1. بَيتٌ لِسَيدةِ البَشارةِ شادَهُ

    غَرغَورِيوسْ يَبغي بِهِ حُسنَ الرِضَى

    A house for Our Lady of the Annunciation, built by

    Gregory, seeking through it gracious favor.

  2. فَاِدخُلْهُ وَاضرعْ لِلبُتولِ لِأَنَّها

    أَرَّخَتُ شافعةً بِنا يَومَ القَضا

    So enter it and humbly beseech the Virgin, for she is

    (I recorded the date:) an intercessor for us on Judgment Day.
