1. منبجٌ أهلها حَكَوا دودَ قزٍّ

    عندهم تُجعلُ البيوتُ القبورا

    Manbij—its people resemble silkworms;

    Among them, houses are made into graves.

  2. ربِّ نعِّمهمُ فقدْ ألفوا مِنْ

    شجرِ التوتِ جنَّةً وحريرا

    Lord, grant them bliss, for they have grown used to what comes from

    The mulberry trees: a paradise and silk.
