1. اعادَ اسمَ انطونَ ابنَ غنَّاجةَ ابنُهُ

    اخو الفضل الياسٌ بنجلٍ لَهُ بكرِ

    His son revived the name of Antoun, son of Ghannaja,

    Elias, a man of virtue, through his firstborn son.

  2. تَنال العلا ارّخ وَترقى لأُفقهِ

    أَلا يا هلالاً قد تولَّد من بدرِ

    You attain the heights—mark the date—and rise to his horizon,

    Behold, O crescent that has been born of a full moon!
