From the song
Hada Alhob هذا الحب by SNX
An Egyptian-Arabic love song with a playful, stubborn edge. The refrain says "this is love", with a gesture at you, him and that, which seems to mean "all of it, this is how it looks". She says she is in his love and that is her madness, and that he is her life. She always sees him, even when he cannot see her, and even when she hates him she sees him as the most beautiful person. She says she loves him even while she is angry with him. She knows how he sees her, as a liar, and how he keeps writing her down that way. Still she says it again: this is love.
Deeper meaning
The song is about love that contains its own opposite. Seeing someone as beautiful while being furious at them is the central picture, and the line about being seen as a liar adds a little hurt. The refrain makes the argument for her: if it were not love, it would not be this difficult to get away from.
