When I first met you

I felt something different

I wanted to get closer to you

But I was afraid you would distance yourself

The longer this feeling is buried

The more I want to get closer to you

From a distance, I see you

I hope you feel the same

Your faith and devotion that melt

This feeling becomes love

The beloved that I hope for

May this love become real

Ana uhibbuka fillah

I love you for the sake of Allah

If he is the best for me

Bring our hearts closer, O Allah

The longer this feeling is buried

The more I want to get closer to you

From a distance, I see you

I hope you feel the same

Your faith and devotion that melt

This feeling becomes love

The beloved that I hope for

May this love become real

Ana uhibbuka fillah

I love you for the sake of Allah

If he is the best for me

Bring our hearts closer, O Allah
