زُر قَبرَ ميخائيل رَيحانَ الَّذي

قَد حَلَّ حُفرَتَهِ كَما حَكَمَ الرَّدَى

Visit the grave of Michael Rayhan who

His pit became as decreed by fate

شَهمٌ قَضى فَثَوى بِجانبِ مَضجَعٍ

أَمسى بِهِ شَخصُ الكَمالِ مُوَسَّدا

A brave man who passed away and was buried next

To where the epitome of perfection lay his head

قَد عاشَ مَمدوحَ الصَنيعِ وَلَم يَزَل

بِالخَيرِ مَذكوراً عَلى طُولِ المَدى

He lived praised for his work and never stopped

Being mentioned for his virtues over time

وَلَقَد كَتَبتُ مؤرِّخاً مِن فَوقِهِ

يا تُربةَ الرَيحانِ يَسقيكِ النَّدَى

And I wrote above him chronicling

O soil of Rayhan, may the dew water you
