1. اني لاحكي لعيني مبصري طللا

    نال البلى منه قسطاً وهو يحكيني

    I indeed resemble a ruin in my beholder’s eyes.

    Decay has claimed a share of it, and it resembles me.

  2. قد بت والحق منبوذين في بلد

    كنا عزيزيه ابكيه ويبكيني

    Truth and I have become outcasts in a land

    Where we were once its cherished two; I weep for him, and he weeps for me.
