مِن دَهشَةِ مَن أُحِبُّ مَهما أَلقى

مِن دَهشَةِ مَن أُحِبُّ مَهما أَلقى

في نَفسيَ حاجاتُ فؤادي تَبقى

في نَفسيَ حاجاتُ فؤادي تَبقى

Whenever I meet the one I love, I am so awestruck

In astonishment at whom I love no matter how

That my heart's desires remain within my soul.

In my soul my heart's desires remain

في قَلبيَ أَن أَبُثَّ ما بي لَكِن

في قَلبيَ أَن أَبُثَّ ما بي لَكِن

لَم نَلتَقِ إِلّا وَسُلِبتُ النُطقا

لَم نَلتَقِ إِلّا وَسُلِبتُ النُطقا

In my heart I wish to reveal what is within me, but

In my heart to express what's in me but

We never met without my being robbed of speech.

We did not meet except I was rendered speechless
