1. The visitor who came from Jabal Al Zabadani
Is the best of all who came from Bouan's mountains

2. When spring settled there in every season
Came the wise Abu Al-Fath, the young philosopher full of kindness

3. His eyes were delighted by Madyan's waters that remained
So for those eyes many thanks

4. Then the big spring, treat it well, it is
Water and the spring of Baloudan

5. And if you want to see the coast and the plains
Then ascend the cliffs of Meryounan

6. Indeed Anba Saba of Deir Qubais
Is glorious, the most profound in meaning

7. Safe from the ignorance of the blind
Excellent, far from the ignorance of the content

8. And with him, cups shine like suns
And darkness in the monks' monasteries

9. O Abu Al-Fath, you visited gardens
While we burn in passion

10. May God protect you wherever you are, neighbor
Defending you from the rumors of the envious
