ماتَ واللهِ ابنُ صصرى

رحمَ اللهُ ابنَ صصرى

The son of Sa'sa' has passed away

May God have mercy on the son of Sa'sa'

ماتَ جودٌ وسخاءٌ

وعطاءٌ كانَ غَمرا

Generosity and munificence died

He was an ocean of giving

ماتَ صدرُ الشامِ لكنْ

لا يهابُ الموتَ صدرا

The heart of Syria has died but

A heart does not fear death

كانَ بالعافينَ برَّاً

ولمنْ يرجوهُ بحرا

He was righteous to the virtuous

And an ocean to those who hoped in him
