1. يا رَبَّ دَوارَ أَنقِذ أَهلَهُ عَجَلاً

    وَاِنقُض مَرائِرَهُ مِن بَعدِ إِبرامِ

    O Lord of Dawār, rescue its people swiftly;

    and unravel its cords after they have been firmly twisted.

  2. رَبِّ أَرمِهِ بِخَرابٍ وَاِرمِ بانِيَهُ

    بِصَولَةٍ مِن أَبي شِبلَينِ ضِرغامِ

    My Lord, strike it with ruin, and strike its builder

    with the onslaught of a fierce lion, father of two cubs.
