    قَصَفَت شَبيبتَهُ يَدُ الأَقدارِ

    This is the tomb of our noble physician, whose

    يَبكيهِ لُبنانُ مَدى الأَدهارِ

    He made Tripoli of the Levant weep; and on this side of it,

    Lebanon mourns him throughout the ages.

    So take comfort, sons of al-Khuri, for he

  4. وَعِبارةُ التأريخِ أَمْلَتْ فَوقَهُ

    نالَ السَليمُ سَلامةَ الأَبرارِ

    “Salim attained the salvation of the righteous.”
