1. In the presence of al-Bakri
The cups of wine glow

2. From the tavern of al-Bikr
Sacred wine has clarified

3. With clarity, clarity has purified for you from the pure wine
Its aroma, its clarity, you see it

4. It reveals the mistress of intoxication
And the morning and the night

5. If she appears, shining through you
In face and hair

6. So it became a beacon of daytime
The full moon of her face

7. How much a morning, a morning shone
The light of the starry planet

8. With a tall figure, if it rang out
And swayed - but for you with chaste love

9. A shameless flirt
A wonderful, polished, palace doll

10. Its sun shone at night
It rose and your union dawned

11. At the break of dawn
So the beauty of Layla's night became clear

12. The night of power
What is the flower's scent

13. But the redolence of the bright aroma
Recognized by the perfume

14. We have named an oath, sworn
To your majesty, by the sign of dawn

15. The nights of her hair
Its plaits ten

16. In the braiding, pairing and odd number
Blessed is the morning of her face

17. At noon and afternoon
My dear, my flirtatious eyes

18. Flashing love in loss
O Lord, bless

19. The most high place of my Master
Who came with the remembrance

20. Then, always and forever
May Your peace last the duration of time

21. And his noble companions
The purest of chiefs

22. What an ache the lovesick one felt
Since he described your beauty

23. In verse and prose
And cried out, complained, and departed

24. Singing with chaste love
