1. I imagined that Layla had veiled herself
From the eyes that grow fond of her love.

2. And I foolishly said, how can I hope for her affection
When a veil prevents her kiss?

3. But no! By God, there is no barrier
That keeps her from the hearts that orbit her.

4. I realized no veil conceals her beauty's light
Except my eyes that cannot see her graces.
