أَنا جَزَرنا عَنِ الكَذّابِ هامَتَهُ

أَنا جَزَرنا عَنِ الكَذّابِ هامَتَهُ

مِن بَعدِ طَعنٍ وَضَربٍ يَكشِفُ الخُمُرا

مِن بَعدِ طَعنٍ وَضَربٍ يَكشِفُ الخُمُرا

I—we severed the liar’s head from him,

I severed the liar's hopes after repeated stabs and blows that uncover veils,

After thrusting and blows that strip away veils.

And Layla wished to deflect your purpose,

وَلَيلى تَمَنَّت أَن تُزيغَ بِكَ النَوى

وَلَيلى تَمَنَّت أَن تُزيغَ بِكَ النَوى

وَتَمنَعَ لَيلى مِنكَ عَذبَاً مُمَنَّعا

وَتَمنَعَ لَيلى مِنكَ عَذبَاً مُمَنَّعا

And Layla wished that separation would carry you astray,

And Layla denied you a sweet denied thing.

And that Layla would withhold from you a well-guarded sweetness.
