1. مَضى جِرجِسُ اِبنُ المُوصِلِيِّ مُمتَّعاً

    بِعَفوٍ مَنَ المَولى وَقُرةِ عَينِ

    Jirjis, son of al-Mawsili, departed, favored

    With pardon from the Lord and delight of the eye.

  2. رَأى الشَوقَ يَدعوهُ فَبادرَ مُسرِعاً

    إِلى حُفرَةٍ ضَمَّتْ عَلى الأَخَوينِ

    He saw longing beckon him, so he hastened swiftly

    To a grave that closed over the two brothers.

  3. بِها أَغمَد السَيفانِ في التُّربِ أَرِّخُوا

    وَأَصبَحَ فيها مَغربُ القَمَرينِ

    There the two swords were sheathed in the earth—record the date:

    And it became the setting-place of the two moons.
