1. مَثوىً لِمَنّونَ قَد حَلَّت بِهِ فَشَجا

    حَبيبُ عَودة بِالأَحزانِ مَصرَعُها

    A resting place for Mannoun, who has settled here, bringing grief;

    Her death has filled Habib Awda with sorrow.

  2. عَروسُ حسنٍ عَلى مَهد البِلَى جُلِيَت

    فَنَقَّطَتها مِن الأَجفانِ أَدمُعُها

    A bride of beauty, unveiled upon the cradle of decay;

    And her tears from the eyelids spangled her.

  3. هيَ الملاكُ ملاكُ الطّهرِ قَد رَحَلَت

    عَنا فكانَ لِدارِ العَرشِ مَرجِعُها

    She is the angel, the angel of purity; she has departed

    From us, and her return was to the abode of the Throne.

  4. فَقالَ مَوقفُ تاريخٍ بِهِ طَلَعَت

    إِنَّ المَلائكَ في الفَردوسِ مَرتَعُها

    Then the moment in history when she ascended proclaimed:

    Indeed, the angels have their pasture in Paradise.
