كَتَمْتُ الْهَوَى خَوْفَ إِفْشَائِهِ

فَأَلْهَبَ نَارَ الْغَضَى فِي ضُلُوعِي

I concealed my love fearing its disclosure

So it ignited the fire of anguish in my ribs

فَلَمَّا خَشِيتُ عَلَى مُهْجَتِي

أَذَعْتُ الْهَوَى بِلِسَانِ الدُّمُوعِ

When I feared for my innermost being

I proclaimed my love with the tongue of tears
