1. أَنطونُ طفلٌ لِشُكرِ اللَهِ باتَ لَهُ

    مناحةٌ في بَني الخوري وَتَعديدُ

    For Antoun, a child of Shukr Allah, there arose

    Mourning and lamentation among the sons of al-Khuri.

  2. فَقالَ مِن مَنطِقِ التاريخِ صادِقُهُ

    لِمثل هَذا نَعيمُ اللَهِ مَوعودُ

    Then its truthful voice spoke in the language of the chronogram:

    For one such as this, God's bliss is promised.
