Hala is waiting full of hope, a hope larger than the Libyan ship coming to us here, which I have wished so much she were on so I could embrace her; when they reach I will see in every one of them a piece of Hala's image, and I will ask them why they did not bring Hala with them. 
Hala anasuburi matumaini kamili, matumaini yaliyo makubwa kuliko meli ya Libya inayoelekea kuja hapa, ambayo mimi nimetamani sana kwamba yeye angekuwa mmoja kati ya wale walio kwenye meli hiyo ili nami nipate kumkumbatia; watakapofika nitaona ndani ya kila mmoja atakayekuja na hiyo meli kipande kidogo cha picha ya Hala, na nitawauliza kwa nini hawakumchukua Hala pamoja nao.
