1. هَذا ضَريحُ طَبيبِنا الشَهمِ الَّذي

    قَصَفَت شَبيبتَهُ يَدُ الأَقدارِ

    This is the tomb of our noble physician, whose

    youth was shattered by the hand of fate.

  2. أَبكى طَرابُلُسَ الشآمَ وَدونَها

    يَبكيهِ لُبنانُ مَدى الأَدهارِ

    He made Tripoli of al-Sham weep, and on this side of it

    Lebanon mourns him through the ages.

  3. فَلَكُم بَني الخَورِي العَزاءُ لِأَنَّهُ

    قَد حَلَّ عِندَ اللَّهِ خَيرَ جِوارِ

    So, sons of al-Khuri, take consolation, for he

    has come to dwell with God, in the best of company.

  4. وَعِبارةُ التأريخِ أَمْلَتْ فَوقَهُ

    نالَ السَليمُ سَلامةَ الأَبرارِ

    And above him, the chronogram's wording declared:

    Salim attained the peace of the righteous.
