      فَذُقْتُ مَاءَ حَيَاةٍ مِنْ مُقَبَّلِهَا // لَوْ صَابَ تُرْبًا لَأَحْيَا سَالِفَ الْأُمَمِ      ‎

      I tasted the water of life from her kiss, // which may revive the ancestors, if it hit the earth.

      ʔamin taḏakkuri jīrānin biḏī salami mazajta damʕan jarā min muqlatin bidami
      Is it because of your remembrance of the neighbours of Dhi-salam that tears mixed with blood are flowing
