1. تاهَت طرابُلُسٌ عزّا بسيدها

    ذي الفضل بولسَ لَمّا تاجَها لَبسا

    Tripoli gloried in her lord,

    the virtuous Boulos, when he donned her crown.

  2. هناك قد قام ارّخ للعُلى شَرَفٌ

    بِهِ تَرى بُولُساً أَعلى طَرابُلُسا

    There arose—record the date!—an honor for the heights,

    through which you see that Boulos has exalted Tripoli.
