The Fire Within Lyrics
[Verse 1: Sami Yusuf]
I do not cease swimming
In the seas of love
Rising with the wave
Descending from love
Now the wave sustains me
Then I sink below
Love bears me away
To where there is no shore
[Chorus: Choir]
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

[Verse 2: Nabyla Maan]
رَقَّ مَعْنَى الْهَوَى
فِي النُّفُوسْ وَالْأَشْبَاحْ
وَظَهَرْ وَاحْتَـــوَىْ
فِي الصُّدُورْ وَالْأَرْوَاحْ
يَا خَلِيَّ الْجَوَىْ
لَوْ ذُقْتَ مِنْ ذِ الرَّاحِ
يَا لَهُ مِنْ مُدَامْ
مَنْ سَكِرْ بِهْ غَنَّى

O iter fortissimum, quod penetravit
Omnia in altissimi et in terrenis
Et in omnibus abyssis
Tu omnes componis et colligis

يَا كَثِيرَ الْمَلَامْ
لَا تَلُمْنَا
لَا تَلُمْنَا دَعْنَا
نَحْنُ أَهْلُ الْغَرَامُ، كُلُّ مَعْنَى مَعْنَا
نَحْنُ قَوْمٌ لَنَا
فِي الْمَعَانِي أَسْرَارْ
