The paths of al-Mamdur are empty, you will not find there

خلت شعب الممدور لست بواجد

1. The paths of al-Mamdur are empty, you will not find there
Anything but ruins and broken walls.

١. خَلَت شُعَبُ المَمدورِ لَستَ بِواجِدٍ
بِهِ غَيرَ بالٍ مِن عِضاهٍ وَحَرمَلِ

٢. تَمَنَّيتَ أَن تَلقى بِهِ أُمَّ جَحدَرٍ

3. For death is better than a miserable life,
And miserliness is better than prolonged toil.

وَلَلبُخلُ خَيرٌ مِن عَناءٍ مُطَوَّلِ
