1. Peace be upon the house we dare not visit
Save by glances furtive and features veiled,
١. سَلامٌ عَلَى البَيْتِ الذي لاَ نَزُورُه
مِنَ الخَوْفِ إِلاَّ بالعُيونِ اللَّوَامِحِ
2. Did fear of censors not forbid, desire
Had led me to its threshold, hot and wild.
٢. وَلَوْلاَ حِذَارُ الكَاشِحينَ لَقَادَنِي
إليْهِ الهَوَى قَوْدَ الجَنِيبِ المُسامِحِ
