1. Did you not see me hung up for Layla, my beloved
While Layla was hung up for me as a beloved

2. I wish for her to always remain faithful
And that she longs for my body to be frail

3. And if I were told, “Ask for whatever you wish”
I would choose nothing but Al-Amiriyah

4. Oh, if only I returned to Layla and reconciled with her
And oh, if only she lingered with me a little

5. If she rebukes me for debasing myself out of love for her
What lover does not become submissive?

6. I find solace in fantasizing about her when she travels
And when lightning flashes from her like an anklet

7. I love the daughter of Al-Ausi though she is stingy
What beauty is not a little stingy?

8. Even if she got bored or abandoned me
I would still yearn for her morning and evening

9. And if she asked me for someone else instead
By your life! I do not want anyone else
