1. بروحي جيرة أبقوا دموعي

    وقد رحلوا بقلبي واصْطباري

    May my soul ransom the neighbors who left me my tears,

    Yet departed with my heart and my patient endurance.

  2. كأنا للمجاورة اقْتسمنا

    فقلبي جارهم والدمع جاري

    As though we had shared things out to be neighbors:

    So my heart is their neighbor, and tears are my neighbor.
