رَأَيتُ في عَينَيكِ سِحرَ الهَوى

رَأَيتُ في عَينَيكِ سِحرَ الهَوى

مُندَفِقاً كَالنورِ مِن نَجمَتَين

مُندَفِقاً كَالنورِ مِن نَجمَتَين

I saw in your eyes the magic of love,

In your eyes I saw love's magic

I saw within your eyes the magic of passion, pouring forth like light from twin stars,

Streaming like light from two stars.

Pouring like light from two stars

And I became powerless to repel it—for who can turn back a storm with two hands?

فَبِتُّ لا أَقوى عَلى دَفعِهِ

فَبِتُّ لا أَقوى عَلى دَفعِهِ

مَن رَدَّ عَنهُ عارِضاً بِاليَدَين

مَن رَدَّ عَنهُ عارِضاً بِاليَدَين

So I was left unable to repel it—

So I stand helpless to resist it

O paradise of love and world of desires, I never imagined I would find you within two eyes.

Who has ever warded a cloud off himself with both hands?

Who can fend it off with both hands?

يا جَنَّةَ الحُبِّ وَدُنيا المُنى

يا جَنَّةَ الحُبِّ وَدُنيا المُنى

ما خِلتُني أَلقاكِ في مُقلَتَين

ما خِلتُني أَلقاكِ في مُقلَتَين

O paradise of love and world of wishes,

O paradise of love, world of wishes

I never thought I would find you in two eyes.

Since I met you life's been bliss
