1. إِنَّ لي في الهَوى لِساناً كَتُوماً

    وَجَناناً يُخفي حَريقَ جَواه

    Indeed, in love I have a tongue that guards its secrets,

    And a heart that hides the fire of its anguished longing.

  2. غَيرَ أَنّي أَخافُ دَمعي عَلَيه

    سَتَراهُ يُفشي الَّذي سَتَراه

    Yet I fear my tears will betray it:

    You will see them reveal what both have concealed.
