ثم انتأت عني لغير معاد
Beautiful Layla kept me company for a while;
Laila the beautiful kept me company for a while
Then she drew away from me, never to return.
Then parted from me with no promise to return
كانتwas علاقتهاher bond علىover الايامthe days بيwith me
كانت علاقتها على الايام بي
كعلاقةlike the bond الارواحthe souls بالاجسادwith the bodies
كعلاقة الارواح بالاجساد
Her bond with me over the days was
Her relationship with me in those days
Like the bond of souls with bodies.
Was like spirits' bond with bodies
