1. He excelled in composing verses of passion
And confided in him a secret well-guarded
١. أجادَ يَراعُ الحُسْنِ خطّ عِذارِهِ
وأوْدَعَهُ السّرَّ المصونَ الذي يَدْري
2. Without need for seal or stamp
For his smile was stamp enough for the secret
٢. ولمْ يفْتَقرْ فيهِ لخَتْمٍ وطابَعٍ
فمَبْسِمُهُ أغْناهُ عنْ طابَعِ السّرِّ
