ما نالَ سِرَّ الهَوى مِمَّن كلفتُ بِهِ

ما نالَ سِرَّ الهَوى مِمَّن كلفتُ بِهِ

مِنّي صَديقٌ وَلا أَبثَثتَهُ بَشَرا

مِنّي صَديقٌ وَلا أَبثَثتَهُ بَشَرا

The secret of my love for the one I adore has not been learned

None who I confided the secret of love to

From me by any friend, nor have I divulged it to anyone.

Was a friend of mine, nor did I complain to any mortal

خِفتُ الرَقيبَ عَلَيهِ وَالوُشاةَ بِهِ

خِفتُ الرَقيبَ عَلَيهِ وَالوُشاةَ بِهِ

فَقَد جَعَلتُ اِسمَهُ في القَلبِ مُستَتِرا

فَقَد جَعَلتُ اِسمَهُ في القَلبِ مُستَتِرا

I feared for him the watcher and the talebearers,

I feared the spy upon it and the slanderers by it

So I have kept his name hidden in my heart.

So I have kept its name hidden, concealed in my heart
