مُنيِّرٌMunayyir وَجْدِيmy longing بِهِfor him
مُنيِّرٌ وَجْدِي بِهِ
أَكْتُمُهُI conceal it وَيَظْهَرُyet it appears
أَكْتُمُهُ وَيَظْهَرُ
Munayyir—my longing for him
My heart's secret I hide
I conceal it, yet it shows.
Yet it shines out from my breast
وَكَيْفَand how تَخْفَىcan be hidden لَوْعَتِيmy burning anguish
وَكَيْفَ تَخْفَى لَوْعَتِي
وَقَدْwhen indeed غَداit has come to يُنيِّرُshine
وَقَدْ غَدا يُنيِّرُ
And how can my burning anguish be hidden,
How can I veil my love
When it has begun to shine?
When it illuminates the day?
