اللَهُ يَعلَمُ مَن تَغَيَّرَ قَلبُهُ

اللَهُ يَعلَمُ مَن تَغَيَّرَ قَلبُهُ

مِنّي وَمِنكِ وَمَن سَلا وَتَبَدَّلا

مِنّي وَمِنكِ وَمَن سَلا وَتَبَدَّلا

God knows whose heart has changed—

God knows whose heart has changed

Mine or yours—and who has forgotten love and changed.

Of mine and yours, and who turned away

وَلَقَد بَلَوتِ مَوَدَّتي فَوَجَدتِني

وَلَقَد بَلَوتِ مَوَدَّتي فَوَجَدتِني

أَوفى وَأَحفَظَ في المَغيبِ وَأَوصَلا

أَوفى وَأَحفَظَ في المَغيبِ وَأَوصَلا

And indeed, you have tested my affection and found me

You've tested my affection, and found me

More faithful, more mindful in absence, and more constant in love.

The most loyal, and true in absence, steadfast in love

لَو كُنتُ أَقدِرُ يا ظُلَيمَةُ لَم أَغِب

لَو كُنتُ أَقدِرُ يا ظُلَيمَةُ لَم أَغِب

عَنكُم وَأَتَّخِذِ الجَزيرَةَ مَنزِلا

عَنكُم وَأَتَّخِذِ الجَزيرَةَ مَنزِلا

If I could, O Zulayma, I would not be absent

If I could choose, O Zulaymah, I'd not be far

From you, nor make Al-Jazira my home.

From you, but make this island my home
