Revealing the longing I used to conceal.
Revealing my inner passion that I used to conceal
أَلَيسَis it not عَجيباًstrange أَنَّthat بَيتاًa house يَضُمُّنيholds me

وَإِيّاكَ لا نَخلو وَلا نَتَكَلَّمُ
Is it not strange that a house holds me
Is it not strange that a room contains us
And you, yet we are not alone together and do not speak?
Yet we are not alone and do not speak

Gestures of mouths and winks of eyebrows
And lowered eyes, and a glance that greets;
And piercing stares and a glance that greets

Our tongues are forbidden from what they desire
And our eyes answer for us and are understood.
And our eyes answer and understand for us
