1. قالوا لنَا باقلٌ وَلي فَقُلتُ لَهُم

    ما ماتَ مَن ماتَ عَن أَهلٍ وَعَن وَلَدِ

    They told us, “Baqil is gone,” so I said to them:

    “Whoever dies leaving family and offspring has not died.

  2. في كُلِّ يَومٍ كِلابُ السُّوقِ نقتُلها

    وَكلَّ يَومٍ كِلابُ السوقِ في البَلَدِ

    Every day we kill the dogs of the marketplace,

    Yet every day there are dogs of the marketplace in town.”
