1. O Lord, reward our Solomon with goodness,
For he is the eye of the honourable ministers.
١. رَبِّ اِجْزِ بِالخيرِ سُليمانَنا
فَذاكَ عينُ الوزراءِ الكِرامْ
2. He built for us an easy path,
With its sweet water a cure for the sick.
٢. للَّهِ شادَ سَلسبيلاً لَنا
بِمائِهِ العَذبِ شِفاءُ السّقامْ
3. And how many such cisterns has he built for us,
May God allow him to reside in the Abode of Peace.
٣. وَكَم بَنى حَوضاً لَنا مِثلَهُ
أَحَلَّهُ اللَّهُ بِدارِ السّلامْ
4. So, O God, make good that which has passed,
I have recorded it, rather conclude with a good ending.
٤. فَأَحْسِنِ اللهُمَّ ما قَد مَضى
أَرّخته بَل جُدْ بِحُسنِ الختامْ
