Oh Leema, my night moon
In your eyes is humanity and what is beyond
A sun that burns, the day of judgment
My heart ignites, with a love not of this world

inti al-yasamin fi khadari, inti al-amal
fi lailati atawadhdhar, wa shauqi la yuhal

Leema, my first love, my all of beauty
You are the jasmine in my garden, you are hope
In my nights I wander, and my longing cannot be resolved
[Verse 2]
kama al-ghazal jamalik, yajri bi khuyuli

Like a gazelle, your beauty runs with my horses
And in your speech is healing, for all in my mind
Nights of longing return, with memories of the first time
And the passion for you sings, in my captive heart
