1. Our metropolitan Yusuf has built
A school for knowledge, honored by it

2. The scholar Yusuf Jajjawi began it
And completed it like one restarting

3. It rose on knowledge like the fires of villages
Calling to it all who seek shelter

4. Named for Lebanon though not
From its buildings the proudest or dearest

5. If you seek a date, chant above it
Say, O hungry for knowledge, this is Yusuf
