رأَيتُ الهوى والخمر سيين غدرةً

وليسا على قلبي الحزين بسيين

I saw desire and wine as two deceitful friends,

Yet they aren't as deceitful to my sorrowful heart.

إذا أتوارى يطلبانِ فضيحتي

فتظهر في وجهي ويظهرُ في عيني

When they hide away, they seek to expose my shame,

Which shows on my face and appears in my eyes.
