والحمد لله قد فطنا

والحمد لله قد فطنا

لولا حذار العدى لقلنا

لولا حذار العدى لقلنا

And praise be to God—we have understood.

Were it not for fear of enemies, we would have said:

لو كان من زار عاشقيه

لو كان من زار عاشقيه

اثر في وجهه افتضحنا

اثر في وجهه افتضحنا

If one who visited his lovers

Bore a mark on his face, we would be exposed.
