1. قَد تَخَلَّلتَ مَسلَكَ الروحِ مِنّي

    وَلِذا سُمِّيَ الخَليلُ خَليلا

    Indeed, you have permeated the soul’s pathway within me.

    And that is why a close friend is called an intimate.

  2. فَإِذا ما نَطَقتُ كُنتَ حَديثي

    وإِذا ما سَكَتُّ كُنتَ الغَليلا

    So whenever I speak, you are my subject.

    And whenever I fall silent, you are my burning longing.
