باسيلِيوسُ الحبرُ أسقُفنا ابتنَى

بيتاً بهِ نورُ الإلهِ تبلَّجا

Basilios the ink is our bishop has built

A house in it the light of God shone

قُدسٌ بَناهُ عَلى اسمِ نيقولاوُسٍ

فَغَدا حِمىً للائذينَ وَمُلتَجا

A sanctuary he built in the name of Saint Nicholas

So it became a refuge for the refugees and a shelter

فَادخُلهُ مُبتَهِلاً فَفيهِ لِكُلِّ مَن

وافى يؤرِّخُهُ الشَفاعةَ تُرتَجَى

So enter it supplicating, for in it for everyone

Who arrives seeking intercession it is hoped for
