سلوانُسُ المَنصورُ أَنشأَ بيعَةً
لِلّهِ شاهِدَةً بِفَضلِ صَلاحِهِ
Sylvanus al-Manṣūr founded a church,
For God—a witness to the excellence of his piety.
فيها نزورُ رَئيسَ أَجنادِ العُلى
أَرِّخ وَنَلجَأُ تَحتَ ظلِّ جَناحِهِ
Therein we visit the chief of heaven’s hosts;
Mark its date: “And we take refuge beneath the shadow of his wing.”
Sol 5.6
