1. By my life, they made assumptions and became certain
Through some gestures that indicate passion.

2. They said, "Investigate the origin of his love;
Every orbit revolves around a pole."

3. Ask him, and pay attention to a word of his speech,
So the confidante of love may be known from his intimate talk.

4. Some people saw me pretending love
More intensely than pretending war.

5. I made my friends like my companions out of fear,
So neither my friends nor companions discovered my secret.

6. The secret rests assured with me as if
A stranger said in his homeland, "That's enough for me."

7. Oh, amongst the herd is there one,
Did they know that gazelle from the flock?

8. I was killed, by God, but do not remember my killer
To take vengeance on him before my Lord.

9. If they say to me, "Say, whom did you love and what is his name?
What is the cause of your complaint and what is the reason for grief?"

10. I gave them a people instead of a people, and they believed.
But my tongue's utterance was not the meaning of my heart.

11. How could spies hope to uncover the secret of a concealer
Who only hinted toward the dust?
