Layla e Majnum

“ma ashrakat ash-shamsu fi duha illa manadat Layla

ma qamarun bana al-masa' duna dikra-ha”

la-na, kana tarqusu ruhi

la-ha, kanat farhatu mari

riyah awsilini la-ha

riyah a'idi-ha li
ma ashrakat al-shamsu fi-duha

illa manadat Layla

ma qamarun bana l-masa

duna dikra-ha

yinan kanat taskunu suduri

yinan kanat tuskiru ishqi
milad la tazalu huna

dilal la tuasini
ma ashrakat al-shamsu fi-duha

illa manadat Layla

ma qamarun bana l-masa

duna dikra-ha
tifyanu zuma as-sama

tifyanu jabati az-zaman

ma qalbi illa la-ha

ila al-abad
