أَنْتِ لِي حُبِّي الْحَقِيقِيحَلَّ فِي قَلْبِي الْعَشِيقِ
لَمْ يَعُدْ لِي فِي حَيَاتِيغَيْرُ “أَهْوَاكِ” رَفِيقِي
حُبُّكِ الصَّادِقُ أَغْنَانِي عَنِ الْخِلِّ الصَّدِيقِ
لَمْ أَكُنْ أَفْقَهُ مَعْنَى الْـحُبِّ فِي شَكْلٍ دَقِيقِ
قَدْ حَسِبْتُ الْحُبَّ مَا لَمْيَكُ حُبًّا فِي طَرِيقِي
فَأَفَقْتُ الْيَوْمَ عَنْ وَهْــمِي فَعِينِي وَأَفِيقِي
لَيْسَ لِي غَيْرُكِ حُبٌّأَنْتِ لِي حُبِّي الْحَقِيقِي

You Are My True Love

  1. You are, to me, my love that’s true,
    come to dwell in this heart that’s loving you.
  2. In my life no other friend remains
    to keep me company but “I love you.”
  3. Your love, so true, has left me free
    of need for any bosom friend.
  4. I had never understood
    the meaning of love, exactly, through and through.
  5. Once I took for love what never
    was love at all, along my way.
  6. Now today I’ve woken from
    my delusion: understand me1, and wake up too!
  7. I have no other love but you:
    you are, to me, my love that’s true.

Notes

  1. Fa-ʿīnī is the imperative of waʿā, ‘to take in, understand’, addressed to the beloved: ‘understand me, take in what I say’. The verse pairs the speaker’s awakening with a call for her to awaken with him. ↩
