1. It is a covenant built on the foundations of guidance,
By the grace of the best founder and establisher,
١. هِيَ بِيعَةٌ شِيدَتْ عَلَى أُسُسِ الْهُدَى
مِنْ فَضْلِ خَيْرِ مُشَيِّدٍ وَمُؤَسِّسِ
2. Cyril, the chosen shepherd of shepherds,
Who guides the elite and the leader of souls.
٢. كِيرَلُّسَ رَاعِي الرُّعَاةِ الْمُجْتَبَى
مُهْدِي نفَائِسَهُ وهَادِي الأَنْفُسِ
3. His glorious deeds abound, and this is but some,
Adorned with the finest embellishments.
٣. كَثُرَتْ مَآثِرُهُ وَهَذِي بَعْضُهَا
مِمَّا تَحَلَّى بِالطِّرَازِ الأَنْفَسِ
4. Its title embellished with his blessed name,
In it lies acceptance in the Most Sacred Presence.
٤. عُنْوَانُهَا المُزْدَانُ بِاسْمِ سَمِيِّهِ
فِيهِ القُبُولُ لَدَى المَقَامِ الأَقْدَسِ
5. So may my Lord, in the shade of its intercessor Cyril,
Bless it with graces in its date.
٥. فَلْيَجْعَلِ الْبَرَكَاتِ فِي تَارِيخِها
رَبِّي بِظُلِّ شَفِيعِهَا كِيرَلُّسِ
