أَما عَلِمَت عَيناكَ إِنّي أُحِبُّها

كَما كُلُّ مَعشوقٍ عَليمٌ بِعاشِقِ

Do not my eyes make evident that I love her

As every lover knows well his passionate one?

أَلَم تَرَ عَيني وَهيَ تَسرُقُ نَظرَةً

إِلَيها عَلى خَوفٍ بِعَبرَةِ وامِقِ

Have you not seen my eyes stealing a glance

At her in fearful hope and flowing tears?

أَراني سَأُبدي حُبَّهُ مُتَعَرِّضاً

وَإِن لَم أَكُن في الحُبِّ مِنهُ بِواثِقِ

Do I seem about to reveal my love to her

Though in love I am of her no confident?
