Arabic song lyrics search

Hi guys,
I am looking for the Arabic-language lyrics to Mihtara Bein Ithnein" محتارة بين اثنين from Sonia Mbarek's amazing "Takht" album. It's Kurd on A and so beautiful...I understand most of the lyrics but there are some colloquialisms in there that I want to make sure I am getting right in Arabic when I sing it. I can't seem to find the lyrics written in Arabic anywhere, anyone have any ideas?

I know that one, it's very beautiful. Can't help with the lyrics unfortunately. If you get them, please share them here. Thanks brother!

Hey John (and everyone)...I got the lyrics and they are just as beautiful as I understood them to be. Here they are:
محتارة بين اثنين
مش عارفة نمشي فين
صوت الهوى يناديني
صور لي دنيا كبيرة
والخوف معاه يرميني
بين العذاب والحيرة
محتارة بين اثنين
لو يوم من الأيام
صوت الهوى ناداك
لو شفت في الأحلام
احلى حبيب معاك
يا قلب نمشي وراه
نمشي على الأشواك
صوت الهوى
Repeats from here...

One part remaining during the modulation but I know that part...such a great composition.
