I saw in ʿUkbarā a curious occurrence,
I saw in Acre some amusing news
Firsthand, and there is no denying it:
An observation that cannot be denied
إذاwhen غلقclosed up اليهودthe Jews بقواthey remained حيارىbewildered
إذا غلق اليهود بقوا حيارى
وينتعشونand they revive إنif فتحopened up اليهودthe Jews
وينتعشون إن فتح اليهود
When the Jews close up, they are left bewildered,
When the Jews close, they remain confused
And they revive if the Jews open up.
And they prosper if the Jews open
