عجزتُ فوليتها ظهرِيَهْ
I practiced withdrawal when young, and in my old age
I grew impotent, so I turned my back on her.
فقالتْso she said أعدْrestore حالناour state أولاًas before
فقالتْ أعدْ حالنا أولاً
فعزلُكfor your withdrawal خيرٌis better منthan التوليهْturning away

So she said, "Restore our former state,
for your withdrawal is better than turning away."
