كَيفَhow يَخفىbe hidden عَنfrom حَبيبيmy beloved
كَيفَ يَخفى عَن حَبيبي
كُلُّall ماthat which تَمَّhas happened عَلَيهِto it
كُلُّ ما تَمَّ عَلَيهِ
How can it be hidden from my beloved—
How can anything that happens
all that has befallen my heart—
Be hidden from my beloved
وَهُوَand he فيin قَلبيmy heart مُقيمٌdwelling
وَهُوَ في قَلبي مُقيمٌ
أَقرَبُclosest الناسِthe people إِلَيهِto it
أَقرَبُ الناسِ إِلَيهِ
when he dwells in my heart,
When he dwells within my heart
the closest of all people to it?
And is closest to me of all people
