1 | O People! There is no other deity but Allah! |
2 | The Compassionate, the Beneficent, the Gracious; |
3 | All praise and worship be to Allah and no other! |
4 | Let the truth be now revealed concerning Antioch; |
5 | The great city founded by Constantine; |
6 | The site of the founding of Christianity; |
7 | The most sacred city of Christianity. |
8 | Beautiful Antioch, home of the great temple of Hagia Sophia. |
9 | The jewel and the magnificent city upon the cross roads of Asia. |
10 | Whereas once you were a beacon of hope for the world, |
11 | You have now become all that is wrong with the world. |
12 | Fearful and isolated, you do not appoint moral men to your provinces, |
13 | But men of poor character and deep pockets in search of family fortunes. |
14 | Antioch you have lost your way. |
