1. أَرادَ أَن يُخفي هَواهُ فَقَد

    نَمَّ بِما تُخفي أَساريرُه

    He wished to hide his love, yet

    his features betrayed what they concealed.

  2. وَكَيفَ يُخفي داءَهُ مُدنَفٌ

    قَد ذابَ مِن فَرطِ الأَسى رِيرُه

    And how can an ailing man hide his illness,

    when his marrow has melted from overwhelming sorrow?
