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.
عرفت الهوى Ùu0085Ø° عرفت هواك
وأغلقت قلبي على Ùu0085ن عداك
(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
عرفت الهوى Ùu0085Ø° عرفت هواك
وأغلقت قلبي على Ùu0085ن عداك
(I only knew love when I knew love of Thee,
I sealed up my heart against Thy enemy.)
Ø£Øu00adبك Øu00adبين، Øu00adب الهوى
و Øu00adب لأنك أهل لذاك
(My love is twin loves, yet the twain are for Thee,
The first's for Thy love, and the other's for Thee.)
فأÙu0085ا الذي هو Øu00adب الهوى
فشغلي بذكرك عن Ùu0085ن سواك
(And as for the first, which is love of Thy love:
Remembrance complete, not distracted from Thee.)
و Ø£Ùu0085ا الذي أنت أهل له
فلست أرى الكون Øu00adتى أراك
(And as for the second: my true love of Thee,
I see Thou as present in all that I see.)
فلا الØu00adÙu0085د في ذا ولا ذاك لي
و لكن لك الØu00adÙu0085د في ذا و ذاك
(All praise to Thy name, and no praises for me,
For Thine is the glory in all unity.)
