1. قَد باحَ بسرِّه لِسانُ الشَمعِ

    واِستَرسَل في الخُدودِ فَيضُ الدَمعِ

    The candle's tongue has divulged its secret,

    And a flood of tears has streamed down the cheeks.

  2. إِن ذُبتُ فمن سَواد وَجهي خَجَلاً

    إِذ قَرَّ بحُرقَتي عُيونُ الجَمعِ

    If I melt, it is from shame at the blackness of my face,

    For the eyes of the gathering took delight in my burning.
