1. Your life was not long, death is certain
And this world pleases no one

2. You were not just one to be mourned and forgotten
But a revolution that redeems people

3. You disdained living so you lived free
While those who seek to remain are enslaved!

4. Indeed death is nobler than a life
Where fools reign over the wise

5. By your life nothing in this land
Gladdens the heart but strangling in it!

6. So recite in heaven now and ascend
With a smiling face and truthful words

7. We hope to live the life of Noah
Yet is there anything we see that deserves it?

8. And for Syrians, disasters did not suffice
Nor did we avoid what hurts

9. We thought our killer was the regime
Yet behind it is West and East!

10. Tyranny frightens its people against us!
And makes them believe Damascus has died

11. No, by God, it did not die, but rather
On its outskirts are the corrupt neighbors!

12. A pigeon says: There is good in gentleness
But does gentleness help against the plague?!

13. Its words will surely give birth to its burden
And the death of its free ones is divorce

14. Revolutions are a mother of blood
The free bleed, while the castrated yell!

15. You have fulfilled, oh Sarout, so delight
In what you offered, some of death is freedom!

16. Farewell, you only died to live
And your heart still beats within us

17. If the world cries for him with every eye
Then the gardens of bliss are more deserving of him!
