1. This stranger who met his death in
The prime of his youth by a fate unforeseen,

2. From the family of Fayyad, whose tears
Poured forth like a flood after he passed.

3. His loss was greatly mourned in Beirut
With clapping and joyous cries.

4. They called for Boutros, his eulogizer - what a
Distance between the land of Syria and Nubia!

5. So he said, do not hope that we will meet, for I
Will remain here forever, having pledged my exile.
