Silently and secretly I fell in love with you
(I shy away from the world and keep safe my love (for you
Silently and secretly I fell in love with you
People, for the sake of love, will even sift through sand
But you don't appear before me for a single moment, not wanting me to live
Even so, becoming crazed, I wait for you expectantly
Silently and secretly I fell in love with you
I sacrificed the honor of my parents for you
But you remain unaware and do not value me
I know this, that you would find many more like me
Silently and secretly I fell in love with you
Silently and secretly
Like a dove's call, with every breath, my heart echoes God's name
With every breath, remembers the Lord and says the kalma of the Prophet

But there was no one who enquired about her
