أَلَيسَ اللَيلُ يَجمَعُني وَلَيلى

أَلَيسَ اللَيلُ يَجمَعُني وَلَيلى

أَلا يَكفي بِذالِكَ مِن تَدانِ

أَلا يَكفي بِذالِكَ مِن تَدانِ

Does not the night bring Layla and me together?

Does not the night unite me and Layla?

Is that not closeness enough?

Is that not enough communion?

تَرى وَضحَ النَهارَ كَما أَراهُ

تَرى وَضحَ النَهارَ كَما أَراهُ

وَيَعلوها الظَلامَ كَما عَلاني

وَيَعلوها الظَلامَ كَما عَلاني

She sees the brightness of day just as I see it.

You see the brightness of day as I see it

And darkness covers her just as it covered me.

And darkness covers her as it covers me
