1. زُر قَبرَ جِرجِسَ فَياضَ الكَريم وَقُل

    قَد حُزتَ بَعد البَلايا أَجرَ مُصطَبِرِ

    Visit the grave of the generous Jirjis Fayyad and say:

    After afflictions, you have gained the reward of one who patiently endures.

  2. ظَفرتَ بالنّعمةِ الكُبرى بِأوجٍ عَلى

    أَرِّختَهُ كُنتَ فيهِ لابسَ الظفَرِ

    You won the supreme blessing at a summit risen high;

    I dated it: “There you were clothed in triumph.”
