1. Ali Pasha built a house of knowledge
For the sake of God, he strives for reward

2. And prepared it for a day that will not last
Except spending in doing what is right

3. And he paved in the way for it a path
Pure, resembling the water of springs

4. And he paved gardens and maidens
For those who build mosques at resting places

5. And whoever quenches the thirsty, for him is reward
From the Chosen One who came with the Book

6. So oh Lord of servants, grant him bounty
That will delight him tomorrow on Judgement Day

7. And it was completed for seventy thousand
And one hundred, without doubt
