1. I wept for Layla's son and his son when you saw me
It was right that they wept with me

2. They inspired me to do good until my branches
Blossomed with thriving growth in their meadow

3. And I used to think whenever I spent
A night of life I was sure I’d only see them

4. I hoped to pay off my debt but did not do so
Yet my death was delayed, yes, after their time
