1. هَذهْ كَريمةُ آلِ عَكَّاوي مَضَت

    أَسَفاً فَأَجرَت كُلَّ عَينٍ بِالدَّمِ

    This noble daughter of the Akkawi family has passed away,

    alas, making every eye weep blood.

  2. لَحِقَت بِطَنُّوسَ ابنِ نَصرٍ قَرينَها

    فَتجاورا بِحِمَى النَّعيمِ الأَعظَمِ

    She joined Tannous, son of Nasr, her husband,

    so the two dwelt side by side in the sanctuary of supreme bliss.

  3. قَد فارَقَت هَذي الحَياةَ وَغادَرَت

    في النّاسِ ذِكرَ فضائلٍ لَم تُكتَمِ

    She has departed this life and left behind

    among the people a memory of virtues that were not concealed.

  4. وَلِأَجلِها كَتبَ المُؤرِّخُ أَسطُراً

    يُهدى بِها بُشرى الخَلاصِ لِمريَمِ

    And for her sake the chronicler wrote lines

    through which glad tidings of salvation are offered to Maryam.
