Miles Between Us

(Aah-ya-layl) Midnight here, the world is still

Watching hours bend

against my will

Taal al-ghiyab wa qalbi ma'ak

Thousands of miles,

but I still feel your grace

Bainana bahr wa layl taweel

Yet every quiet breath draws me near

I count the days until the distance breaks

Mushtaqa

layk, across the boundless sky

No sea too deep,

no ocean too wide

I carry your voice

wherever I roam

Habibi, hold on,

I am coming home

(coming home to you)

Shamsuka tushriq wa ana anam

Different skies, one fragile dream

I trace your picture through the glass

Praying this winter will be our last

Al-hawa ya khudhni

ilayk

Every heartbeat repeats your name

I close my eyes and feel you here

Mushtaqa

layk, across the boundless sky

No sea too deep,

no ocean too wide

I carry your voice

wherever I roam

Habibi, hold on,

I am coming home (Ah habibi,

coming home)

Al-bu'du sa'b,

wal-hob baqi

Till the distance fades away

(Aah-ya-layl) I am coming home.
