1. مَضى الى اللَه انطون الكَريم وَقَد

    اذاب كلَّ فؤادٍ عند مصرعهِ

    Noble Antoun has gone to God, having

    Melted every heart at his death.

  2. ناحَت بنو فَرَج اللَه الكِرامُ لَه

    بكل جفنٍ سَقاهُ صوبَ مدمعهِ

    The noble sons of Faraj Allah lamented him,

    With every eyelid bathing him in its downpour of tears.

  3. وَمذ ثوى تربةً طابَت جوانبها

    وَقَد غدا في الاعالي طيب مرتعهِ

    And when he rested in a grave whose sides grew fragrant,

    While his pasture had grown pleasant in the heights,

  4. اتيتُ اكتبُ تأريخاً أُعِدَّ لَها

    مراحم اللَه حلَّت حول مضجعهِ

    I came to write a chronogram prepared for it:

    God's mercies have settled around his resting place.
