1. O noble traveler, go gently
Though hearts are sad that you must leave

2. You were never one to be unkind, so why
Have your ways changed on this day?

3. What calamity has struck Beirut?
She weeps today with no crocodile tears

4. Alas, Alas! Daghr's son is dead
The man of merit​ makes even the noble weep

5. To whom can we turn for light after you, O Beacon
When troubles darken our world?

6. You were a light and fire upon
Any betrayal of the cause of truth

7. My heart yearns for a land where truth is oppressed
And falsehood grows bold

8. O, Abu Al-Fadl, for the virtuous have eyes
Which still shed tears for you

9. In the Protection of the Merciful you raise a noble one
Who bore those virtues

10. The rains nourished him, but if not
Our falling tears would have sufficed

11. Sleep now, for the magnificent
Signs you left remain guiding lights

12. Sleep now, for the memory of you
Still stirs the dormant among us

13. We weep not because you have died
For death comes to all

14. We weep because we have lost
A man, and men of merit are so few
