1. Among what grieved me was that one day when she bid farewell
She would say to us, "I entrust to God those whom I do not know"

2. And how can I console my soul after parting with her
When my chest is cramped from concealing my love for her?

3. By Allah, by Allah the Almighty, in His place
My soul almost vanished without my command

4. My friend, after my death pass by my grave
And say to Layla, "Here lies one slain by estrangement"
