If the trouble of the people in this street comes from us,
or if the blame for that sour face is ours,
tomorrow that face will change and turn as fresh as milk,
and we too will be cast out, the way a hair is pulled from milk.
Explanation: The 'sour face' means a scowling, unhappy expression, contrasted with milk as an image of freshness and calm. The closing image plays on removing a hair from milk, a proverbial way of describing something easily and cleanly discarded.

رباعی شمارهٔ ۱۱
گر زحمت مردمان این کوی از ماست
یا جرم ترش بودن آن روی از ماست
فردا متغیر شود آن روی چو شیر
ما نیز برون شویم چون موی از ماست
