1. من آلِ يارَدَ في هذا الضَّريحِ فتىً

    قد كانَ في دارِهِ روحاً ورَيحانا

    In this tomb lies a youth of the Yared family,

    Who had been the soul and sweet basil of his home.

  2. سقاهُ داعي المنايا مِن مَوارِدِهِ

    كأساً فراحَ بتلكَ الكأسِ سَكْرانا

    Death's summoner gave him, from his watering places,

    A cup, and he departed, drunk on that cup.

  3. لمَّا مَضَى نحوَ باريهِ على عَجَلٍ

    وهَدَّ من فَقْدهِ للأهلِ أركانا

    When he went in haste toward his Maker,

    And, through his loss, shattered the family's pillars,

  4. ناداهُ رسمٌ مِن التَّأريخِ قُلتُ بهِ

    يا كاسِرَ القلبِ قد سُميِّتَ جُبرانا

    An inscription from a chronogram I composed called out to him:

    “O breaker of the heart, you were indeed named Jubran!”
