'Az ruye pol rad shodim' means 'We crossed over the bridge' — az ruye ('from on top of/over') is a compound preposition, and rad shodan ('to become passed') is the compound verb for 'to cross/pass'.
Where English speakers slip
As with parvāz, the main risk is voicing پ into ب, turning pol ('bridge') into something that sounds like a different word — keep the p sharp and breathy, with no vocal-cord buzz.
