1. Every time I visit Layla's house, is she struck?
What sin did the lamb commit for the earth to melt her fat?

2. He who honors Layla honors me, and he who humiliates her
Humiliates me, and Layla is the secret of my soul and its delight

3. If they forbid Layla greetings and tighten against her
Because of me, and her guard persists

4. I came even if swords would stab me
And I circled the quarters of the neighborhood where she was hurt

5. I wish what I intend for Layla would befall me
And I wish what she intends for us would not befall her

6. So do not blame me for the dangers of my passion
Every soul yearns where its beloved settles
