1. هَذي العَروسُ فَتاةُ آلِ كَرامَةٍ

    غَدرَت بِغَضِّ صِبائها الأَيّامُ

    This bride is a daughter of the Karamah family.

    The days betrayed the tender bloom of her youth.

  2. باتَت مكفنةً بِثَوبِ زَفافِها

    كَالبَدرِ قَد وارى سَناهُ غَمامُ

    She lay shrouded in her wedding gown,

    Like the full moon whose radiance a cloud has veiled.

  3. تَرَكَت نِقولا مِن بَني توما وَفي

    أَحشائه لِلنائِبات سِهامُ

    She left Nicola of the Tuma family, and in

    his inmost depths lie the arrows of calamity.

  4. أَبقَت لَهُ طِفلاً يَئنُّ لِفَقدِها

    فَتَزيدُ عِندَ بُكائِهِ الآلامُ

    She left him a child who moans at her loss,

    So with his weeping, the pains increase.

  5. أَمَّت جِوارَ اللَهِ في تاريخِها

    فَعَلى الشَفيقةِ رَحمَةٌ وَسَلامُ

    She sought God's nearness; her chronogram reads:

    So upon the tender-hearted one be mercy and peace.
