1. My longing and passion for you grows
Do you not see what illness has done to my body?

2. My heart, what has it been made to endure?
The heat of yearning, the pain, the trials.

3. God’s vast lands feel constricted to me.
Oh men, is there no one else suffering in this world?

4. Separation pains me, desire wounds me,
My home abandoned, my family torn apart.

5. How can I reach Layla when she is veiled?
Long have I known her, no veils between us.
