فاز الذي بين الملائك يرتعُ

أنطون أيوب التقي الأروعُ

The one whose light shone among angels returns

Anton Ayoub, the devout, the most virtuous

فإلام نحزن كالذين توهموا

أن النفوس لربها لا ترجع

Why should we grieve like those who imagined

That souls will not return to their Lord

غفر الإله له وضاعف أجره

فلقد ثوى وهباته تتوزع

May God forgive him and double his reward

For he has passed on with his gifts dispersed

ويقينه باللَه طودٌ راسخٌ

تتزعزع الدنيا ولا يتزعزع

His faith in God was steadfast like a mountain

The world may shake but it does not shake

فلذا تنادي نفسه أرخ لنا

يا آل أيوب البتولة تشفع

Therefore his soul calls out "Intercede for us"

O Ayoub family, the maiden intercedes
