أقول وقد جئنا إلى الوجه جمعنا

عطاشا وكل خاب فيه رجاؤه

I say, as we come to the spring, we gather,

Thirsty, and all hopes in it are dashed.

إذا قل ماء الوجه قل حياؤه

ولا خير في وجه إذا قل ماؤه

If the water of the spring is little, its life is little,

And there is no good in a spring if its water is scarce.
