1. Noble Franciscolay in his final repose,
Bathed in the mercies of the All-Forgiving.

2. A valiant knight has left the progeny of musk,
And Beirut was swathed in clouds of sorrow.

3. At his demise, virtues mourned as copiously
As the innocent wept with flowing tears.

4. He gained the reward of the long-suffering, having passed
With thanks extolling the Creator on his tongue.

5. And so he attained, in his Lord's meadows,
The bliss allotted to the righteous.
