ذكرتُI remembered ديمرتَDimart اِذwhen طالَwent on at length الغناءُthe singing بِهاin it
ذكرتُ ديمرتَ اِذ طالَ الغناءُ بِها
ياO بُعدَthe remoteness of ديمَرتَDimart منfrom أَبوابِthe gates of جرجانِJurjan
يا بُعدَ ديمَرتَ من أَبوابِ جرجانِ
I remembered Dimart, when the singing there went on at length.
I remembered Deimeter when singing took me far
Oh, how far Dimart is from the gates of Jurjan!
O distant Deimeter from the gates of Gorgan
