زُر قَبرَ طَنوسَ الكَريمَ فَإِنَّهُ

رَكنٌ غَدا طَيَّ الضَريحِ مَقوّضا

Visit the grave of the generous Tannous, for it is

A pillar that will tomorrow be undermined by the tomb.

أَبكى بَنِي نَصرَ الكِرامَ دَماً كَما

أَبكى الفَضائلَ وَالمَعالي إِذ مَضى

He made the noble Bani Nasr weep blood as

He made virtues and glories weep when he passed away.

وَلَقَد قَضى بِالخَيرِ مُدَّتَهُ إِلى

أَن زارَ حُفرَتَهُ كَما شاءَ القَضا

Indeed he spent his time doing good until

His grave was visited as decreed by fate.

فَقُلِ السَلامُ عَلى ثَراكَ وَلا تَزل

أَرَّخَتُ تَصحبك المَراحِمُ وَالرِضى

Say peace be upon your grave and may

Mercy and contentment always accompany you.
