You perplexed my heart with you,
And I mute and hide (my feelings)
Tell me what I do with you,
Or what I do with my heart 2
I want to complain of the fire of my love,
I want to tell you about what in my heart, 2
And tell you about what kept me a wake,
And tell you about what made me cry,
And to describe the exhausting of my spirit,
but my self-respect is preventing me (to say this).2
Oh tough, look in my eyes, and see what was written in it. 2
The look of longing is compassion,2
and this is a tear, I'm hiding it (to not let you see it)
And this is your imagination (ghost) in my eyelids, which remained all the night
with me
It (his ghost) kept me a wake between thinking and grief, while it left his shadow
inside my eye.
And between my longing, my deprivation, and my confusion with my
concealment,
I want to complain of the fire of my love,
I want to tell you about what in my heart,
And tell you about what kept me a wake,
And tell you about what made me cry,
And to describe the exhausting of my spirit,
but my self-respect is preventing me (to say this).
Many nights ,me and my imagination(thinking/ my heart) I still make my spirit
patient ( tell I see you) by a word you told me one day .2
And I pass the night thinking about that happened to you, and that happened to
me.2
And stay saying: didn't he see the confusion on my face when he didn't say
salaam (when he ignored me)?!!
Or didn't he see the longing is about to speak in my eyes?!! 2

3. Then I return to forgive you again, and yearn to you (because I miss you), then I
find my self... 2
I want to complain of the fire of my love,
I want to tell you about what in my heart,
And tell you about what kept me a wake,
And tell you about what made me cry,
And to describe the exhausting of my spirit,
but my self-respect is preventing me (to say this).
