1. Do not despair, O sons of the carpenter, but be patient
For the loss of one alive who followed in the steps of his predecessors.
١. لا تَجزَعوا يا بني النَّجارِ واصطبرِوا
لفَقْدِ حيٍّ قَفا آثارَ سابقِهِ
2. When history gave glad tidings of his loss,
Elias said: He lives in the Throne, alive with his Creator.
٢. يقولُ إذ بشَّرَ التأريخُ فاقِدَهُ
إِلياسُ في العرشِ حيٌّ عِندَ خالقِهِ
