O Layla’s husband, how can you combine peace with her
and war against me, when war has flared between us?
لَهاhers is مِثلُthe like of ذَنبيmy guilt اليَومtoday إِنif كُنتI am مُذنِباguilty
لَها مِثلُ ذَنبي اليَوم إِن كُنت مُذنِبا
وَلاand no ذَنبguilt ليis mine اِنif كانَit is the case لَيسَthere is no لَهاfor her ذَنبguilt
وَلا ذَنب لي اِن كانَ لَيسَ لَها ذَنب
Her guilt today is like mine, if I am guilty,
and I bear no guilt if she bears none.
