بأبِي الزائر سِرّاً

خافِياَ عن كل حِسّ

By my oft-visiting beloved

Secretly, hidden from all senses

رشأٌ يجزع من لح

ظِي وتقبِيلي ولمسِي

A lightning bolt, startled by my

Gazing, kissing, touching

زارني ليلاً ليخفِي

شخصه عن كل إِنس

He came by night to hide

His person from all mankind

فدَرى الواشِي وهل يُخ

فى الدُجَى مطلعَ شمسِ

So the spies saw nothing - for who can

Hide the sunrise in darkness?

مالنا واشٍ سِوى حس

نِك يا حِبِّي وأُنْسي

We have no spies but your feelings,

My love, my intimacy
