رَأَيْتُهُ وَرَآنِي

رَأَيْتُهُ وَرَآنِي

فَأُوْلِعَ القَلْبَانِ

فَأُوْلِعَ القَلْبَانِ

I saw him, and he saw me.

So both hearts were smitten.

كَأَنَّ سِحْرٌ عَرَاهُ

كَأَنَّ سِحْرٌ عَرَاهُ

كَأَنَّ سِحْراً عَرَانِي

كَأَنَّ سِحْراً عَرَانِي

As though a spell had come over him,

As though a spell had come over me.

أَجَابَ لَحْظِي لَمَّا

أَجَابَ لَحْظِي لَمَّا

بِاللَّحْظِ مِنْهُ دعَانِي

بِاللَّحْظِ مِنْهُ دعَانِي

My glance answered when

He called me with a glance of his.

وَكَادَ يَكْبُو فُؤَادِي

وَكَادَ يَكْبُو فُؤَادِي

مِنْ شِدَّةِ الخَفَقَانِ

مِنْ شِدَّةِ الخَفَقَانِ

And my heart nearly stumbled

From the intensity of its throbbing.

وَذُقْتُ مَا لَمْ أَذُقْهُ

وَذُقْتُ مَا لَمْ أَذُقْهُ

مِنْ لَذَّةِ النِّيرَانِ

مِنْ لَذَّةِ النِّيرَانِ

And I tasted what I had never tasted before

Of the delight of flames.
