أجادَ يَراعُ الحُسْنِ خطّ عِذارِهِ

وأوْدَعَهُ السّرَّ المصونَ الذي يَدْري

He excelled in composing verses of passion

And confided in him a secret well-guarded

ولمْ يفْتَقرْ فيهِ لخَتْمٍ وطابَعٍ

فمَبْسِمُهُ أغْناهُ عنْ طابَعِ السّرِّ

Without need for seal or stamp

For his smile was stamp enough for the secret
