آلَ لَيلى إِنَّ ضَيفُكُمُ

آلَ لَيلى إِنَّ ضَيفُكُمُ

ضائِعٌ في الحَيِّ مُذ نَزَلا

ضائِعٌ في الحَيِّ مُذ نَزَلا

O family of Layla, indeed your guest

Oh Layla's family, your guest

has been neglected in the camp since he arrived.

Has been lost in the neighborhood since he arrived

أَمكِنوهُ مِن ثَنِيَّتِها

أَمكِنوهُ مِن ثَنِيَّتِها

لَم يُرِد خَمراً وَلا عَسَلا

لَم يُرِد خَمراً وَلا عَسَلا

Give him access to her front tooth;

Grant him refuge in her embrace

he wanted neither wine nor honey.

He came not for wine or honey
