1. Laila was not satisfied with my estrangement until
She saw with her eyes the wound in my heart

2. And you were not content with shedding my blood but
In passion made public my honor and faith

3. So I said to her, "Have mercy on one in pain," and she said,
"My mother, I am afflicted so who will help me?"

4. "Can you have mercy in passion when you are aflame?
Is there in love, my mother, any pity for me?"
