شَيَّبَmade gray الوُجوهَthe faces تَباكىweeping together فيin مَعاطِنِهاtheir watering places
شَيَّبَ الوُجوهَ تَباكى في مَعاطِنِها
تَجاوُبَanswering one another النَوحِof the wailing فيin رَفعٍraising the voice وَتَفتيرِand softening it
تَجاوُبَ النَوحِ في رَفعٍ وَتَفتيرِ
Weeping together in their watering places made faces grow gray—
Greyed are the faces, weeping in their dwellings
Wails answering wails, now rising, now subsiding.
Echoing are the wails, rising and falling
