غُرْبَانُ الْبَيْنِ فَقَامَتْ تَنْدُبُ الْآثَارَ
The crows of separation rose up and lamented the ruins.
تَنْدُبُ — she laments. A present-tense verb 'laments' carrying a third-person feminine 'she/it', agreeing with the crows in their feminine-singular collective treatment. It follows the previous verb as a fresh action of the same subject and takes a direct object next. The present keeps the mourning vivid and ongoing.
