يَا مُنَى الْقَلْبِ وَنُورَ العَـ

يَا مُنَى الْقَلْبِ وَنُورَ العَـ

ـيْنِ مُذْ كُنْتُ وَكُنْتِ

ـيْنِ مُذْ كُنْتُ وَكُنْتِ

O heart's desire and light of the

O solace of my heart, light of my eyes

eye, ever since I was and you were,

Since you and I have been

لَمْ أَشَأْ أَنْ يَعْلَمَ النَّا

لَمْ أَشَأْ أَنْ يَعْلَمَ النَّا

سُ بِمَا صُنْتُ وَصُنْتِ

سُ بِمَا صُنْتُ وَصُنْتِ

I did not wish people to know

I never wished for people to know

what I guarded and you guarded.

What I have kept safe, and you have kept safe

وَلِمَا حَاذَرْتُ مِنْ فِطْـ

وَلِمَا حَاذَرْتُ مِنْ فِطْـ

ـنَتِهِمْ فِينَا فَطِنْتِ

ـنَتِهِمْ فِينَا فَطِنْتِ

And what I feared from their discernment

And why I was wary of their prying

of us, you discerned.

Into you and I, you were perceptive

إِنَّ لَيْلاَيَ وَهِنْدِي

إِنَّ لَيْلاَيَ وَهِنْدِي

وَسُعَادِي مَنْ ظَنَنْتِ

وَسُعَادِي مَنْ ظَنَنْتِ

Indeed, my Layla and my Hind

My nights and days of bliss

and my Su'ad are who you thought they were.

Are with whoever you thought I was

تَكْثُرُ الأَسْمَاءُ لَـ

تَكْثُرُ الأَسْمَاءُ لَـ

ـكِنَّ المُسَمَّى هُوَ أَنْتِ

ـكِنَّ المُسَمَّى هُوَ أَنْتِ

The names multiply, but

Names may be many

the one named is you.

But she who is named is you alone
