1. Do you cry for Layla when your soul has taken
Your grave far from Layla though you were neighbors

2. So it's not good that you readily come to her
And are saddened that the young caller calls you both

3. Stop and bid farewell to Nejd and whoever lodged at Al-Hima
And tell Nejd that we seldom bid it farewell

4. And when I saw the messenger turn away from us
And the young ladies of yearning sighed with removal

5. I turned toward the neighborhood until I found myself
Hurt from listening, wishing and being tricked

6. My left eye cried so when I rebuked it
For ignorance after wisdom, both poured down

7. And I remember the days of Al-Hima, then I leaned
On my liver fearing that it would crack

8. The evenings of Al-Hima do not go back
To you, but set your eyes free to tear

9. With me, every young man who disobeyed his blamers
With the union of loves from of old they were raised

10. When he walks in the two gowns, the watching eyes
Hastened to him, looking with anticipation
