وَعقاب جورٍ كاسِرٍ يَسطو عَلى

أَسنى الطّيورِ يَصيدُها ما أَجبَرَه

The unjust falcon's claw preys

On the finest birds, ensnaring them though they ne'er harmed him.

أَرسِلْ لَه رَبَّ السّما بَديلها

إبّالة وَإِليهِ أَرسِلْ قنبرَه

May Heaven send them a replacement!

And to him may it dispatch its punishment!
