جفوني وقالوا لا تُقيمن عندنا

فقلتُ نعم لكن على الذُّلّ والخسف

They shunned me and said, "Do not stay with us"

So I said, "Yes, but only in humiliation and disgrace"

وقالوا كثيرا ما حلمناك عندنا

فقلت نعم لكن على ذلك الرّدف

And they said, "We have tolerated you too often here"

So I said, "Yes, but only to return again"
