The young man's remembrance is a sign of his forgetting;
The youth's mention is a sign of his being forgotten
and his longing is a token of his separation.
And his longing is a title of his estrangement

And he does not conceal the secret of love
And he who makes known to people the secret of his love
who makes people aware of his concealment.
Is not one who conceals the passion within him
