حاشا لهامة من أتى لخلاصنا
أن تعتريها غوائلُ الأخداشِ
Far be it from the head of Him who came for our salvation
that the ravages of wounds should assail it.
تكليلُها بالشوك كان مبشِّراً
بنجاة آدم من يد الأخداش
Its crowning with thorns heralded
Adam’s deliverance from the hand of wounds.
لما أمال يسوع عنا راسَه
رُفِعت بذلك هامةُ المتلاشي
When Jesus bowed His head on our behalf,
the head of the perishing one was thereby raised.
حاشاك ربي من خدوشٍ أثرت
بالوسم فيك ولا أزال أُحاشي
Far be it from You, my Lord, to bear wounds that left
their branded mark upon You; I shall ever hold You above them.
لكن لأمرٍ شئتَه لخلاصنا
كنتَ الضمين لنا من الإرعاش
Yet, for a purpose You willed for our salvation,
You were our surety against trembling.
Sol 5.6
