"How the city of praise has not been deserted, The town of My joy!
How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy!
How [remarkable that] the renowned city is not deserted, the city of my joy! [exclaims one from Damascus].
How is the city of praise not forsaken, the city of my joy?
Forsaken is the renowned city, city of my delight.
How could they have abandoned the praiseworthy city, the city of rejoicing?
