1. هَذي العَروسُ فَتاةُ آلِ كَرامَةٍ

    غَدرَت بِغَضِّ صِبائها الأَيّامُ

    This bride is a daughter of the house of Karama.

    The days betrayed the tender bloom of her youth.

  2. باتَت مكفنةً بِثَوبِ زَفافِها

    كَالبَدرِ قَد وارى سَناهُ غَمامُ

    She lay shrouded in her wedding gown,

    Like the full moon whose radiance clouds have veiled.

  3. تَرَكَت نِقولا مِن بَني توما وَفي

    أَحشائه لِلنائِبات سِهامُ

    She left behind Nicola, of the Tuma family, and in

    his breast lie the arrows of calamity.

  4. أَبقَت لَهُ طِفلاً يَئنُّ لِفَقدِها

    فَتَزيدُ عِندَ بُكائِهِ الآلامُ

    She left him a child who moans at her loss;

    So at his weeping, sorrows grow.

  5. أَمَّت جِوارَ اللَهِ في تاريخِها

    فَعَلى الشَفيقةِ رَحمَةٌ وَسَلامُ

    She sought God's presence; her chronogram reads:

    So mercy and peace be upon the compassionate one.
