1. الامَ عَلى ليلى وَلَو اِستَطيعُها

    وَحُرمَة ما بَينَ البَنِيَّة وَالسِتر

    I am blamed for Layla; and if I could reach her—

    by the sanctity of what lies between the Kaaba and its veil—

  2. لَملت عَلى لَيلى بِنَفسي ميلَةً

    وَلَو كانَ في يَومِ التِحالقِ وَالنَحرِ

    I would lean toward Layla with my whole being,

    even on the day of head-shaving and sacrifice.
