Both of us display hatred before people,
We both feign before people hatred
Yet each is held dear by the other.
While to each his friend is devoted

The eyes convey to us what we desired,
Our eyes conveyed what we intended
And in both hearts there is a buried love.
Yet in both hearts love lies hidden

And the secrets of glances are not concealed,
The secrets of glances cannot be concealed
And suspicions may incite others against one at fault.
Suspicions mislead the erroneous

When eyes reveal what is within
