1. My tears pledge to conceal their secret
And flow whenever memory flows, and an oath
١. يُعَاهِدُنِي دَمْعِي عَلَى كَتْمِ سِرّهِ
وَيَجْرِي إِذَا ذِكْرٌ جَرَى وَيَمِينُ
2. That is only because my wounds have dyed them
The wounded palm tree has no oath
٢. وَمَا ذَاكَ إِلاَّ مِنْ نَجِيعِي خَضَبْتُهُ
وَلَيْسَ لِمَخْضُوبِ الْبَنَانِ يَمِينُ
