لَوَ أَنَّ لَكَ الدُنيا وَما عُدِلَت بِهِ

سِواها وَلَيلى بائِنٌ عَنكَ بَينُها

If all the world and more, were yours to keep

Yet Layla turned away, no love to reap

لَكُنتَ إِلى لَيلى فَقيراً وَإِنَّما

يَقودُ إِلَيها وُدَّ نَفسِكَ حينُها

To Layla you'd still pine, and always yearn

For only her, your soul does truly burn
