1. Where is Laila, where is she
Separated from me by trickery

2. Has she fulfilled what was ordained
Among lovers, her religion

3. She ignited the fire of my heart
And let me taste it for an instant

4. Since I knew her secret
And fell for her beauty

5. Her sight startled me
May God not tend to her

6. So I clung to longing
For those who told of her

7. And I made excuses with wishes
Yet I saw who she was

8. Why, Laila, did you not reach
The hearts that longed for you

9. And the eyes that wept for you
Oh, my eyes, shed tears

10. You will not see her eyes again
The heavens and earth

11. Will all mourn her loss
How I asked the paths

12. That contained her
Only echo replied

13. Where is Laila, where is she?!
