The mixed army went so far away,

أما الخليط فشد ما ذهبوا

1. The mixed army went so far away,
They left but did not fulfill what was required,

١. أمّا الخليطُ فشدَّ ما ذهبوا
بانوا ولم يَقْضوا الذي يجِبُ

2. So the house after them is like a tattoo on a hand,
O house! In you and them is wonder!

٢. فالدَّارُ بعدَهمُ كوشمِ يدٍ
يا دارُ فيكِ وفيهمُ العجبُ

3. Where is she whose beauty was molded
From silver turned gray by gold?

٣. أين التي صيغتْ محاسِنُها
من فضَّةٍ شِيبتْ بها ذهبُ

4. Youth has passed so I said I would mourn it
Not like what they said nor how they mourned.

٤. ولَّى الشبابُ فقلتُ أندبُه
لا مثلَ ما قالوا ولا نَدَبوا

5. A home is in ruins and its features erased
A pouring rain, barren land, and accumulated debris.

٥. دِمَنٌ عفَتْ ومحا مَعالِمَها
هطِلٌ أجشُّ وبارحٌ تَرِبُ
