I said to Laylā[1]: what is the remedy for my sleeplessness?
She said: our reunion by the coming of dawn
I said to Laylā: how brief the times of our reunions are
She said: and how tormenting the briefness
I said to Laylā: my body has become exhausted from our longing
She said: may God be your remedy for I have heard you
I said to Laylā: and who has attested to my state?
She said: my face attests to your touch and trace
I said to Laylā: how many have perished from your love?
She said: have you counted the waves of all the seas?
