1. زفَّ الجَمالُ على انطونَ غانيةً

    تُدعى باسمآءِ حسنٍ باهرٍ نَضرٍ

    Beauty led a fair maiden to Anton as a bride,

    called by names of dazzling, blooming beauty.

  2. نعمَ القرانُ قرانٌ اذ نؤَرخهُ

    جرى بعام اقتران الشمس بالقمرِ

    What a splendid union—a union that, when we date it,

    took place in the year of the sun’s conjunction with the moon.
