سفحت على اقدام ليلى مدامعي

وليلى سوى صد يبرح لا تبدى

My tears flowed at Layla's feet,

Yet Layla, nothing but aloofness persists, she does not relent,

واني من بعد الدموع لسافح

دمي في هواها وهو آخر ما عندي

And I, after the tears, am still pouring out,

My blood in passion for her, and that is all I have left.
