1. يا ابن حرب كسوتني طيلسانا

    يزرع الرفو فيه وهو سباخ

    O son of Harb, you have clothed me in a mantle;

    Darning is sown into it, though it is barren, salty soil.

  2. مات رفاقه ومات بنوه

    وبدا الشيب في بنيهم وشاخوا

    Its companions have died, and its sons have died;

    And gray hair has appeared in their sons, and they have grown old.
