From the song

Uhibbok أحبك by SNX

The title means "I love you." It reuses the spoken English-Arabic exchange heard in "Aasheqan": a woman says she is so happy and feels lucky, it feels like a dream, "I love you" repeated again and again; a voice answers that he will not give her a choice, that all he has is hers, and that lying in bed with his eyes closed he thinks of how they will be later. A repeated word for "story" runs through the middle like a chant, and there is a line saying they have found each other and have all they need. The ending asks the beloved once more whether she wants to come with him.

Deeper meaning

A reprise of Aasheqan in a different arrangement. The repeated "I love you" is meant as a hook, not an argument, and the song is closer to a mood than a narrative.
