1. Precious souls inclined towards intimacy
When love offered the chalice, they became possessed

2. She wished to die young and passionate
So fervor brought her what she had wished for

3. In the alley, the rustling of garments, had they appeared
On the terrace, the leaves would have sang

4. I wondered at her beauty when she was unmatched
To what purpose did she incline after that?

5. A passionate youth complained of his tormenting love
She said: be patient with passion or die

6. He lived not but enamored, and died of love
This is my way with lovers

7. A coffee from me will come to you, if you drink it
You'll wake in the intoxication of passion

8. Do not mix it, for it is forbidden when blended
It would be unlawful if served straight to them

9. For it has made you drunk, so disappear through it
Whoever is turned by serving, will be steadfast

10. And sincere youths, like stars, rode
On the saddles of resolve—they have no weakness

11. Of noble souls, glory never abandoned its affair
It saw Layla's glory through beauty, so it weakened

12. They conspired to keep loyalty and nurtured
The cups of sincerity and held to affection

13. The tavern keeper of her monastery called them
When she ended their intoxication, she gave them life

14. They lived through it in surrender to
Attributes said to be borrowed from it

15. Whoever among us lived never attained the likes of their attainment
But whenever the soul remembers them, it yearns
