1. أُدينُ لِلَيلى بِالوَفا غَيرَ جاهِلٍ

    بِأَنَّ الجَفا وَالغَدرَ في الحُبِّ دينُها

    I owe Layla fidelity, not unaware

    that coldness and treachery are her creed in love.

  2. وَإِن أَخلَفَتني الوَعدَ أُجِزُ وَعدَها

    وَلَستُ وَإِن خانَت عُهودي أَخونُها

    And even if she breaks her promise to me, I keep my promise to her.

    And even if she betrays my vows, I will not betray her.
