1. رَبِّ اِجْزِ بِالخيرِ سُليمانَنا

    فَذاكَ عينُ الوزراءِ الكِرامْ

    O my Lord, reward our Sulayman with goodness.

    For he is the choicest of the noble ministers.

  2. للَّهِ شادَ سَلسبيلاً لَنا

    بِمائِهِ العَذبِ شِفاءُ السّقامْ

    For God, he built a Salsabil fountain for us.

    In its sweet water is a cure for illness.

  3. وَكَم بَنى حَوضاً لَنا مِثلَهُ

    أَحَلَّهُ اللَّهُ بِدارِ السّلامْ

    And many a basin like it he built for us.

    May God lodge him in the Abode of Peace.

  4. فَأَحْسِنِ اللهُمَّ ما قَد مَضى

    أَرّخته بَل جُدْ بِحُسنِ الختامْ

    So make good, O God, what has passed.

    I dated it: ‘Rather, bestow a good ending.’
