1. وَدَّعوا خَشيَةِ الرَقيبِ بِإيما

    ءٍ فَوَدَّعتُ خَشيَةَ اللُوّامِ

    They bade farewell with a gesture, fearing the watcher;

    and I bade farewell, fearing the reproachers.

  2. لَم أَبُح بِالوَداعِ جَهراً وَلَكِن

    كانَ جَفني فَمي وَدَمعي كَلامي

    I did not voice my farewell aloud, but

    my eyelid was my mouth, and my tears were my speech.
