مكسمُيسُ المظلومُ بطركنا الذي

قامت بهِ التَّقوَى ولاح منارُها

The oppressed are consoled by our leader

Whom piety established and its minaret shone

صَرَفَ الحياةَ بغَيرةٍ مشهورةٍ

يَبقَى على طول المَدى تَذكارُها

He spent his life with renowned zeal

Its memory will remain for all time

هو كوكبُ الشَّرقِ اُستقرَّ قَرارُهُ

في جَنَّةٍ فُتِحَتْ لهُ أخدارُها

He is the star of the East, settled is his abode

In a paradise opened for him are its maidens

ولأجلهِ كَتَبَ المؤرِّخُ نظمَهُ

إنَّ الكواكبَ في السَّماءِ قَرارُها

And for his sake the historian composed his verse

Indeed the stars in the sky settled is their abode
