بَيني وَبَينَكَ في المَوَدّةِ نِسبَةٌ

بَيني وَبَينَكَ في المَوَدّةِ نِسبَةٌ

مَكتومَة عَن سرّ هَذا العالَمِ

مَكتومَة عَن سرّ هَذا العالَمِ

Between you and me there is a bond of affection,

Between you and I there is a hidden kinship

concealed from the secret of this world.

Concealed from all in this world

نَحنُ اللّذان تعارَفَت أَرواحُنا

نَحنُ اللّذان تعارَفَت أَرواحُنا

مِن قَبلِ خَلق اللَّه طينَةَ آدمِ

مِن قَبلِ خَلق اللَّه طينَةَ آدمِ

We are the two whose souls came to know one another

We are the two whose souls recognized each other

before God created Adam's clay.

Before God created Adam's clay
