1. حقّاً لقد صعد المسيح موَجَّهاً

    نحو العلا ورآه كلُّ نبيهِ

    Truly, Christ ascended, facing

    toward the heights, and every discerning one saw him.

  2. وتلاحقت بصعوده آباؤُنا

    كلٌّ له بالفوز حظُّ وجيهِ

    And at his ascension our fathers followed in succession,

    Each having a distinguished share in triumph.

  3. ولج الإلهُ ديارَ ملكِ أبيه مع

    أنصاره حقّاً بلا تمويه

    God entered the dwellings of his Father's kingdom with

    his supporters, truly, without deception.

  4. وتباشرت فيه الملائك عندما

    رأت الأنام نجت بنصر فقيه

    And the angels rejoiced together in him when

    they saw humankind saved through a learned man's aid.

  5. والأرضُ صارت للبرية مهيعاً

    لنجاتِها بعد الشَّقا والتيه

    And the earth became for humankind a broad path

    to its salvation after misery and wandering.
