1. بني مَنَسَّى فقَدتم فاضلاً عَلَماً

    على مَمَرِّ اللَّيالي ليسَ ننساهُ

    Sons of Manassā, you have lost a virtuous, distinguished man.

    Through the passing nights, we shall not forget him.

  2. في سِفْرِ تأريخِهِ طِرْسٌ يُبشِّركمْ

    إِلياسُ في العرشِ حيٌّ عندَ مَولاهُ

    In the book of his history, a page brings you glad tidings:

    Elias is alive at the throne, with his Lord.
