قلبي لعمرُ اللهِ معلولُ

بما جرى للناسِ معْ لولو

My heart is distraught for this life with Lulu,

For what has happened to people along with Lulu.

يا ربُّ قدْ شرَّدَ عنَّا الكرى

سيفٌ على العالمِ مسلولُ

O Lord, time has scattered from us happiness,

A sword unsheathed against the world is Lulu.

وما لهذا السيفِ مِنْ مغمدٍ

سواكَ يا مَنْ لطفُهُ السولُ

This sword has no scabbard,

Except You, O Most Gentle and Forbearing.
