عَوِّدْ فُؤَادَكَ أَنْ يَكُونَ مَجَنَّةً

لِلسِّرِّ فَهْوَ لَدَى الْمَحَافِلِ حَمْدُهُ

Accustom your heart to be a vault

For secrets, for its glory among gatherings is praise.

السِّرُّ عَبْدُكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتَ حِفَاظَهُ

فَإِذَا أَفَضْتَ بِهِ فَإِنَّكَ عَبْدُهُ

The secret is your servant as long as you can guard it;

But when you divulge it, you become its slave.
