1. I sent it to you as a gift, as if it were
An apparition of Layla at the end of night visiting

2. Sorrow has emaciated it until we thought it
Bore all the illness for every lover

3. It sees the earring like the earring in Ghadah's ear
So it runs with a fluttering heart without fluttering

4. Hidden from sights unless it moans
Over the cups - no eye has limited it to a sipper

5. It owns half of that house if it all
Befriended sorrow - in it is no food for an intimate
