lyrics

ما زِلتُ أطْفو في بِحارِ الهَوى

يَرْفَعُني المَوْجُ وَأنْحَطُّ

فَتارَةً يَرْفَعُني مَوْجُها

وتارَةً أهْوي وَأنْغَطُّ

حتّى إذا صَيَّرَني في

الهَوى إِلى مَكانٍ ما لَهُ شَطُّ

نادَيْتُ يا مَنْ لَمْ أَبُحْ باسْمِهِ

وَلَمْ أخُنْهُ في الهَوى قَطُّ

I never stop floating in the sea of love
Up and down the waves are lifting me

Sometimes her waves lift me up
and sometimes I fall and drown

Then finally He is leading me to Love
to a place where there is no shore

I call Him whose name I do not tell
And who in love isn’t betrayed by me

Words: Mansur Al Hallaj
