• Newari: “O God, incline your ears toward us. Open your eyes and see our condition full of desolation and the city that has your name. It is not because we think that we are righteous ones that we make this entreaty, but because of your great mercy. ” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “O God, listen to me. Look-at our (excl.) pitiful situation and the destruction of your (sing.) city where you (sing.) acknowledge as God. We (excl.) are- not -praying to you (sing.) because we (excl.) are righteous, but because we (excl.) know that you (sing.) are very merciful.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “My God, listen to my prayer. Look at us and see our troubles, and see that this city that belongs to you has been ruined/destroyed. We are praying to you because you are merciful, not because we have done what is right/good.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
