1. The noble scholar Al-Zawini passed away hastily,
So he made the youths of Lebanon weep the day he left.

2. He never ceased to do good deeds,
Until the news of his death spread among people.

3. It was as if Louis had never been a refuge,
For the unfortunate, the far and the near.

4. Nor a guiding star for righteousness, guided by his opinion,
Nor a spring of knowledge, quenched by his watering.

5. He lived his life obedient to God,
And benefited the world in his morn and eve.

6. He left his world for God triumphantly,
With the wonders of His grace open and hidden to him.

7. So my date proclaims, giving good news,
"A noble soul is with The Merciful in his death."
