تَصَّبروا يا بَنِي الجَمَّالِ بَعدَ فَتىً

نالَ الرِضى في جِوارِ الخالقِ الأَزَلي

Be patient, O sons of beauty, after a man

Who attained satisfaction in the presence of the Eternal Creator

لِذاكَ إِذا نَظَمَ التاريخ قُلتُ بِهِ

قَد حَلَّ في العَرشِ يوحَنّا مَعَ الرُسُلِ

Therefore, when history is written about him, I will say

John has joined the prophets on high in the Throne
