1. I come to complain to you of my weary soul
Quenched my thirst and returned with its echo

2. Oh, what have your eyes done
To a helpless refugee seeking its protection

3. It followed him, tracing his dreams
Whenever he slept, it would appear and see him

4. May God quench Layla's thirst
And reward her good on our behalf and bless her

5. And feed her from our wishes and from
Our pure, extracted honey love and water her

6. Bring your eye closer to me, bring it closer
Shadow me and immerse me in its purity

7. And show me the calm sea when
The sea lays down its majesty and fades away

8. And show me the intensity of dawn whose
Thoughts gets lost in its depths and goes astray

9. I discern pearls in its depths
And I see kindness floating in its glory

10. And I see it hiding eternity for those
Who sold their life and bought it with their soul

11. We are bewildered souls who parted
Then met again in its winding paths

12. The heart will forget but an hour
Of bliss it spent in your affectionate lair

13. My heart exclaimed after you told me
What past did your lips reveal to me

14. You whispered in my thoughts so I awoke
My bewildered soul and listened to its call

15. For even if I am not its twin
I was as if I were its brother in the unseen

16. We are bewildered souls who got drunk
And joyous over the tune of its sorrow

17. Bring your soul closer to me, bring it closer
Shadow me and immerse me in its contentment

18. And come talk to me, talk to me
You are the mirror of my passions and their echo

19. Inspire me with the hour of serenity
When days pass by and nothing else exists

20. Then I will go on to a bitter life
Whose morning to me is the same as its evening
