قَد كُنتُ أَكتُمُ ما تُجِنُّ جَوانِحي

حَذَرَ الوُشاةِ عَليكِ وَالرُقَباءِ

I concealed what my innermost being did to me

Fearing the slanderers' talk about you and the spies

حَتّى أَعارَتني المُدامَةُ نَشوَةً

فَوَشَت بِحُبِّكِ نَشوَةُ الصَهباءِ

Until intoxication lent me an intoxication

And the intoxication of the blond wine told of my love for you
