1. After separation, a house and neighbors changed
Neither the house remained as it was, nor did the people remain as they were

2. If you ask about the house, the house is its people
The only difference is that it stood still while they moved away

3. Yesterday doves cooed in the garden
Today crows cawed in the ruins

4. Though a house may cast shade like a garden
And homes become desolate places when deserted

5. If their company brought us joy when near
Then their absence has estranged us, O neighbors!

6. Parting from loved ones is the most difficult separation
Time passed, days went by

7. Generosity and wealth never gather in one palm
Beauty and kindness never gather in one face

8. Rather, one face to him is like the sun at night
While to her, his palm is like the deceitful sea
