اللَهُ يَعلَمُ مَن تَغَيَّرَ قَلبُهُ

مِنّي وَمِنكِ وَمَن سَلا وَتَبَدَّلا

God knows whose heart has changed

Of mine and yours, and who turned away

وَلَقَد بَلَوتِ مَوَدَّتي فَوَجَدتِني

أَوفى وَأَحفَظَ في المَغيبِ وَأَوصَلا

You've tested my affection, and found me

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

لَو كُنتُ أَقدِرُ يا ظُلَيمَةُ لَم أَغِب

عَنكُم وَأَتَّخِذِ الجَزيرَةَ مَنزِلا

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

From you, but make this island my home
