1. The abodes are deserted of their dwellers and became desolate
In them there is no pasture for the eye nor fertility
١. ديار خلت من أهلها وتوحشت
فليس بها مرعى لعين ولا خصب
2. Upon them time has cast its shadow until their relics decayed
My eyes denied recognizing them but my heart affirmed them
٢. علاها البلى حتى تعفنت رسومها
وأنكرها طرفي فأثبتها القلب
