1. Listen to the son of God's kindness, Pasha, praise him
With virtue like his own virtue

2. And bestow on him the garments of praise, for he
Is generous, fitting for him is the highest praise

3. He came to grieving Beirut
And relieved anxieties with his fair hand

4. He made evident aspects of his intelligence
At which the lord of all intelligence was confused

5. He brought hearts together in brotherhood when before
They were slaves, contrary to desires

6. When he built for the poor an unassailable fortress
Protected by every brave warrior

7. Goodness is made complete by his kindness
How good is kindness from a beauty!

8. Nobility, to generosity, to courtesy, to
Refinement, to valor, to modesty

9. Glory to Him who apportioned lots among creation
When He singled him out for the best of gifts

10. So if you call on him for generosity, you will find
His hands generously bestowing sincere favors

11. And if you call him to battle, you will see him
Atop the well-trained, valiant steed

12. O you whom we praise in speech and whose
Conversation has delighted travelers in the desert!

13. Beirut loves you, for you are her beloved,
The hoped-for one in ease and hardship

14. And so, her governor, you were a gift of love to her
This cup, a symbol of affection and serenity

15. In gratitude for what your hands have brought of dew
You still grasp glory and supremacy
