1. My heart is distraught for this life with Lulu,
For what has happened to people along with Lulu.
١. قلبي لعمرُ اللهِ معلولُ
بما جرى للناسِ معْ لولو
2. O Lord, time has scattered from us happiness,
A sword unsheathed against the world is Lulu.
٢. يا ربُّ قدْ شرَّدَ عنَّا الكرى
سيفٌ على العالمِ مسلولُ
3. This sword has no scabbard,
Except You, O Most Gentle and Forbearing.
٣. وما لهذا السيفِ مِنْ مغمدٍ
سواكَ يا مَنْ لطفُهُ السولُ
