1. مكسمُيسُ المظلومُ بطركنا الذي

    قامت بهِ التَّقوَى ولاح منارُها

    Maximos al-Mazlum, our patriarch, in whom

    Piety stood firm and its beacon shone.

  2. صَرَفَ الحياةَ بغَيرةٍ مشهورةٍ

    يَبقَى على طول المَدى تَذكارُها

    He spent his life with renowned zeal,

    Whose memory endures for all time.

  3. هو كوكبُ الشَّرقِ اُستقرَّ قَرارُهُ

    في جَنَّةٍ فُتِحَتْ لهُ أخدارُها

    He is the star of the East; his resting place is established

    In Paradise, whose secluded chambers were opened to him.

  4. ولأجلهِ كَتَبَ المؤرِّخُ نظمَهُ

    إنَّ الكواكبَ في السَّماءِ قَرارُها

    And for his sake the chronicler wrote his verse:

    Indeed, the stars have their resting place in heaven.
