مِنكِ الجَمالُ وَمِنّي الحُبُّ يا نَوَسا

مِنكِ الجَمالُ وَمِنّي الحُبُّ يا نَوَسا

فَعَلِّلي القَلبَ إِنَّ القَلبَ قَد يَئِسا

فَعَلِّلي القَلبَ إِنَّ القَلبَ قَد يَئِسا

From you comes beauty, and from me love, O Nosa.

From you is beauty, and from me is love, O Nawsa

So console the heart, for the heart has despaired.

So comfort my heart, for the heart has despaired

يا حَبَّذا نَسمَةُ مِن توحَة خَطَرَت

يا حَبَّذا نَسمَةُ مِن توحَة خَطَرَت

أَطالَتِ النَفسُ مِن أَسبابِها النَفَسا

أَطالَتِ النَفسُ مِن أَسبابِها النَفَسا

Oh, what a lovely breeze drifted by from Tuha!

How excellent is a breeze that blows from Tawha

The soul drew out its breath because of it.

My soul is weary of causes, and the soul despaired

أَضُمُّها ضَمَّ مُشتاقٍ بِهِ خَبَلٌ

أَضُمُّها ضَمَّ مُشتاقٍ بِهِ خَبَلٌ

قَد رامَ كَتمَ هَوى أَحبابِهِ فَنَسا

قَد رامَ كَتمَ هَوى أَحبابِهِ فَنَسا

I embrace it like a yearning lover afflicted with madness,

I hold her, the clasp of a lover confused by love

Who had sought to conceal his love for his loved ones, then forgot.

Who once resolved to conceal the love of his loved ones, but forgot

إِن تَسمَعي قَرعَ ناقوسٍ بِقَريَتِكُم

إِن تَسمَعي قَرعَ ناقوسٍ بِقَريَتِكُم

في مَطلَعِ الفَجرِ يَنعى اللَيلَ وَالغَلَسا

في مَطلَعِ الفَجرِ يَنعى اللَيلَ وَالغَلَسا

If you hear a bell tolling in your village,

If you hear a bell toll in your village

At daybreak, announcing the death of night and predawn gloom,

At dawn, mourning the night and darkness

فَإِنَّهُ قَلبيَ المَنكودِ يَذكُركُم

فَإِنَّهُ قَلبيَ المَنكودِ يَذكُركُم

فَهَل سَمِعتِ بِقَلبٍ قَد غَدا جَرَسا

فَهَل سَمِعتِ بِقَلبٍ قَد غَدا جَرَسا

Then it is my ill-fated heart remembering you.

It is my grieving heart remembering you

So have you heard of a heart that has become a bell?

Did you ever hear of a heart that became a bell?

وَإِن تَأَلَّقَ بَرقٌ في سَماوَتِكُم

وَإِن تَأَلَّقَ بَرقٌ في سَماوَتِكُم

فَإِنَّهُ مِن لَهيبِ القَلبِ قَد قَبَسا

فَإِنَّهُ مِن لَهيبِ القَلبِ قَد قَبَسا

And if lightning flashes in your skies,

And if lightning flashes in your skies

Then it has borrowed fire from the heart's blaze.

It is from the flames in my heart that caught fire

الروحُ إِن ظَمِئَت يَوماً فَحاجَتُها

الروحُ إِن ظَمِئَت يَوماً فَحاجَتُها

خَمرٌ سَماوِيَّةٌ فاحَت بِها قُدُسا

خَمرٌ سَماوِيَّةٌ فاحَت بِها قُدُسا

If the soul thirsts one day, then what it needs is

If the spirit ever thirsts, its need

A heavenly wine, through which it breathes forth holiness.

Is heavenly wine - sanctity exudes from it

وَأَنتِ يا توحُ روحانِيَّةٌ خُلِقَت

وَأَنتِ يا توحُ روحانِيَّةٌ خُلِقَت

لِكَي تُرينا عُلا الجَنّاتِ مُنعَكِسا

لِكَي تُرينا عُلا الجَنّاتِ مُنعَكِسا

And you, O Tuh, are a spiritual being, created

And you, O Tawha, are a spiritual being created

To show us the heights of Paradise's gardens reflected.

So you can show us the lofty gardens reflected

هذا جَمالُكِ يَدعوني لِأَعشَقَه

هذا جَمالُكِ يَدعوني لِأَعشَقَه

لكِنَّ ثَغرَكِ يا دُنيايَ ما نَبَسا

لكِنَّ ثَغرَكِ يا دُنيايَ ما نَبَسا

This beauty of yours calls me to adore it,

Your beauty calls me to love it

But your lips, O my world, have not uttered a word.

But your lips, O my world, have not smiled

اللَهُ يَشهَدُ أَنّي حينَ أَذكُركُم

اللَهُ يَشهَدُ أَنّي حينَ أَذكُركُم

أُديلُ دَمعاً عَلى الخَدَّينِ مُحتَبِسا

أُديلُ دَمعاً عَلى الخَدَّينِ مُحتَبِسا

God bears witness that, when I remember you,

God bears witness that when I remember you

I set pent-up tears flowing over both cheeks.

I shed tears down my cheeks, holding back

عَسى نَسيمُ الصِبا يَسري فَيُسعِفُ بي

عَسى نَسيمُ الصِبا يَسري فَيُسعِفُ بي

قَلباً يَموتُ حَزيناً في الغَرامِ عَسى

قَلباً يَموتُ حَزيناً في الغَرامِ عَسى

May the breeze of youth drift by and, through me, bring relief to

Maybe the morning breeze will blow and help

A heart dying sorrowfully in love—may it be so.

A heart that dies sadly in passion - maybe

فَإِن بَعَثتِ لَنا مِن توحَةٍ خَبَراً

فَإِن بَعَثتِ لَنا مِن توحَةٍ خَبَراً

فَكَم يُحِبُّكِ هذا القَلبُ يا نَوسا

فَكَم يُحِبُّكِ هذا القَلبُ يا نَوسا

So if you send us news from Tuha,

If you send us any news from Tawha

Then how dearly this heart loves you, O Nosa!

How much this heart loves you, O Nawsa
