Mu gikombe cya Al-Aqiq ni ho twahuriye,

twebwe n'abafite amaso y'umukara tsiri

Ese utekereza iki ku Musazi wa Layla?

Yasaze ubusazi buke ugereranyije n'ubu

Wa maso yanjye we, mbega ukuntu wanteye kunanirwa,

namwe bikoni by'amaso yanjye, mbega ukuntu mwanyihunje

Wa mutima wanjye muto we, ihangane,

ku bw'abo bose bantaye bakagenda

Nabatandukanyijeho ku wa mbere,

mu gitondo cy'uwa kabiri nari nishwe n'irungu mbabuze

Ni abatware b'imfura bansize inyuma,

barira amarira y'amaraso atemba mu maso yanjye

Nararize kugeza n'inyoni,

zicaye ku mashami y'ibiti zinyonreye

Ndahiye ku Mana, nindamuka mpitanijwe n'urukumbuzi,

muzanyuhagire amarira yanjye bwite

Nimunirire muvuge muti,

"Dore haryamye uwishwe n'amaso y'uburanga."

Nakomeje kuzenguruka iruhande rw'ingamiya,

niringinga nti "Ku bw'Imana, nimunyuze"

"Munjyane mu ngo z'abantu banjye!"

Baragiye batampaye n'amasezerano yo gusezera

Genda, wa ntumwa yanjye we, ubasange,

huta, kandi usome ibiganza byabo

Ubagezeho indamutso yanjye,

ahari bashobora kuzongera kunyakira

Intumwa yanjye yaje iseka,

irambwira iti "Ishime, kuko ubwiyunge bwabonetse!"

Ku bw'isezerano ry'umugati n'umunyu biri hagati yanyu,

banyemereye ko muzongera guhura nanone
