Oh dweller of Layla's house in Siqat Al Hayy, it's all erased

يا دار ليلى بسقط الحي قد درست

1. Oh dweller of Layla's house in Siqat Al Hayy, it's all erased
Except the dove and except the fireplace

١. يا دارَ لَيلى بِسِقطِ الحَيِّ قَد دَرَسَت
إِلّا الثُمامَ وَإِلّا مَوقِدَ النارِ

2. The ages won't cease passing while Layla lives and dies as such
Whether she stood still or passed by a house

٢. ما تَفتَأُ الدَهرَ مِن لَيلى تَموتُ كَذا
في مَوقِفٍ وَقَفَتهُ أَو عَلى دارِ

3. Your memory of her wasted your bones after the flesh
As the engraver etches the polished cup

٣. أَبلى عِظامَكَ بَعدَ اللَحمِ ذِكرُكَها
كَما يُنَحِّتُ قِدحَ الشَوحَطِ الباري
