جوع وعري وحفا
وماء وجه قد عفا
Hunger, nakedness, and bare feet—
Hunger, nakedness, and dust
and the dignity of the face has faded away.
And a face whose water has dried
وليس للأنفس إن
تخبر عما قد خفا
Nor may souls
Souls cannot reveal
tell of what has been concealed.
What has been concealed
قد كنت أبكي طرباً
فصرت أبكي أسفا
Once I wept from ecstasy;
I used to cry out of joy
now I have come to weep from sorrow.
Now I cry out of sorrow
Sol 5.6
