Je Nai Nan (Arabic and English) - Fr. Mina Ayad

+ Original Translation - With permission from original composure by Saad Metri and Family +

+ Refrain: One eve, my Lord's voice : came knocking at my gate,
Saying, "Open up quickly : let's share a meal, don't wait." +

But sleep had embraced me : and I chose to delay,
Regret filled my heart : as His voice faded away.

How could I turn away : when He called my name?
Why did I let distraction : put His love to shame?

I wept through the night : seeking forgiveness and grace,
Yearning for a change : a new path to embrace.

With tears as my guide :  I cleansed my heart's core
Seeking His light, His presence :  to be restored.

I opened the door : ready to welcome His might,
Knowing He'll never forsake : in His love I find delight.

One eve my Lord's voice دق باب القلب يوماً

O my Master, how cruel was the shameful death of the cross?

O My Master

Chanted during Vespers & Matins after the Doxologies and the Distribution)

Today the sayings are fulfilled,
From the prophecies and the proverbs,
As Zechariah prophesied and said,
A prophecy about Jesus Christ.

O Zion’s daughter, a just King comes,
He passes by, riding on a foal,
To purify your inhabitants,
He is the Savior of every soul.

Though He is our Judge and King,
He rode on a colt in humility,
Surrounded by angelic hosts,
He took the likeness of men humbly.

Today Jerusalem rejoices,
And the land of Naphtali declares,
With a great voice saying,
“Save us, O holy King.”

From the trees they cut branches,
And on the road they spread garments,
Chanting with hymns and saying,
“Glory to the holy God.”

Branches from palm and olive trees,
The people cried out and proclaimed,
“This is our King who came,
The Reviver of every soul.”

This is the promised day,
Of which King David prayed,
As in the psalms, he says,
“This is the day the Lord has made.”

“Let us rejoice and be glad in it,”
Joyful are the souls of man,
The light of dawn has emerged,
And has shown on every Christian.

Today the blind received vision,
And the children have spoken,
While they are still nursing infants,
As David said in the psalms.

“Out of the mouths of nursing infants,
You have perfected praise,”
Today his saying came to pass,
As the Lord Jesus was praised.

When the residents heard His coming,
At the Mount of Olives, they met Him,
They saw scribes and Pharisees with Him,
And His Apostles, like stars around Him.

We were all in Satan’s snare,
Through Adam’s sin, the first man,
He came and saved every believer,
His salvation reached every human.

The pagans drew near to Him,
Each one received what he sought,
But Israel did not know the Lord,
They disobeyed, and the Law they fought.

The ignorant walked in uprightness,
But the wise ignored the evidence,
Denying the power of the glorified,
And were blind to the tangible truth.

My Coptic church: St Georges deacons

A stranger I lived in the world 
A foreigner like my forefathers
A pilgrim in my attitude
In my thoughts and my desires 
A stranger I have no one to 
Unload on him 
My thoughts so true 

A poem by Pope Shenouda 
غريبا عشت في الدنيا نزيلا مثل اباءي  من اشعار قداسه البابا شنوده الثالث
