1. كَتَمتُ اِسمَ الحَبيبِ عَنِ العِبادِ

    وَرَدَّدتُ الصَبابَةَ في فُؤادي

    I concealed my beloved’s name from the people,

    And echoed love’s yearning in my heart.

  2. فَوا شَوقي إِلى نادٍ خَلِيٍّ

    لَعَلّي بِاِسمِ مَن أَهوى أُنادي

    And oh, how I long for an empty meeting place,

    Perhaps I may call out the name of the one I love.
