Sami Yusuf - O Lovers: Music from the Unseen World

I Only Knew Love

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

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

عرفت الهوى مذ عرفت هواك
عرفت الهوى مذ عرفت هواك
وأغلقت قلبي على من عداك
وأغلقت قلبي على من عداك

And as for the second: my true love of Thee
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
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

عرفت الهوى مذ عرفت هواك
عرفت الهوى مذ عرفت هواك
وأغلقت قلبي على من عداك
وأغلقت قلبي على من عداك

أحبك حبين؛ حب الهوى
أحبك حبين؛ حب الهوى
وحباََ لأنك أهل لذاك
وحباََ لأنك أهل لذاك

فأما الذي هو حب الهوى
فأما الذي هو حب الهوى
فشغلي بذكرك عمن سواك
فشغلي بذكرك عمن سواك

وأما الذي أنت، أنت أهل له
وأما الذي انت اهل له
فلست أرى الكون حتى أراك

عرفت الهوى مذ عرفت هواك
عرفت الهوى مذ عرفت هواك
وأغلقت قلبي على من عداك

فلا الحمد في ذا ولا، ولا ذاك لي
فلا الحمد في ذا ولا ذاك لي
ولكن لك الحمد في ذا وذاك
ولكن لك الحمد في، في ذا وذاك
