1. A stranger whose absence made weep
The eyes of the non-Arabs and Arabs alike

2. With him the blond, distressed,
To his father the agony of heart

3. Calling for Jorjus while blood
Dripping from the doves flying aimlessly

4. Oh branch that withered but
Had glory in the garden of the Lord

5. Oh moon that set from the
Horizon of Beirut to the west

6. Amazingly history showed
The moon vanished into dust
