فَهَل تَعودن لَيالينا بِذي سِلم

لما بَدَأن وَأَيّامي بِها الأَول

Will our nights return to the ladder's base,

As when they began, and my days were first new?

ازمانُ لَيلى كَعاب غَيرِ غانِيَه

وَأَنتِ امرد مَعروف لَكَ الغَزل

Layla's days are a running stream,

While you, everlasting, fame as bard pursue.
