لَقَد خِفتُ حَتَّى كُلُّ نَجوى سَمِعتُها

أَرى أَنَّني مِن ذِكرِها بِسَبيلِ

I have been so fearful that in every whispered word I hear

It seems to me, I'm on the brink of giving her away

وَحَتَّى لَوَيتُ السِرَّ عَن كُلِّ صاحِبٍ

وَأَخفَيتُهُ مِن دونِ كُلِّ خَليلِ

Even if I were to hide my secret from every friend

And conceal it from all who are dear
