هَذهْ كَريمةُ آلِ عَكَّاوي مَضَت
أَسَفاً فَأَجرَت كُلَّ عَينٍ بِالدَّمِ
This noble lady of the Akkawi family has departed,
Alas, making every eye weep blood.
لَحِقَت بِطَنُّوسَ ابنِ نَصرٍ قَرينَها
فَتجاورا بِحِمَى النَّعيمِ الأَعظَمِ
She joined Tannus ibn Nasr, her consort,
And the two dwell side by side in the shelter of supreme bliss.
قَد فارَقَت هَذي الحَياةَ وَغادَرَت
في النّاسِ ذِكرَ فضائلٍ لَم تُكتَمِ
She has left this life and left behind
Among the people the memory of virtues that could not be hidden.
وَلِأَجلِها كَتبَ المُؤرِّخُ أَسطُراً
يُهدى بِها بُشرى الخَلاصِ لِمريَمِ
For her sake, the chronicler wrote lines
Through which glad tidings of salvation are offered to Maryam.
