1. قلتُ لميٍّ أنا في حيكُمْ

    ميْتٌ فدتكِ النفسُ مِنْ ميِّ

    I said to Mayy, “In your quarter I am

    dead because of Mayy—may my soul ransom you!

  2. ترينَ ماذا فيَّ قالتْ أرى

    أَنْ يخرجَ الميْتُ منَ الحيِّ

    What do you think of me?” She said, “I think

    that the dead should be taken out of the quarter.”
