Within me is such love for Layla that, were I to disclose it,
The love of Layla has so enamored me, were I to tell it
even my bitterest enemy would offer me counsel.
Though my worst enemy, he would give me good counsel
هوىًa love لَمْdid not تُغّيرهُchange it الحروبُthe wars ولمand has not يزلْceased
هوىً لَمْ تُغّيرهُ الحروبُ ولم يزلْ

A love that wars have not changed, that still remains
A love war itself left unchanged, and which will not alter
true to its pledge to Layla—or grows and so gains.
Remaining true to my vow to Layla, or grow even stronger
