1. O bird circling on high
Bear my greetings, do not leave me calling out

2. Bear, may God guide you, my message
To a land, if you are roaming the earth

3. To a deserted place, from near Layla, gone astray
With it my heart is bound, and my innermost being

4. Alas, would that a day comes upon me after parting from you
On that day I will take as my last provision
