نضت نقابين قد كانا لنا شركا

عن حسن وجه ونفس خلتها نورا

I lifted the veils of two companions we once shared

One of a beautiful face and soul filled with light

فغاب من حسنها ما كان منتقبا

وبان من فسقها ما كان مستوار

So the beauty that had been veiled was gone

And the evil that had been hidden came into view
