مِن آلِ نابُلُسِي الأَمجادِ مُرتَحِلٌ

وَلّى فَذابَت عَلى آثارِهِ المُهَجُ

A seeker of glory from the family of Naplouse

He turned away, so the traces melted for him

قَد فاجأَتْهُ المَنايا وَهيَ غادِرةٌ

فَراحَ كَالسَيفِ في الأَكفانِ يَندَرِجُ

Death surprised him while departing

So he went like a sword in the shroud wrinkling

وَإِذ مَضى نَحوَ باريهِ فَأَنزَلَهُ

في جَنَّةٍ رُفَعَت فيها لَهُ الدّرَجُ

And when he went towards his Creator, He lodged him

In a garden where ranks were raised for him

رامَ المُبَشِّرُ تاريخاً فَصاحَ بِهِ

إِنَّ الأَعالي بِميخائيلَ تَبتَهِجُ

The evangelizer wanted a date, so he called to him

Indeed the heights rejoice for Michael
