1. Await my visit when night's darkness falls,
For I have found the night most secret-keeping.
١. ترقّب إذا جنّ الظلام زيارتي
فإنّي رأيت الليل أكتم للسرِّ
2. In me is what, were it exposed to the sun, would shame it;
Were it disclosed to the moon, it would not rise;
٢. وَبي منك ما لو كانَ بالشمسِ لم تلح
وبالبدر لم يطلع وَبالنجم لم يسرِ
