By رابعة العدوية

I have known of love only since knowing your love,
I have shut my heart against all that is but you

And so I stand whispering to you who sees,
The secrets of hearts, all whilst none sees you

I love you with two loves, one of Passion,
And a love that is wholly deserving of you

So as for that love born from Passion,
It busies me with remembrance only of you

And as for that love deserving of you,
It lifts all veils until I do see you

And I am not to praise for this love or that,
But true praise is yours for this one and that
