1. قَد ناحَ جبريلُ نحاسٍ قرينَتَهُ

    لَما اِختَفى في الثَرى زاهي مُحيّاها

    Indeed, Jibril Nahhas mourned his wife,

    When her radiant face vanished into the earth.

  2. كَريمةٌ مِن ذَواتِ الطُّهرِ فاضلةٌ

    قَد كانَ مِثل اسمها طِبقاً مُسَمّاها

    Noble Karima, a virtuous woman among the pure—

    She was the exact embodiment of her name.

  3. لَقَد تَوَلَّت وَأَبقَت بَعدَها لِبَني

    خلاّطَ صيِّبُ دَمعٍ بَلَّ مَثواها

    She has indeed departed, leaving behind for the sons of

    Khallat a downpour of tears that drenched her resting place.

  4. فَقالَ تاريُخنا كُفْواً فَقيدتُكُم

    كَريمةٌ في الأَعالي عِندَ مَولاها

    Then our chronogram fittingly declared: “Your departed one—

    Karima—is on high, with her Lord.”
