Lyrics and translation Tamer Abu Ghazaleh - 7ob

7ob

و أفردت قلبا في هواكي يعذبُ
اقطع حبل الوصل فالموت دونه
ام اشرب كأسا منكم ليس يشربُ
ام اهرب حتى لا أرى لي مجاوراً
ام افعل ماذا، ام ابوح فأُغلبُ
اقطع حبل الوصل فالموت دونه
ام اشرب كأسا منكم ليس يشربُ
ام اهرب حتى لا أرى لي مجاوراً
ام افعل ماذا، ام ابوح فأُغلب
يقولون ليلى عذبتك بحبها
الا حبذا، الا حبذا، الا كالحبيب المعذب
متى يشتفي منك الفؤاد المعذب
و سهم المنايا من وصالك أقرب
متى يشتفي منك الفؤاد المعذب
و سهم المنايا من وصالك أقرب
فبعد و وجد و اشتياق و لوعة
فلا انت تدنيني و لا انت اقرب
كعصفورة في كف طفل
يشدها تزود حياض الموت
و الطفل يلعب
فلا الطفل ذو عقل يرق لما بها
و لا الطير ذو ريش يطير فيذهب
و لي الف وجه فد عرفت طريق
و لكن بلا قلب الا اين اذهب
فلو كان لي قلبان لعشت بواحد
و افردت قلبا في هواكي يعذبُ

Love

And I have dedicated a heart to you in your love that tortures;
I shall cut the rope of union for death is before it;
Or rather drink a cup from you which others do not drink;
Or rather I shall flee so that I may not have near me neighbors;
Or rather what shall I do, or confess and then be defeated?
I shall cut the rope of union for death is before it;
Or rather drink a cup from you which others do not drink;
Or rather I shall flee so that I may not have near me neighbors;
Or rather what shall I do, or confess and then be defeated?
They say Layla has tortured you by her love;
Oh, how excellent! Oh, how excellent! Oh, like the tortured lover;
When will the tortured heart feel relief from you;
And the arrow of deaths more likely from your union;
When will the tortured heart feel relief from you;
And the arrow of deaths more likely from your union;
And then distance and finding and longing and sorrow;
For neither do you bring me near, nor are you more near;
Like a bird in the palm of a child;
He squeezes it to go to the waters of death;
And the child plays;
For the child has no sense to feel pity for it;
And the bird has no wings to fly and escape;
And I have a thousand faces, and I have known a way;
But without a heart where shall I go?
Were there two hearts, I would have lived with one;
And I have dedicated a heart to you in your love that tortures;
