1. Drink the pure water and be blessed with health
And wellbeing in your body, O wayfarer.

2. For this is a path built by a princess
With a sea of generosity, its water ever-flowing.

3. With sincerity for God in Egypt she composed
With her charity what adorns more than necklaces.

4. For people now flows from her rain of kindness
A fresh drink reviving the sedentary and the traveler.

5. She prevailed over her contemporaries in her time
With abundant benefit for the land added.

6. She attained what she desired and obtained from the world,
With the state of Ismail, all praise.

7. And the excellence of her loftiness was adorned with chastity,
Asceticism, and success towards the best of goals.

8. And Majdi said, recording her building,
"The aqueduct of Zaba, sweet water of springs."
