed the heights of passion hand in hand
But when we reached the top, my steps faltered and yours held firm
١. وَكُنّا اِرتَقَينا في صُعودٍ مِنَ الهَوى
فَلَمّا تَوافَينا ثَبَتُّ وَزَلَّتِ
2. We had tied the knot of love between us
But when it drew tight, it strangled me and set you free
٢. وَكُنّا عَقَدنا عُقدَةَ الوَصلِ بَينَنا
فَلَمّا تَواثَقنا شَدَدتُ وَحَلَّتِ
