1. هَذا الغَريبُ الَّذي أَبكى دِمَشقَ وَقَد

    لاقى مِن البينِ في أَسفارِهِ أَجَلا

    This stranger who made Damascus weep, when

    He met separation in his journeys, faced his fate

  2. أَبقى لآلِ قلاووزَ الكِرامَ أَسىً

    مَدى الزَمانِ يُلاقي مَدمَعاً هَطِلا

    He left the noble family of Qalawoz grieving

    For as long as time continues, their tears flow

  3. مَضى إِلى ربِّهِ الغَفارِ مُتَّخِذاً

    مِن سُبْلِ غُربَتِهِ نَحوَ العُلى سُبُلا

    He went to his Forgiving Lord, taking

    The paths of his exile to the Most High as his roads

  4. فَإِن تَذر تِربَهُ يا مَن يُؤرِّخُهُ

    أَكتب دَعا اللَهُ إِبراهيمَ فَاِمتَثَلا

    So if you visit his grave, O historian

    Write "Abraham prayed to God and He responded"
