So if weeping could bring anything back,
If weeping could return anything,
I would weep for Bujayr or ʿIfāq,
I would have wept for a neighbor or a dear friend -

لشأنهما بشجوٍ واشتياق
for the two men, when they perished together,
For the two loved ones when they perished together,
on their account, with grief and longing.
Due to their condition, with yearning and longing.
