I only knew love when I knew love of Thee,
I sealed up my heart against Thy enemy.
I stood long in converse with Thee, who doth see
My heart's inner secrets, but Thou I don't see.
My love is twin loves, yet the twain are for Thee,
The first's for Thy love, and the other's for Thee.
And as for the first, which is love of Thy love:
Remembrance complete, not distracted from Thee,
Remembrance complete, not distracted from Thee.
âAraftul-hawÄ mudh âaraftu hawÄk
Wa-'aghlaqtu qalbÄ« âalÄ man âÄdÄk
(I only knew love when I knew love of Thee,
I sealed up my heart against Thy enemy.)
And as for the second: my true love of Thee,
I see Thou as present in all that I see.
All praise to Thy name, and no praises for me,
For Thine is the glory in all unity,
For Thine is the glory in all unity.
âAraftul-hawÄ mudh âaraftu hawÄk
Wa-'aghlaqtu qalbÄ« âalÄ man âÄdÄk
(I only knew love when I knew love of Thee,
I sealed up my heart against Thy enemy.)
