زُر قَبرَ ملحمَ زِلزلَ الشَهمَ الَّذي

أَجرى النَواظِرَ بِالدِماءِ فِراقَهْ

Visit Malham's grave, it shook the brave one who

Made eyes overflow with tears of parting

وَاُقرَ السَلامَ عَلى ضَريحٍ ضَمنَهُ

غصنُ الفضائلِ قَد ذَوت أَوراقَهْ

And greet with peace a tomb that enclosed

A branch of virtues with withered leaves

رَيّانُ وَلَّى في الشَبيبةِ تارِكاً

حُزناً عَلى بَيروتَ مدَّ رُواقَهْ

Rayyan departed in youth, leaving behind

Sorrow over Beirut with extended corridors

وَلِذاكَ في تاريخها ناحَت عَلى

بَدرٍ أَتاهُ لَدى التَمامِ مَحاقَهْ

And so in its history it mourned over

A full moon that met its eclipse at its height
