أَمُرُّ عَلى الدِيارِ دِيارِ لَيلى

أَمُرُّ عَلى الدِيارِ دِيارِ لَيلى

أُقَبِّلَ ذا الجِدارَ وَذا الجِدارا

أُقَبِّلَ ذا الجِدارَ وَذا الجِدارا

I pass by the dwellings—the dwellings of Layla,

I pass by the dwellings—the dwellings of Layla.

and kiss this wall and that wall.

I kiss this wall and that wall.

وَما حُبُّ الدِيارِ شَغَفنَ قَلبي

وَما حُبُّ الدِيارِ شَغَفنَ قَلبي

وَلَكِن حُبُّ مَن سَكَنَ الدِيارا

وَلَكِن حُبُّ مَن سَكَنَ الدِيارا

It is not love of the dwellings that has enthralled my heart,

It is not love of the dwellings that has captivated my heart,

but love of the one who dwelt within them.

but love of the one who dwelt in those dwellings.
