1. كَتَمتُ الَّذي أَلقاهُ مِنكَ عَنِ الوَرى

    وَلَم أُبدِهِ إِذ لَم يَكُن بِكَ يَجمُلُ

    I concealed from the world what I suffer at your hands,

    And did not reveal it, since it would not have befitted you.

  2. فَلا تَهتِكَنَّ سِترَ المَوَدَّةِ بِالقِلى

    فَيَنصُرَ في صَبري وَرَأيُكَ أَفضَلُ

    So do not rend the veil of affection with aversion,

    So that it may help me endure—and your judgment is better.
