1. مَضى عَن آلِ حَيدرَ من بَكتهُ

    عُيونُ الفَضلِ وَالحَسبِ الأَثيلِ

    From Haydar's house has departed one mourned by

    The eyes of virtue and time-honored lineage.

  2. سَرِيٌّ كانَ لِلمَظلومِ كَهفاً

    وَبَحراً لِلمؤمِّلِ وَالنَزيلِ

    A nobleman who was a cave of refuge for the oppressed,

    And a sea for the hopeful and the guest.

  3. ثَوى أَرضاً بِها الأَورادُ تُتلى

    عَلَيهِ في الصَباحِ وَفي الأَصيلِ

    He rests in a land where litanies are recited

    Over him in the morning and in the late afternoon.

  4. وَتاريخي يُنادي كُلَّ حينٍ

    لَقَد وَجَبَ السَلامُ عَلى الخَليلِ

    And my chronogram proclaims at every moment:

    Indeed, peace is due to Khalil.
