Shāyad in deleh shekaste dar rā ru donyā basteh.

Maybe this broken heart has closed its doors to the world.

[muhtesemz]

Jab main dooba tou samandar ko bhi hairat thi bahut

Ajeeb shakhs hai, Kisi ko pukarta hi nahi

When I drowned, even sea was very surprised and thought,

What a strange man he is!

Not calling anyone for help.

أنا لا أبكي كل ما في الأمر إن غبار الحنين قد دخلت عيني

I'm not crying, it's just that the dust of nostalgia has entered my eyes.

اللهم اختر لي طريقاً يسعدني طريقاً لا يشقي قلبي ولا يؤذي عيني طريقاً ترضاه لي ثم ترضيني به يارب.

Oh Allah, choose for me a path that makes me happy, a path that isn't heavy on my heart, nor does it hurt my eye, a path that pleases You and that will make me satisfied, Lord.

[nizariat]

I distanced myself but became closer by the day

ابتعدت عنك فكنت كل يوم أقرب

I go back in memory

أعود بذاكرتي إلى الوراء

To the first day I met you

إلى أول يوم التقيتك به

I knew that day that you were one of those women that don't come twice in a lifetime

عرفت يومها أنك من النساء اللواتي لا يأتين في العمر مرتين

But I held my heart from you

ولكني أمسكت قلبي عنك

I was reciting Coran on it every morning to free it from your spell, but find you each day closer

كنت كل صباح أقرأ عليه المعوذات لأخلصه من سحرك فأجدك كل يوم أقرب

And when I decided to run away from you, I found myself running to you and saying : I love you

وعندما قررت أن أهرب منك وجدتني أهرب إليك وأقول لك : أحبك
