[المطلع] · Intro
يا سائلاً عن سرّها
O you who ask about her secret
والليلُ يطوي أمرَها
While the night conceals her matter
هيَ زهرةٌ أندلسيّةٌ
She is an Andalusian flower
والحسنُ يسكنُ عطرَها
And beauty resides in her fragrance
[الدور الأول] · Verse 1
تمشي وفي عينيها ضوءُ المدى
She walks, and in her eyes is the light of the horizon
والصمتُ في شفتيها أبلغُ من صدى
And the silence on her lips is more eloquent than an echo
إن أقبلتْ غنّى الزمانُ لخطوها
If she approaches, time sings for her footsteps
وإذا ابتعدتْ تركتْ حنيناً واشتياقاً
And if she departs, she leaves behind longing and yearning
[اللازمة] · Chorus
يا ليلُ، يا ليلُ، هل تدري؟
Yā laylu, yā laylu, hal tadrī?
O night, O night, do you know?
ما سرُّ هذا الحسنِ في صدري؟
Mā sirru hādhā al-ḥusni fī ṣadrī?
What is the secret of this beauty in my chest?
يا ليلُ، رفقاً بالهوى
Yā laylu, rifqan bi-al-hawā
O night, be gentle with love
فالقلبُ أضناهُ السُّرى
For the heart is exhausted by the journey
[الدور الثاني] · Verse 2
في روحها بحرٌ من الأسرارِ
In her soul is a sea of secrets
وفي حديثها عطرُ الأزهارِ
And in her speech is the fragrance of flowers
لا هيَ تُفشي ما تخبّئهُ
She neither reveals what she hides
ولا الزمانُ يبوحُ بالأخبارِ
Nor does time disclose the news
[اللازمة] · Chorus
يا ليلُ، يا ليلُ، هل تدري؟
Yā laylu, yā laylu, hal tadrī?
O night, O night, do you know?
ما سرُّ هذا الحسنِ في صدري؟
Mā sirru hādhā al-ḥusni fī ṣadrī?
What is the secret of this beauty in my chest?
يا ليلُ، رفقاً بالهوى
Yā laylu, rifqan bi-al-hawā
O night, be gentle with love
فالقلبُ أضناهُ السُّرى
For the heart is exhausted by the journey
[الخرجة] · Outro
يا سائلاً، دعْ سرَّها
O asker, leave her secret
فالنجمُ لا يُحصى ضياها
Fa-an-najmu lā yuḥṣā ḍiyāhā
For the star's light cannot be counted
هيَ حكايةُ روحٍ
Hiya ḥikāyatu rūḥin
She is a story of a soul
والليلُ يعرفُ مداها
And the night knows her extent
Lines explained
“هيَ زهرةٌ أندلسيّةٌ”
She is an Andalusian flower
Comparing the woman to an 'Andalusian flower' evokes a sense of historical beauty, grace, and perhaps a touch of exoticism, referring to the golden age of Islamic Spain known for its poetry, art, and gardens.
“والصمتُ في شفتيها أبلغُ من صدى”
And the silence on her lips is more eloquent than an echo
This line uses a poetic paradox, suggesting that her silence is more profound and expressive than any spoken word or echo, emphasizing her mysterious and captivating nature.
“فالقلبُ أضناهُ السُّرى”
For the heart is exhausted by the journey
The 'journey' (as-surā) here refers to the emotional toil and sleepless nights caused by love and longing, implying that the heart is worn out by this intense experience.
