The love of Layla was pure, we did not obey

صفا ود ليلى ما صفا لم نطع به

1. The love of Layla was pure, we did not obey
An enemy because of it, nor did we hear it said by a companion.

١. صَفا وُدُّ لَيلى ما صَفا لَم نُطِع بِهِ
عَدوّاً وَلَم نَسمَع بِهِ قيلَ صاحِبِ

2. So when the love of Layla inclined to a side
And people, we inclined to a people and a side.

٢. فَلَمّا تَوَلّى وُدُّ لَيلى لِجانِبٍ
وَقَومٍ تَوَلَّينا لِقَومٍ وَجانِبِ

3. And every friend after Layla fears me
For treachery, or is content with a proximate love.

٣. وَكُلُّ خَليلٍ بَعدَ لَيلى يَخافُني
عَلى الغَدرِ أَو يُرضى بِوُدٍّ مُقارِبِ
