1. بَكى فَرِحاً بِلَيلى إِذ رَآها

    مُحِبٌّ لا يَرى حَسَناً سِواها

    He wept with joy over Layla when he saw her,

    A lover who sees none fair but her.

  2. لَقَد ظَفِرَت يَداهُ وَنالَ مُلكاً

    لَإِن كانَت تَراهُ كَما يَراها

    His hands have indeed triumphed, and he has gained a kingdom,

    If indeed she sees him as he sees her.
