1. I wept for people I loved when we parted
Though they brought me no harm, nor did I bring them benefit
١. بكيت على لقيا أناسٍ وددتهم
وإن كان لا ضري يعدّ ولا نفعي
2. And though it's said the one below the two hills has a place
Within me there is nothing below the two hills, nor are there tears
٢. وإن قيل دون القلتين مكانه
فما فيّ دون القلتين ولا دمعي
