هَـــــاَتِي فُؤادِيْ lyrics

لاَ تُشْعِرِينِيْ بِالأمَــاَن

Do not make me feel safe,

لاَ تَغْمُرِيْنِيْ بِالْحَنَـــاَنْ

Lā taghmurīnī bil-ḥanān

Do not overwhelm me with tenderness.

لاَ تَرْسُمِي الأحْلَاَمَ يَا عُمْرِيْ

Do not paint dreams, my life,

عَلَىَ جُدْرَانِ عُمْرِي .

On the walls of my life.

لاَ تَخْذُلِيْنِي بِالسَفَرْ .

Lā takhdhulīnī bil-safar.

Do not disappoint me with travel.

لاَ تَزْرَعِيْ لَيِلِيْ نُجُوْمَاً

Do not plant stars in my night,

بَعْدَمَـــا أفَلَ القَمَرْ .

After the moon has set.

أَوَ مَاَ سَهِرتِ الَّيْلَ

Awa mā sahartī al-layla

Did you not stay up all night,

وَ ذِّكْرَى تُقَرِّبُنِيْ إلَيْكِ .

Wa dhikrā tuqarribunī ilayki.

While a memory draws me closer to you?

فَتُثِيْرُ فِيْكِ عَوَاصِفِ الأشْوَاقْ

So it stirs in you storms of longing,

أشْوَاقاً يُتَرْجِمُهَا الدُمُوْعُ بِمُقْلَتَيْكِ .

Longings that tears translate in your eyes.

وَ إذَا غَفَوْتِ اسْتَيْقَظَتْ بِمَنَامِكِ الأحْلَاَمْ

Wa idhā ghafawtī istayqaẓat bimanāmiki al-aḥlām

And if you doze off, dreams awaken in your sleep,

وَ بْتَدَأ العَذَابْ

And the torment begins,

وَكَأنَّكِ الطِّفْلُ الَّذِيْ

As if you are the child

تَجْتَاَحُ أحْلاَمَ البَرَاءةَ نَوْمَهُ مِنْ كُلِّ بَابْ

Whose innocent dreams are invaded in sleep from every side,

حِيْنَهَا لَمْ يَسْتَقِرْ .

Ḥīnahā lam yastaqirr.

Then he finds no rest.

هَـــــاَتِي فُؤادِيْ .

Give me my heart.

وَاهْجُرِيْنِي

Wahjurīnī

And abandon me,

وَاصِلِيْنِي .

Waṣilīnī.

And connect with me.

كَيْفَمَاااا شِئتِ

However you wish,

وَ لَكِنْ لاَ تَقُوْلِيْ

Wa lakin lā taqūlī

But do not say

أَنَّ أسْبَابَ الْغِيَابُ هُمُ الْعَوَاذِلْ .

That the reasons for absence are the fault-finders.

قَدْ عِشْتُ حُبُّكِ يَا مُعَذِّبَتِي .

I have lived your love, my tormentor,

كَأنِّي فَارِسٌ بِالْحُبِّ

As if I am a knight in love,

مَا هَابَ نَّوَازِلْ .

Mā hāba nawāzil.

Who did not fear calamities.

مَا لِنْتُ لِلْعُذّال .

I did not yield to the blamers.

لَاااكِنْ كُنْتُ يَا عُمْرِي أخَاَفُ عَلَيْكِ مِنْهُمْ

But I was, my life, afraid for you from them,

حِيْنَ يَسْتَرِقُوْ خَبَرْ .

Ḥīna yastariqū khabar.

When they would steal news.

هَــــاتِي فُؤادِيْ

Give me my heart,

وَ اعْلَمِي .

And know,

أنِّيْ وَ حَتَّى فِيْ مَنَامِيْ

Annī wa ḥattā fī manāmī

That even in my sleep,

بَيْنَ أحْلاَمِـيْ

Bayna aḥlāmī

Among my dreams,

أرَاكِ عَلَى حَذَرْ .

I see you cautiously.
