1. قلبي لعمرُ اللهِ معلولُ

    بما جرى للناسِ معْ لولو

    My heart, by God's life, is ailing

    because of what has befallen the people with Lulu.

  2. يا ربُّ قدْ شرَّدَ عنَّا الكرى

    سيفٌ على العالمِ مسلولُ

    O Lord, sleep has been driven away from us

    by a sword unsheathed against the world.

  3. وما لهذا السيفِ مِنْ مغمدٍ

    سواكَ يا مَنْ لطفُهُ السولُ

    And there is none to sheathe this sword

    but You, O You whose kindness is what we seek.
