1. In her youth Mary's image was hard to draw
Her savior's face illuminated her
١. لمريمَ صَعبَ رَمسٌ في صِباها
عَلَيهِ وَجهُ فاديها أَنارا
2. He called her from a monastery's midst
With him paradise became her abode
٢. دَعاها نَحوَهُ مِن وَسطِ ديرٍ
قَد اِعتاضَت بِهِ الفَردَوسَ دارا
3. In both states she remained with him
A pure maiden marked in annals
٣. فَفي الحالينِ ما بَرِحَت لَدَيهِ
تَؤرِّخُ بَينَ أَخدارِ العَذارى
